New Amex statement credits

[DejaBrew]

I for one would love a hotel % based cashback - the minimums are usually far below what I spend on work travel so 400/80 vs a flat 20% is a no brainer for me.

Yeah, that's why I say the % offers are certainly beneficial for some things, but less attractive for others. Six to one, half a dozen to the other I guess.

It's always worth checking back the next day if there's an offer you're interested in that hasn't appeared for you. I'm not sure if it's just because their systems take a while to roll these things out, or if they're deliberately rolled out in stages depending on uptake. Either way I've often found an offer that hasn't appeared for me will show up a day or two later.

A Qantas offer has only come up for me once, and it happened during a period in which I hadn't recently spent anything on air travel. The last two times others have reported it occurred during statement periods wherein I'd already purchased Qantas flights.

So my new new conspiracy theory is that the algorithm sees this and doesn't bother offering it to me. Probably not true, but I'm allowing myself to indulge the scepticism.

I was pondering that!
