One of my favourite features of the American Express cards is their offer of statement credits. Under this program, you receive cashback in your account when spending with certain merchants.
The offers come up at a wide variety of merchants. These offers can be from travel providers such as hotels, airlines and car rental companies. However, the offers could really be from any merchant in the American Express network.
It is as simple as registering the offer, and then making the qualifying spend on your Amex card.
These promotions are generally separate from other promotion or discount you can get. Even if you negotiate a good discount, you’ll still get the cashback. You just need to meet the requirements of the offer.
In the list below, give some that may be useful to travellers looking for discounts on their travel expenses.

American Express Statement Credits
American Express Statement Credits are an awesome feature of American Express. Under the program, they offer a credit back on your American Express card, when achieving the requirements of the offer.
In order to participate in the offer, you will need to register. This will need to be done prior to spending at the relevant merchants.
Where to find the offers?
On this page, I highlight some interesting offers that are travel related. There are, however, a much broader range of offers available. Some offers are targetted, while some are more generally available.
Online Account
Many of the offers are personalised, and you can find these offers in your Offers section of your online account. These offers may be found toward the bottom of your account page after you have logged into your account.
Offers Page
Offers can also appear on the Amex Connect Offers page. These are usually available to more members that the targetted offers. As a result, it is worth checking out this page regularly to see what may be available.
Which Cards can be used?
Generally speaking American Express Cards issued by American Express Australia Limited are eligible for the promotions. This does, however, vary by promotion, and specific cards may be excluded from an offer.
Other Promotions
The American Express connect website contains a range of offers, and is regularly updated with new offers. These generally cover the shopping, entertainment, travel and dining categories, and it is worth browsing through these from time to time to see what is available.
