AMEX Consumer Platinum cardholders can register here for $50 cash back on up to $50 of spending at Saks.com and Saks Fifth Avenue every January-June and $50 cash back every July-December.
You should always try to use these offers at least a few days before the deadline so that it has time to post to your account and trigger the credit before the 6/30 and 12/31 deadlines.

While the terms don’t officially allow for gift cards, you will get reimbursed for physical gift card purchases, based on my experience. Unfortunately, those are only sold for a minimum of $150 online, so you would effectively get a 33.3% discount on those. Online eGift cards won’t work.
However, you can buy $50 gift cards in Saks Fifth Avenue stores and those will be reimbursed in full based on my experience.
While this offer is not valid at Saks OFF 5TH, gift cards bought from Saks will work at both Saks and Saks OFF 5TH!

Would the Saks $50 credit work if I checkout with Paypal (to double dip) using my Platinum card?
Tried that last year and no, it didn’t credit. I had to talk to an Amex rep and they said its only if it is directly with Sak’s not via third party payment sites.
Platinum has a PayPal special now? I thought that was only on chase cards this quarter?
Great toy. LOL

Looking forward to the 45,000 points! lol
$50 credit really helps offset the cost
I am new to this card but did not see a signup to get this credit like I did for the dell $100 credit. Simply make the purchase at saks and it gets credited on the statement?
Click on the registration link in the post 🙂
Got a Braun Blender. I was able to get 10% off for creating an account. They cancelled my order twice in a row because “they couldn’t verify” according to the phone reps. But when I placed the order by phone, it went through and they shipped it. They always reissued the 10% off when I needed to place the order a second and third time.
t-shirt hoodie thing. $59. aka $9 dlvd!
Wait so if I purchase on 6/30, I won’t get the 1/1-6/30 credit since it won’t post for a few days?
You should. It goes based on charge date, not post date.
Hm.. I chatted them and got this:
“The charge post date is final the credit will be determined on the date the charge posts on your card…
So if you make a purchase today and the charge goes on to post in July then it will trigger the credit for the 2nd half of the year”
If i check out through shoprunner do I still get the amex credit?
@dan, perhaps you should remind everyone for this year again?
Try code SAKSSALE also
I called Amex & asked them how come I didn’t get my credits for a few of my purchases!
They said that Hudson Bay bought Saks a few yrs ago…and then, Saks.com was sold partially to some investors AND… they SEPARATED the website & Saks Off into a SEPARATE company so the credit doesn’t work with the website nor will they accept purchases of a gift certificate for the credit!
The problem is that the stuff that they have is very expensive, it’s hard to find anything useful for the $50 price range.
Buy gift cards in store until you have enough saved up?
You don’t have to buy in store….You can hack it by buying something online that costs $51.
Then after receiving you can process a return. When you process the return, it offers you the option to take a GIFT CARD instead of a refund to your credit card.
2 weeks later, they mail you the $51 Gift Card
That will cost you $9.95. Dont see anywhere that they waive the return fee if you take store credit vs back to original payment method.
40.05 gift card from the comfort of your own couch vs 50.00 gift card going to the store as Dan mentioned in the post.
Is this credit available only for the primary? or can each AU get $50 back too?
Can I spend $50, refund it to store credit, and use the credit for off fifth?
Yes — see above
I used it for jewelry
I bought around $50 worth with my & my wife’s platinum cards we weren’t satisfied with those items, (can’t get much with $50) so I started a return, it asked if we want gift cards credit or same payment refunded, I choose gift card, I will do the same in January, so hopefully I can get something decent for $200!!
Is return shipping free?
So weird. Amex approved and sent the card last week, just hours after the first charge on card was processed, cares was locked and they will only reopen if I send in a notarized paper, which kinda sucks since it won’t happen before 2023.
It seems like Saks is not part of shoprunner anymore so will have to spend $100 to get free shipping.
a bunch of ferragamo ties available for $78 so with $50 off thats $28
50$ online egiftcard worked for me… got reimbursed
When did you buy it?
Can you post (or email me) a screenshot of the charge and credit?
Pls let me know. Thx
Do they still reimburse if the item is less then $50?
Yes
My gift card purchases credits were clawed.
Did you close your card?
no
Returned?
Been buying GCs in store for years and never had a clawback.
Anyone try e-gift card for $50 that gets emailed?
??
Any update of getting credit on e gift card?
Can anyone advise how to actually enroll in this Saks credit? When I click on the link in this post to “register here, AmEx logs me out of my account, I log back in and cannot find anywhere in my Amex account to enroll/register for this credit. When I search “saks” in my Amex, nothing comes up.
Which exact card do you have?
Amex Business Platinum
That’s not eligible.
Ok got it. TYVM!
I didn’t register. Never did register in the past.
Is it something new that I need to register?
What can I do now that I already made the purchase?
$50.00 at Saks. So weird. But I still have a personal Plat card. Now they charge shipping. I usually buy Bombas socks. They are very good and very durable.
I’m trying to use my platinum card for the saks gift card via email. Sent to a friend option. However error code is appearing.
Does this work for multiple cards on the same account?
What to do of I am over my limit and amex won’t approve any charges?
Make A payment, and buy what you want and then cancel the Payment.
Not a bad idea but it can raise a flag with amex.
Ridiculous; costed $10 to ship an item. The items too big so I have to exchange it but they don’t do changes so now I have to return it which is going to cost me another $10 and then I’m buying a new one which is going to cost me another $10… Anyone else to deal with something like this? Am I crazy for thinking this is so weird?
Yes, Ridiculous and the requirement for free shipping is getting higher and higher (Maybe that’s their strategy to get ppl to open their CC).
At least You can buy a little more than $50 in one order now.
Fifty dollars will not buy much. Bought three overpriced coffee mugs.
can go to store and return for a gift card? time returns accetpted?
Can I get a gift card from saks off fifth?
Amex reversed my credit because it was used to purchase a gift card.
“gift card is not a eligible charge and that is the reason your credit is reversed. Hope that helps and does not need further investigation.”
How did you buy the gift card?
Been doing that forever and never had an issue.
In store.
And it was 6 months later. I initially chatted with them and they said they will investigate what the charge is as it was unauthorized. than they said i returned the item hence the reversal. so i declined that. today when i followed up the answer was that it was a gift card purchase and they do periodic reviews and reverse any gift card purchase. i tried chatting but they refused to do anything other than send me the rules associated with the benefit.
Could it be that they are raising prices towards the end of the year?
Guys makes sure item get shipped before 12/31 and charges are posted by then, otherwise this credit will go into next year’s 50$.
