The Amex Offers program frequently has promotions that can save you money or earn you bonus points for purchases you’d make anyway. While I usually focus on offers for travel (particularly for hotel stays and airlines), there’s a fantastic shopping offer at the moment that I plan to take advantage of.Spend $250 with Neiman Marcus, get 5K bonus pointsThere’s a new targeted Amex Offer deal whereby you can earn 5,000 bonus Membership Rewards points when you spend $250+ in one or more transactions with Neiman Marcus. The offer is valid for purchases through June 6, 2023.There’s also a version out there for a $50 statement credit rather than a 5,000 Membership Rewards points bonus, though I’d definitely prefer the points bonus. That’s because I value Membership Rewards points at 1.7 cents each, so that’s the equivalent of an $85 return, by my valuation, getting you over a one-third discount on such a purchase.Do be aware of the following terms:This is valid both in-store at US locations and online at neimanmarcus.comExcludes gift cards purchased in-store or online, restaurants and cafés located in-store, and Gift Now transactionsNot valid for Neiman Marcus Last Call, Cusp by Neiman Marcus, The Heart of Neiman Marcus, or purchases shipped outside of the USWhile I’m not usually a Neiman Marcus customer, the reason I think this is worth highlighting is that most high-end department stores have standardized pricing for big brand items.For example, whether you’re looking for perfume or skincare products or candles or many clothing items, you’ll pay the same for a specific brand no matter where you buy it.If you make a purchase online, be sure you also use an online shopping portal to earn even further rewards.Bottom lineIf you’d otherwise consider making a purchase with another high-end department store, this is definitely a reason to shop with Neiman Marcus instead. I value the 5,000 Membership Rewards points at a roughly 35% return, plus whatever you’d earn through a shopping portal and your credit card spending.Was your account targeted for this Neiman Marcus Amex Offer, and if so, do you plan on taking advantage of it?
