We’re now seeing a new Amex Offers deal for one of my favorite companies for airport pickups, Blacklane.
In this post:
Save On Your Next Blacklane Ride With Amex Offers
At the moment there’s a new targeted Amex Offer for $20 back when you spend $100+ with Blacklane:
- You must spend $100 in a single transaction
- This is valid through August 13, 2020
- The purchase must be made in USD, EUR, GBP, NZD or SEK
Why I Like Blacklane
Tiffany first wrote about Blacklane in 2016, and I started using them in 2018. Blacklane essentially allows you to book a traditional high-end car service all over the globe online (or through their app).
The idea is that unlike with Lyft or Uber, you’re actually ordering a ride in advance, and if you’re being picked up at the airport they’ll be waiting for you in the arrivals hall.
I use Blacklane under very specific circumstances, and find them to be well worth it:
- If I’m arriving in a city where Lyft/Uber can’t do airport pick-ups, or where the logistics of being picked up are just too complicated
- If I’m arranging a transfer for my parents, since it just makes life so much easier
Obviously, Blacklane isn’t cheap, but I find it to be money well spent. When I land off a long haul flight, ordering a Blacklane assures I’ll have a driver who shows up on time, drives responsibly, and I’ll be able to work in the back seat, which often isn’t the case if you’re using a taxi.
Bottom Line
This new Amex Offers deal for Blacklane has the potential to be valuable. The catch is that you have to spend $100 in a single transaction to take advantage of this.
I’m sure this will come in handy for me at some point, especially as the promotion is valid for about six months.
Was your account targeted for this Amex Offer, and do you plan on taking advantage of it?
If you don’t yet have a Blacklane account you can receive a 20% discount on your first ride by using promotion code 6X6KHRHN during the booking process (this can be entered right after you enter credit card information). We receive a future discount as well, and appreciate the support!

I used Blacklane for the first time last summer in Berlin and was incredibly impressed with the service. Great driver. Thanks for the discount info!
Hi Lucky,
I received the offer in my AmEx Rewards, we have a trip to France coming up within the offer window. We're going to try to find a way to use the offer, not quite sure as yet.
JFK to midtown NYC $109
NYC to JFK $95
LAX to Marina del Rey $91
Marina del Rey to LAX $87
LAX to Universal City $141
Universal City to Beverley Hills $127
Beverley Hills to LAX. DID NOT TURN UP AND LEFT ME STRANDED. UBER BLACK CAME TO THE RESCUE.
I have an upgraded cab - not a Camry - booked from ORD to a Chicago suburb tomorrow having arrived from Heathrow. I just came across your article and checked the price with Blacklane. $134 vs $65. Plus tip.
Maybe next time when I'm with my girlfriend.
Can you give an example of the price to pick up your parents?
