American Express is rolling out a slew of limited-time offerings across an array of select cards, including things like statement credits, additional rewards and discounts on purchases that have become more common due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new features — beginning May 1, 2020 — extend for several months, with some lasting through the end of this year, depending on the card. All other normal card benefits remain the same. Terms apply.
