Wow, I have an AMEX but didn't know about it. For anyone else curious: https://www.shoprunner.com/americanexpress/ https://www.shoprunner.com/americanexpress/ EDIT: Apparently it's not all American Express cards. My Fidelity AMEX doesn't qualify.

Yep, I didn't know either until the holiday season was almost over. I could've ShopRunner'd so many things!

Blue Cash Preferred qualifies. Man, I'm still discovering little perks to AMEX like this.

  Any other notable perks?

    The one that always jumps to mind is, on "Small business Saturday", if you register beforehand: - visit a small business on their qualifying list, which is quite long - Spend $10 or more on your AMEX - Get a $10 statement credit I don't know how "notable" that one is, but I always liked it and not everyone knows about it

      From the FAQ: "Can I still register my Card for the American Express $10 Card Member Offer for Small Business Saturday?" "Unfortunately, the enrollment period for the offer has ended." Looks like this the enrollment was only available Nov 24-30.

        Yes, you do have to enroll every year, but it is easy.

    Purchase Protection. This saved me recently. Broke my new Nexus 5's screen in a matter of a week. Sent to LG for repair and they repaired it for 150$. I filed a purchase protection claim for this 150$ with AmEx and they refunded me the cost in a week. Just emailed them the claim form and receipts. Can't recommend this enough.

    Generally AMEX is known for better customer service, but YMMV. AMEX is often seen as a good choice for people looking to build credit because they're often willing to give out a 3x credit limit increase (without a hard credit pull) first 90 days after getting a card, and then every 6 months after that (up to a point and assuming you're using the account and in good standing).
