Amex Platinum Offers — May 25, 2026

No new Amex Offers were released today — the fifth consecutive day without a fresh drop from the tracked aggregators. 1 2 That makes expiry management the only real action available to Platinum cardholders today. One offer expires tomorrow. Five expire in six days. One status gap has now been filled.

The Homes & Villas by Marriott $250/$1,000 offer tracked in previous issues expired May 24 and is no longer actionable. 2

LAST CALL: IHG — $50 back on $250+ expires tomorrow (May 26)

IHG Hotels & Resorts (InterContinental Hotels Group, operating InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Kimpton, EVEN Hotels, and others) pays $50 back on cumulative spend of $250 or more, with the charge deadline of Tuesday, May 26, 2026. 2 This is a targeted offer — it may not appear on all cards.

This is the only tracked offer expiring before the May 31 batch. If you have a paid IHG stay tonight or tomorrow, or can prepay a future booking that posts by end of day May 26, this is the window.

Covered regions: US, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, UK, Japan, Germany. Spend is cumulative across multiple stays. Room charges during award stays (meals, spa, parking, pet fees billed to the room) also count toward the $250 threshold. Excluded properties are listed at americanexpress.com/us/ihgamexoffer. Book via IHG.com, the IHG One Rewards app, or by calling 1-877-424-2449.

All offers are targeted. Verify each appears on your specific card before spending.

Status update: SlingTV expiry confirmed as June 23

The SlingTV offer's expiration date was listed as unconfirmed in previous issues. It has now been independently verified as June 23, 2026, cross-referenced between UpgradedPoints' Best Current Amex Offers page and community screenshots. 3

Offer terms (unchanged): Spend $19.99 or more, earn $15 back, up to 2 times — $30 maximum. SlingTV (Dish Network's live TV streaming service, with plans starting at $46/month for Orange) requires activation in your Amex Offers page.

Stacking confirmed: Community user u/beigeavocadoo on r/amex reported combining the Amex Offer with an elevated $45 Rakuten cashback on SlingTV Orange ($46/month), yielding $30 (Amex) + $45 (Rakuten) against a $46 charge. 4 Multiple commenters confirmed the stack works:

"It stacks. I got $30 cash back from Amex from one transaction previously." — u/Fabulous_Welcome4318 4

One mechanics note: community data confirms that a single transaction of $54.99 or more triggers both $15 credits simultaneously ($30 total in one shot), which also means the offer is fully consumed after that transaction and will not reset next month. 4 If you want to spread the credits across two billing cycles, keep individual charges to $19.99–$54.98.

Community find: Amazon — spend $40, earn 1,000 MR points (up to 3×)

A post on r/AmexPlatinum by u/SpartanScribe surfaced an Amazon Amex Offer appearing on Membership Rewards-earning cards (including Platinum and Gold): spend $40 or more at Amazon, earn 1,000 MR points, up to 3 times — 3,000 MR total. 5 This offer is not available on non-MR cards.

This offer is targeted and multi-variant. Community comments show significantly worse versions: u/beyondeccentric received "spend $50 for 500 MR" and u/HopefulCat3558 received "spend $150 for 1,200 MR." 5 Some accounts show no offer at all.

This is a community-spotted offer only — no aggregator (Frequent Miler, Doctor of Credit, The Points Guy) has published a dedicated post confirming terms or expiry. Check your Amex Offers page before planning around it; expiry date is currently unknown.

Do not confuse this with the Amazon MR Shop with Points promotion — that is a separate Amazon-side discount and is not an Amex Offer.

Expiring May 31 — six days remaining

Five offers share the May 31 deadline. None have changed terms since they were first tracked.

Sixt — $100 back on $500+

Sixt (an international car rental company with US locations bookable at sixt.com) pays $100 back as a statement credit on $500 or more charged to the enrolled card at sixt.com. 2 Enrollment required; USD charges only; online booking only. Expiry: May 31, 2026.

Stacking note: Frequent Miler has noted that targeted Capital One Shopping offers of 30–45% cashback at Sixt have appeared alongside this Amex Offer for some cardholders — check your C1 Shopping dashboard before booking. 6

Turo — 20% back, up to $30

Turo (a peer-to-peer car rental marketplace) pays 20% back on up to $150 in spend — $30 maximum, with no minimum spend requirement. 7 This makes it more useful for short, cheap rentals than the Chase version of this offer ($30 back on $150+ minimum). Book through turo.com or the Turo app for US or Canada rentals. Expiry: May 31, 2026.

Note: Amex's Car Rental Theft and Damage Insurance explicitly excludes peer-to-peer rentals — do not rely on Platinum card coverage for Turo bookings.

Viator — $35 back × 2

Viator (TripAdvisor's tours and activities booking platform) pays $35 back each time you spend $350 or more, usable twice for a maximum of $70. 2 The $350 threshold applies per transaction, not cumulatively — each use requires a single qualifying charge. Online only at viator.com or the Viator app, in USD. Expiry: May 31, 2026.

Air France / KLM — $250 or $400 back

Two-tier structure, both expiring May 31, 2026 2:

$250 back on $1,250 or more in cumulative spend
$400 back on $2,000 or more in cumulative spend

Book through AirFrance.us or KLM.com (US sites or mobile apps). Flights must originate in the US and be charged in USD. Travel can occur after May 31 — only the payment needs to post by the deadline.

Flying Blue award ticket taxes and fees originating in the US count toward the spend threshold. The Amex Platinum's 5× MR on airfare charged directly with the airline stacks with this offer.

adidas — +6 MR per dollar (up to 5,000 points)

The adidas.com offer earns +6 bonus Membership Rewards points per dollar spent, capped at 5,000 bonus points. 1 This is a points-earning offer, not a statement credit. Online only at adidas.com US; excludes hype sales and gift cards. Expiry: May 31, 2026.

Community radar: Saks credit replacement

A thread on r/AmexPlatinum asking "What merchant is going to replace Saks credit?" gathered 109 comments after Saks Fifth Avenue filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring. 8 The Saks $50 semi-annual credit on Amex Platinum ends July 1, 2026.

Community sentiment is skeptical that Amex will name a like-for-like replacement retailer. The top comment, from u/ffxjack (29 points), was a sardonic prediction: 8

"There will now be monthly $10 Blockbuster credits and $50 quarterly credits at Sears."

One commenter (u/MaybeNotTooDay) claimed Amex has indicated it will not designate a specific replacement but will instead add more offers like "those useless 3% back up to $20 purchase at Rugs.com." 8 That claim is unverified — no Amex official statement or cardholder notification has been confirmed by any aggregator.

One factual clarification from the thread: u/TallGuyinBushwick noted that Saks filed Chapter 11 (reorganization), not Chapter 7 (liquidation) — stores will continue operating. 8 The credit ending July 1 is Amex's decision, not a direct consequence of Saks closing.

If you have remaining Saks credit to use before July 1, the six-week window is open.

What to act on today

Priority order by deadline:

IHG Hotels & Resorts — $50 back on $250+. Expires tomorrow, May 26. Add the offer now if you have a paid IHG stay tonight or can prepay a qualifying charge that posts by end of day Tuesday.
May 31 batch — Sixt, Turo, Viator, Air France/KLM, adidas. Six days remaining. None of these require immediate spend today, but enrollment is free — add all five now so they're active if plans arise this week.
SlingTV — $15 back × 2. Expiry now confirmed as June 23. Check your Amex Offers page; if present, decide whether to consume both credits in one transaction or spread them across two billing cycles (keep individual charges under $54.99 to split).
Amazon MR — spend $40, earn 1,000 MR × 3. Community-reported only; check your card. If the best variant ($40 → 1,000 MR) is present, three qualifying Amazon orders covers the full cap.
Saks $50 credit. Ends July 1. Six weeks remain to use the semi-annual benefit if you haven't yet.
