With perks like elite hotel status and airport lounge access, American Express Platinum Card® It is one of TPG’s most popular cards among frequent travelers.
That’s not all. The card also offers additional statement points on top of travel benefits, increasing its value and offsetting the $895 annual fee (see Rates and Fees).
For example, you can earn up to $100 in Saks Fifth Avenue statement credit each calendar year, with up to $50 in the first from January through June and $50 in the second half of the year. (Registration required.)
This “use it or lose it” credit resets twice a year, which means December is your last chance to use the credit in the second half of the year (if you haven’t already).
You can get even more value by purchasing through one of the shopping portals that offer bonus cash back or points toward Saks purchases. Currently, Rakuten offers 2% cash back for purchases of Saks merchandise, and some airline shopping sites also offer additional mileage rewards for purchases of Saks merchandise. Check out our shopping portal guide to learn how to stack offers and get the most bang for your buck.
Here are six currently discounted items you can consider using your points before they expire at the end of the month.
Maison de Saber Sabremoji fruit charm
AirTags are great for tracking your belongings, and these cute fruit charms are sized to fit every AirTag. Instead of leaving an AirTag floating around in your bag, clip one of these charms to your purse, backpack, or keychain. I like oranges, but apples, cherries, corn, kiwi and tomatoes are other options. Once you receive your $50 back from Saks, you can purchase this adorable charm in select colors for just $9.25, not including tax and shipping.
