DESCRIPTION
Want to know how to get an Amex retention offer? Follow this easy guide to learn how to increase your chances of getting one (or more)! Click “Show More” to see Ad Disclosure.
Amex retention offers can come in a variety of formats. You could receive bonus points or a statement credit.
To give a few examples, if you have the Amex Green Card, Amex Gold Card, or Amex Platinum Card and receive a points-based retention offer, then you’ll get bonus Amex Membership Rewards points. You might get a straight points offer with no strings attached or you may have to meet a spend requirement first.
In the case of having a hotel credit card, then your retention offer would earn hotel-based points (e.g., you’d earn hotel points if you have the Hilton Honors American Express Card, Hilton Honors Surpass Card, Hilton Honors Aspire Card, Marriott Bonvoy Bevy Card, or Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Card).
And of course, if you have an airline credit card, then your retention offer would earn airline miles (e.g., you’d earn Delta SkyMiles if you have the Delta SkyMiles Gold, Delta SkyMiles Platinum, or Delta SkyMiles Reserve American Express Cards).
Amex retention offers can be great to help you justify keeping your credit card open longer, especially if you were on the fence about canceling it.
Just be sure to keep your card open for at least another 12 months if you accept a retention offer. Otherwise, American Express could close your account, take back your points, or even close all credit card accounts you have with them. Play by the rules!
Now it's time to earn more Amex points!
