Rewards cards have been put to the test during the pandemic, given how much consumer behavior has changed. In this post I wanted to focus on a card that has not only maintained its value, but that I’d argue has actually become even more lucrative.
Temporary American Express Card Perks For 2021
It can be hard to keep track of all of the limited time perks being offered by Amex cards, given that they come in different forms — some don’t require registration, some are available through Amex Offers, and some are targeted.

Hope you are well and I enjoy following your blog; reading through your previous travel reviews etc. About a year ago the pandemic began to spread so, hopefully by Feburary 2022 the pandemic will have faded away (like how the Spanish Flu eventually faded away a century ago); like most of us frequent flyers, over the years you must also have more memorable flights and more favourite airports; wishing you a pleasant week ahead: take care
what a week it has been!
