For frequent mall and outlet shoppers interested in big savings, the Simon American Express Credit Card from Cardless could be a great fit. It offers the following rewards in the form of statement credit or cash back:

  • 5% back on all in-store purchases within Simon Malls, Simon Mills and Simon Premium Outlets, and on certain online purchases.

  • Up to 10% back on gift cards from select Simon retailers, when purchased through the Cardless app.

  • 1% back on all other qualifying purchases.

Cardholders must use their Simon American Express Credit Card five times per billing cycle to receive rewards on that statement. The 5% bonus category is also subject to a $10,000 annual spending cap.

Earn 5% back at all Simon retailers

As of September 2023, purchases made from any of Simon's nearly 200 locations within the U.S. and Puerto Rico are now eligible to earn 5% back on up to $10,000 in combined annual spending. (Previously, the card offered 5% back only at a handful eligible Simon merchants, with all other purchases at Simon properties earning 3% back.)

Up to 10% back on gift cards

Not making a mall visit anytime soon? You can still earn big rewards and meet that five-purchase minimum per billing cycle. Use your Simon American Express Credit Card through the Cardless app to purchase store gift cards from retailers like Gap, H&M, Adidas and more, and you'll get up to 10% cash back.
