How not to lose it
- Treat each month as use-it-or-lose-it. A reminder in the last week of the month catches most misses.
- If this covers a recurring subscription, billing that subscription to this card uses the credit every month without thinking about it.
- Don’t wait for the last day. Statement credits can take days to post, and a purchase that settles after the window closes may not count.
- Pay with the Amex EveryDay Preferred. The credit only follows purchases charged to the card that carries it.
