I usually don't shop at Saks so I keep the credits right at or around the $50. Once I got cologne on sale and another time some great underwear. Thanks for the tutorial mark!
Nope, gift cards are not valid. Here's a link to a blog post from Miles to Memories about potential clawbacks: milestomemories.com/amex-platinum-saks-credit-gift-cards/
There’s the chance of a claw back but I bought a gift card in store and got the credit. I’m also wondering if you buy an item and gift card what happens if you just return the item after you get credit.
I didn't know about getting free shipping with Shoprunner while purchasing from Saks. That would've saved me a few dollars, so I''ll make sure I have that for next time
Interesting note sir! Via chat Amex told me I wasn’t eligible for Saks credit due to my platinum card being tied to Apple Pay. Lesson learned. They say punch it in on the website..
To clarify, Saks' website accepts Apple Pay. So, are you saying you were not eligible for the credit because (a) You checked out w/ Apple Pay or (b) You checked out manually by typing in the #s but simply had your Platinum Card added to Apple Pay?
@@8ballMarcucilli - That doesn't add up then. I've made purchases on Saks with my Platinum Card while it was added to my Apple Wallet and received the credit multiple times without any issues.
Thank you an informative video. If I go to shoprunner and purchase an item from Saks Fifth Avenue, would I get the $50 statement credit and the free 2 day shipping? Thank you in advance.
ShopRunner is no longer available with Saks Fifth Avenue 😬 That's been the case since at least June 2023. Here's a blog post by DoC: www.doctorofcredit.com/saks-fifth-avenue-no-longer-on-shoprunner-100-minimum-for-free-shipping
Great Video ! ... More Amex Benefits Videos Please !! ... especially on new good revolving benefits... I just redeemed 10k USD worth of travel for my Maldives Trip while at the same time left at least 600 bucks on the table for Restaurant Dining credits since they introduced it...
@@MarkReese Yes for my redemption of the life time ... 5 nights at the Curio Saii / Hilton Maldives incl. 5th night free + update to beach villa $900/night and $250 resort credit at check out flight with delta / amex points . I didn't want to ask you how priority boarding works with code share partners .. I don't think Air France honers Delta priority zones !?
@@tobyreal6647 - Legit! 💯 To clarify, you transferred Amex points to Delta, and then used Delta SkyMiles to book an Air France flight? What type of cabin? Do you have elite status?
@@MarkReese Yes, correct thats how I used the points. It was a delta booking but code share flight with air france. I have the Delta Gold Card and the delta booking portal should detect that when I'm logged in and should assign a status to my ticket / boarding card ( just like it does for my TSA status etc.) so I should be boarding in Zone 4 but it seams like statuses don't transfer over to code share airlines even when they are booked with the primary airline.
@@tobyreal6647 - As I understand it, the Priority Boarding benefit via credit card is only for Delta-operated flights. Here's a quote from the Terms: _"Main Cabin 1 Priority Boarding will only be available on Delta and Delta Connection carrier operated flights."_
Mark, you are my favorite credit card UA-camr,.. I have learned so much with you videos,.. if you don’t mind me asking you , which one is your absolutely #1 card and your worst card you have in your wallet?? My #1 card in my wallet is the Amex Platinum and my worst is my Chase United Club infinite card (but I’ll keep it because United is my home airport hub). Cheers brother 🍻!
Appreciate the support, Leoprieto74! 😃👊 I don't have 1 best card. However, my worst card would probably be the Citi ThankYou Preferred or Barclays AAdvantage Aviator ($0 fee version).
Hey Mark, how do I use the Hotel Collections or Fine Hotels and Resorts credits? Do I go the Amex portal and click the link from there or I can book on Amex travel portal and it will be credited? Thanks.
Hi Anietie - here's a link to another video about how to use the $200 Hotel Credit, which show the FH&R and THC portals 😃 ua-cam.com/video/gOM8LYQIJ18/v-deo.html
I would think so since you're buying directly from Saks, but I cannot guarantee it as I haven't given it a try. The terms only say the following: _"Valid at Saks Fifth Avenue online or at locations in the US and US Territories. Not valid on Saks Fifth Avenue Gift Cards or purchases at outlet locations (in stores and online). Excludes purchases at restaurants located within the store and Online Bill Pay for Saks Credit. Not valid on online purchases shipped outside of the US."_
The real question; can you stack this at the end of the year, to get $100 in the second half of the year, or does an unused credit not roll over for Saks 5th?
@@MarkReese Thank you for the reply, and darn wouldn's that be cool coming into Christmas time! Either way, love this card, and all its benefits; my go to card!
Any way to stack multiple plats for one purchase? Any plans on doing a Gopuff video? I have 5 eligible cards so bought 10 dollar gift cards with each a few days ago and got the credit back already
@@mstegs5477 - Unfortunately Saks doesn't have a split-payment option online ☹ (but in stores it will work). I don't have plans to use GoPuff right now. Great that you got your credit back for it already!
Would love a video on creative ways to use the airline credit.
Thanks for the suggestion, Tom! 💯
First thing I spend in Jan-Feb and Jul-Aug to get it out of the way.
Smart move 💡

You're smart to use it in a way that doesn't cause you to overspend 👊
Can I go to a Saks store and buy a gift card with this credit?

I purchased a 50 gift card last month and did receive the credit back!
Oh man, i didn't know you could buy candy, maybe I would use the credit. 🤔
You sure can! It's a great use for it, too 😁

@@MarkReese Gor different answers from chat . 2 reps said I should get it
I got the $50 Saxs credit today lol
Thanks for the info + video! The tutorial was super helpful!
Glad it helped!
hmmm, I wonder if the credit also posts with purchases at Saks OFF 5TH
Unfortunately no ✌️
I wish all Amex other credits was like the Saks credit. Half and half
It'd be a lot easier to keep track of them all!
My fav UA-cam. Thanks for another amazing video.
Thanks Sobe G! 💯
Never thought about the Sax perk but I am sitting in the Sky miles lounge in JFK watching this video😊😊
Delta's SkyClub network is great! Enjoy ✈

If I opened my amex plat last month, would I be receiving the full $100 credit or just $50?
$50 only
Hey Kevin - just $50. Unused credits do not roll over.
Hi mark! This is super helpful. Thank you :) Question, do these credits roll over if you don't use them within the year?
Glad you found benefit in the video! 😃🎬 The credits do not roll over.
I got some Kate Spade earrings for my mom. Spent a total of $58 so really only $8 and it came in a really nice package.
Great gift, well done! 👊
Another 💎. Turning that purchase into a $10 charge. 😎
You know it!
Does credit apply to purchases on the Saks App?
I would think so since you're buying directly from Saks, but I cannot guarantee it as I haven't given it a try.

Not valid on Saks Fifth Avenue Gift Cards or purchases at outlet locations (in stores and online). Excludes purchases at restaurants located within the store and Online Bill Pay for Saks Credit.

Can you buy 2 items totalling $50 in single checkout payment and get the $50 credit or only one of those item will be credited?
Sure, you can have multiple items in your cart totaling $50 and still trigger the credit 😃👍
No platinum card lol can’t stomach that fee lol
It's a crazy fee ✌️
@@MarkReese very
Hey so I got my platinum card. For the first $50 do they deduct the $50 after I place the order? Because I don’t see it before making any purchase
Hi Denys - you'll receive the credit after the purchase posts to your card. It'll likely take a number of days for it to show up.
The real question; can you stack this at the end of the year, to get $100 in the second half of the year, or does an unused credit not roll over for Saks 5th?
It doesn't roll over.
@@MarkReese Thank you for the reply, and darn wouldn's that be cool coming into Christmas time! Either way, love this card, and all its benefits; my go to card!
Will the new 50$ be ready to use on January 1st of 2022?
Yes it will!
Damn I want a250k credit limit too!
😁👍
Great info, keep up the 👏 great job…
Thanks! 👍
No rakuten?
I went through Rakuten 😃👍 Kept that off camera to maintain focus on the Amex benefit itself.
I made a purchase with them and still haven’t gotten it
How long ago was the purchase?
Did you use your Saks credit this year? 😃
Any way to stack multiple plats for one purchase? Any plans on doing a Gopuff video? I have 5 eligible cards so bought 10 dollar gift cards with each a few days ago and got the credit back already

1 pair of Versace Boxers and 1 pair of Versace Socks lol 100 bucks each 50% off lol ... Versace socks who does that lol .... 😃🤔😃
I use my Saks credit to buy new underwear every year (Jan-Jun: Briefs & Jul-Dec: T-Shirts)
