As the summer vacation and travel season approaches, taking advantage of offers to accumulate points and get discounts must be the ABC of reward traveler strategies. In this article, we want to line up all the opportunities available to you at this time.
#1 Booking through the Amex travel portal.
Until next June 30, all rental (and hotel) reservations made through the American Express travel portal will generate a gain of up to 10.5 MR points. For every euro spent you normally earn, depending on the card, 1 or 1.5 MR points, to which you add 9 bonus points for every euro spent.
American Express Platinum Holders also have insurance coverage that covers all insurances in addition to those required by law. This means that you will be able to Avoid taking out the expensive extra coverages that cover accidental damage and vehicle theft.
#2 Taking advantage of American Express discount/cashback offers.
Checking for cashback offers before booking is a great way to avoid losing money down the road. Right now there are as many as 3 offers.
Hertz's first offer allows you to get €50 cashback on a €300 spend. The promo is also valid across multiple transactions and rentals. To be valid it must be activated and used by June 6, the date of the reservation/payment not necessarily the rental.
Cashback also from Sicilybycar, which is offering a €30 cashback against a minimum spend of €100 for bookings until next Sept. 11.
Discount of 10%, up to a maximum value of €30, for all bookings made through the rental.co.uk portal
#3 Accumulate more points with Payback coupons
The third option is to check the possibility of exploiting Payback coupons to accumulate, in addition to the Membership Rewards points, also multi-brand collection points.
Maximizing collection means in this case trying to add coupons to the rest of the benefits thus achieving a greater result without spending an extra euro.
