The Offer
Links seem to be unique this time, check your regular mail & e-mail to see if you’ve been targeted (share any subject lines of e-mails in the comments below). One subjectline is ‘
- American Express are currently offering selected charge cardholders 10,000 points when they enroll Extended Payment Option
The Fine Print
- Email subject line is ‘You Qualify for a Flexible Payment Option’. People also being targeted via snail mail.
- Another: Congratulations, <name>! You’ve Been Selected to Enroll in a Flexible Payment Option
Our Verdict
Fingers crossed we get a generic link to see if you are targeted or not. This is a fairly common offer, it’s not worth enrolling without this 10,000 bonus (sometimes they offer an interest free period but I’d wait for this offer). You should (hopefully) be paying off your credit card balance in full every month anyway. If you have any questions about Pay Over Time (e.g hard/soft pull) I’d recommend reading through our F.A.Q on the topic found here. You don’t actually need to use the pay over time feature to get the 10,000 bonus points, you must simply enroll in it. The short of it is that it’s definitely worth doing if you’re targeted, just don’t actually use the feature and pay all of your credit card bills in full and on time.
