Heads up, deal hunters! American Express is offering a sweet deal on prepaid hotel bookings made through Expedia. Check your Amex Offers (login to your Amex account and scroll down to the "Amex Offers & Benefits" section) to see if you're eligible. Some folks are seeing an offer to earn 10% back as a statement credit, while others might be lucky enough to snag 15% back! The deal is valid through December 19, 2024, and it's capped at $100 or $150 in statement credits, depending on the offer you receive. There is a new deal valid through 12/19/25, Limit $125 in total statement credits this time. There was also a previous deal valid until 4/7/2025.

Why is this exciting? Well, if you're planning any trips and prefer to prepay your hotels (using the "pay now" option), this is basically free money. Just make sure you book through the specified Expedia link (expedia.com/amex) and pay with your enrolled Amex card. The fine print excludes "pay at property" bookings, as well as cruises, vacation packages, flights, car rentals, and activities, so it's strictly for those prepaid hotel stays.

Here's a pro-tip: while the terms say you must use the Amex link, past experience with similar Amex offers suggests that going through a shopping portal for even more rewards might still trigger the Amex credit. It's not guaranteed, but worth considering for potentially maximizing your rewards! Happy travels, and happy savings!
