Amex Platinum cardholders have a $50 credit to Saks twice per year (Jan-Jun, Jul-Dec). If you haven't used your credit yet, the Saks Black Friday deal is a great time to do so.
Saks is running a promo in which you can spend $150 and get a $75 Saks promotional gift card in return. The $150 total does not include taxes, shipping, gift wrap, gift cards, and merchandise credit.
The promo code is HELLOBFSF. This deal ends at 11:59pm ET on Friday, November 24.
Please note that the promotional gift card is only valid December 10-24, so you'll need to use it shortly after your original purchase.
Limit one promotional gift card per person.
Points Wire Note: Spend $150 at Saks on your Amex Platinum and get $50 back. That brings your cost to $100. If you can utilize the $75 promotional gift card, your $100 out of pocket can get you $225 in value from Saks. If you don't need anything from Saks, I would suggest buying products to donate.
Bonus: Get 15% cash back (or 15X Amex points) back when you use the Rakuten shopping portal. If you haven't signed up for Rakuten yet, your purchase will also get you $40 back (or 4,000 Amex points.
