Today is a great day to have an American Express credit card in your wallet.

If you’ve been targeted for Amex’s latest offer, you could earn 17,500 Membership Rewards by booking a trip to Italy with ITA Airways — the nation’s flag carrier.

Here are the details of this very generous offer, which is back for a third (and much improved) time.

Amex Offer Details: ITA Airways

The offer is not restricted to any particular American Express card, so make sure to check each of your cards by logging in online or opening up your Amex app.

If you’ve been targeted, all you need to do is add this offer, and you’ll earn 17,500 Amex Membership Rewards points after spending $1,000 or more on eligible flights with ITA Airways.

As Amex Offers always come with some terms and conditions, these are the most important to make note of for this particular offer:

  • Flight must originate in the U.S. and be charged in U.S. dollars.
  • Flights must be booked directly on ITA Airways’ website or mobile app and not through a partner site, travel agent, affiliate, or third party.
  • Purchases must be made before November 30, 2024.
  • Purchase can be made in 1 (or more) transactions.
  • Bonus points will be credited to your Amex account within 90 days after November 30, 2024.

We found this Amex Offer on The Platinum Card® from American Express, which is one of the best cards for travel. The Amex Platinum card awards 5x points on flights booked directly with the airline or through amextravel.com (up to $500,000 per year, then 1x points).

If you spend the minimum of $1,000 on an ITA Airways booking using an Amex Platinum card, you could walk away with 22,500 Membership Rewards points stacked with the Amex Offer! We value Amex points at 2.2 cents apiece, making this deal worth about $495 toward future travel — nearly a 50% return.

Hot Tip:

Amex Membership Rewards points are one of the most valuable rewards currencies. There are lots of ways to redeem Amex points for maximum value.

About ITA Airways

ITA Airways took over Italy’s beleaguered former flag carrier Alitalia back in 2021.

Since then, the airline has been slowly but surely building its global network, including the following 7 U.S. cities:

  • Boston (BOS)
  • Chicago (ORD)
  • Los Angeles (LAX)
  • Miami (MIA)
  • New York (JFK)
  • San Francisco (SFO)
  • Washington, D.C. (IAD)

ITA Airways is currently part of the SkyTeam alliance, but with Lufthansa acquiring 41% of the airline later this year, you could end up flying on a Star Alliance airline.

Final Thoughts

If you’re planning a trip to Italy, this Amex Offer is just the thing for you.

Booking a flight with ITA Airways can earn you a decent chunk of Membership Rewards points, which you can use towards your next trip! Grazie mille, Amex.
