New: Sixt — $100 back on $500+

Sixt (an international car rental company with US locations bookable at sixt.com) pays $100 back as a statement credit on $500 or more charged to the enrolled card at sixt.com. The charge must be in USD, online only. Enrollment is required — tap to add in your Amex account.
Expiry: May 31, 2026. Rentals must be paid for by that date to qualify.
Stacking note: Frequent Miler's Nick Reyes has been seeing targeted Capital One Shopping offers of 30%–45% cashback at Sixt alongside this Amex Offer — "up to as much as 45% back," in his words. 1 The two offers operate independently and can be combined.
One caveat worth noting: Amex's rental car coverage is secondary and has known gaps. Reyes recommends paying separately for rental insurance rather than relying on the card benefit when using an Amex card at Sixt.

New: Turo — 20% back, up to $30

Turo (a peer-to-peer car rental marketplace where hosts list personal vehicles) pays 20% back as a one-time statement credit on up to $150 in spend — a maximum of $30 back. Unlike Chase's version of this offer ($30 back on $150+ minimum), the Amex Offer has no minimum spend requirement, making it more useful for short, cheap one-day rentals. 2
The booking must be made through turo.com or the Turo app for US or Canada rentals. Excluded: gift card transactions, completed trips paid before the offer was added, and payments made directly to hosts outside the platform. Expiry: May 31, 2026 — the car must be returned and the charge posted by that date.
Amex insurance exclusion: Amex's Car Rental Theft and Damage Insurance explicitly excludes peer-to-peer rentals. Turo is in that excluded category — do not rely on the Amex Platinum card benefit for coverage here.

Community find: SlingTV — $15 back × 2 + Rakuten stack

A post on r/amex by u/beigeavocadoo, confirmed by multiple commenters, shows an Amex Offer for SlingTV (Dish Network's live TV streaming service, with plans starting at $46/month for Orange): "Spend $19.99, earn $15 back up to 2 times" — maximum $30 back. 3 The offer requires activation in your Amex Offers page; it appears targeted.
The stacking angle: the same poster combined it with an elevated $45 Rakuten cashback offer on SlingTV Orange ($46/month). Combined value against a $46 charge: $30 (Amex) + $45 (Rakuten) = $75, more than the monthly subscription cost. Community users confirmed both credits post from a single transaction, because the Amex Offer language says "one or more qualifying purchases" rather than requiring separate charges.
Two data gaps: (1) the offer's expiry date is not visible in the screenshots and was not mentioned in the thread; (2) only a small number of community data points confirm availability — check your Amex account to see if this offer appears.

Final day: Homes & Villas by Marriott — $250 back

This offer expires today, May 24. Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy (Marriott's premium vacation rental platform at homesandvillasbymarriott.com) pays $250 back on $1,000 or more in cumulative spend. The booking must be made and the charge must post by end of today to qualify. 4

Homes & Villas by Marriott Amex Offer — expires today 4
Eligible properties are located in the US, Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. The $1,000 threshold can be met across multiple transactions at the same property — it does not need to be a single charge. Excluded: gift card purchases, Bonvoy points purchases, hotel-brand bookings outside of Homes & Villas.
Stacking options still available today:
  • Capital One Shopping: Targeted $300 back on $650+ at Homes & Villas (check your C1 Shopping dashboard)
  • Shopping portals: Click-through via CashbackMonitor aggregator for additional portal cashback
  • Dual-card strategy: Stephen Pepper at Frequent Miler notes that households with the Amex Offer loaded on two separate cards could potentially pay $1,000+ on one card and the remaining balance on the other, earning two $250 credits — verify carefully before attempting this.

2 days left: IHG Hotels & Resorts — $50 back

IHG Hotels & Resorts (InterContinental Hotels Group, operating InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Kimpton, and others) pays $50 back on $250 or more at participating properties, expiring May 26, 2026. 5 Spend is cumulative and can span multiple stays.

IHG Amex Offer — 2 days remaining 5
Covered regions: US, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, UK, Japan, Germany. About 70 properties are excluded — the full list is at americanexpress.com/us/ihgamexoffer. Book directly via IHG.com, the IHG app, or by calling 1-877-424-2449. Qualifying spend covers room rate and room charges (meals, spa, parking, pet fees, etc.) during the stay.
Room charges during award stays also count — the offer applies to incidental charges billed to the room, not just the room rate itself.

Still active through May 31

Viator — $35 back × 2

Viator (TripAdvisor's tours and activities booking platform) pays $35 back each time you spend $350 or more, usable twice for a maximum of $70 total. 6 The $350 threshold applies per transaction, not cumulatively — each use requires a single qualifying charge. At exactly $350, the return is 10%. Online only at viator.com or the Viator app, in USD.

Air France / KLM — $250 or $400 back

Two tiers, both expiring May 31, 2026 7:
  • $250 back on $1,250+ cumulative spend
  • $400 back on $2,000+ cumulative spend
Book through AirFrance.us or KLM.com (US sites or US mobile apps). Flights must originate in the US and be charged in USD. Travel can occur after May 31 — only the payment needs to post by the deadline.
Flying Blue award ticket taxes and fees originating from the US count toward the spend threshold, which makes the $1,250 minimum more reachable than it looks for cardholders using the MR → Flying Blue transfer route.
Excluded: KLM Package Deals, hotel/car bookings, lounge fees, and various ancillary services. The Amex Platinum's 5× MR on airfare charged directly with the airline stacks with this offer.

adidas — +6 MR per dollar (expiry confirmed May 31)

The adidas.com offer earns +6 bonus Membership Rewards points per dollar spent, up to 5,000 bonus points. 8 This is a points-earning offer, not a statement credit — which is why it does not appear on Frequent Miler's "Last Chance" deals page. CardPointers data confirms May 31, 2026 as the expiry, correcting the previous December 31 placeholder. Online only at adidas.com US; excludes hype sales and gift cards.

MR bonus: Amazon Shop With Points (not an Amex Offer)

This is a separate Amazon-side promotion. The Amazon Shop With Points discount for Membership Rewards cardholders — 15% to 50% off, up to an $80 maximum — was reissued May 22 and runs through June 30, 2026, or until 21,250 customers redeem, whichever comes first. 9 10
To trigger: apply at least $5–$10 worth of MR points at checkout (~715–1,429 points). The discount applies to the remaining balance. Works on third-party gift cards sold on Amazon (Visa, Uber, Airbnb, Best Buy, etc.) — not Amazon's own gift cards. Offer is targeted and invitation-only.
