I saw this on the Points With a Crew Slack channel this morning – there is a new Amex Offer that appears to have come out this morning.
(SEE ALSO: Making money with Amex Sync Offers)
I had this on every single one of my and my wife’s cards, so it does not appear targeted.
Normally I like to buy stuff at Staples with my Chase Ink card for the 5x at office supply stores, but this is essentnially a free $20, if you’re making purchases at Staples!
I would imagine this Amex Offer will sell out quite quickly!
Remember if you have multiple American Express cards – don’t just click on add to offer – you need to know how to sync multiple Amex Offers
Staples Amex Offer terms and conditions
Here are the terms and conditions – I’ve bolded some of the more important ones

I have not been offered Staples for either of my Amex cards – one business and one personal. Sad.
It’s possible that it already ran out – these types of offers go pretty fast!
Please explain what you mean by an offer running out?
I checked at 6;00PM tonight 11/15, same day as you posted, and I did not receive this Staples offer.
The deal went live in the early morning of 11/14, when I posted it. If you’re getting my daily emails – they go out the day afterwards with the posts from the day before
I’m finally getting around to using my Staples.com offers today. I purchased a $50 Groupon e-mail GC and $50 Southwest Air e-mail GC and received the automated “We appreciate you using your Amex Offer at http://WWW.STAPLES.COM” However, the offer language states – “Excludes Staples branded e-gift card” I assume that this means ONLY Staples e-gift cards. But, this could be understood to mean ANY e-gift card sold thru Staples. Could someone confirm that I’m safe with ANY e-gift card that is not Staples.
If you’ve already gotten the email from Amex, you should be all set. You can probably log in to your account online and already see the statement credit. Congrats!
