Current Amex transfer bonuses
AwardTool has not read a Amex transfer bonus on an official public page.
AwardTool lists a transfer bonus only after reading it on the bank's or the program's own public page. Several banks show bonuses only to signed-in cardholders, so a bonus can be running without a row here: check your card account before you transfer. Transfers cannot be reversed.

How AwardTool checks Amex transfer news
Every item on this page was read on an official page: the card issuer's or the loyalty program's own site, or an archived copy of one for a past event. Each row links that page and gives the day AwardTool checked it. Reports from blogs and forums are used only as leads and are never listed on their own.
A bonus leaves the current list by itself once its end date has passed; a bonus without an end date is listed for 14 days after its last check.
