What Are Amex Offers?

Amex Offers are targeted and can provide bonus points or cash-back (received as a statement credit) after spending with an eligible merchant.

To check for these offers, you’ll want to log in to your American Express account, either on your mobile app or on the website, and scroll through each card you have to see if you were targeted.

These offers won’t be available to everyone, but you can check each card individually to see which, if any, may be available to you. Make sure to add Amex Offers to your card to enroll prior to making a purchase.

Details of Amex Offers for Hotels.com

There are currently 2 Amex Offers for those looking to book hotels through Hotels.com.

This first offer is new and requires you to book a prepaid hotel with Hotels.com by August 31, 2026. With this offer, you’ll earn 10% cash-back (in the form of a statement credit) on purchases, up to $100 in total cash-back.

Maximizing this offer requires $1,000 in spending for bookings directly through hotels.com/amex.

What Is Hotels.com?

If you’re not familiar with Hotels.com, it is similar to Expedia or Travelocity — sites where you can search for thousands of hotels worldwide and book directly on the website.

One thing to keep in mind, however, is that Hotels.com bookings always count as third-party bookings when booking with major hotel chains. This means that you won’t earn any loyalty points or stay credits or receive elite benefits on a Hotels.com stay at Marriott or Hilton, for example. If these perks matter to you, you’ll want to book directly through the chain.

Hotels.com does participate in the One Key rewards program, so you can earn up to 6% in OneKeyCash and earn towards status on eligible bookings.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking to earn a nice chunk of bonus points on your next hotel stay, be sure to check both your American Express personal cards and American Express business cards to see if you were targeted for these offers to save up to 10% cash-back or 10,000 Membership Rewards points on your next Hotels.com booking. Because this can be used to book pretty much any hotel on the Hotels.com website, there are a lot of ways you can use this offer!
