It’s that time of year again—the "Saks Double Dip" is back! 🥂💰
We usually focus on the big-picture strategy at awardtrail, but when the stars align for an easy win, we have to shout it out. Rakuten is currently offering 10% cash back (or 10x Membership Rewards points) at Saks Fifth Avenue.
Why this is a must-act for Amex Platinum holders:
The Credit: You have a $50 Saks credit for the first half of the year (expires June 30).
The Points: By clicking through Rakuten, you earn 500 Amex points on a $50 purchase.
The Math: If you value Amex MR points at 2 cents each (which we do!), that’s an extra $10 back on a "free" $50 purchase.
Awardtrail Pro-Tip: If you’ve already used your credit, don't ignore this. 10x back on luxury goods or high-end kitchenware (anyone need a new espresso scale?) is a fantastic way to top off your balance for that next big redemption.
Have you used your $50 credit yet? Drop a 👇 if you’re grabbing something today!
