American Express Flights
Last week I discovered an amazing American Express Flights Platinum benefit that saved me about 75% on the price of a business class ticket and then I got to thinking about all the other ways I have crushed airfare bookings over the years thanks to American Express.

Amex Offer Airline Savings
These deals are my absolute favorite, because I get all the credit for the spend and if the offers is available on the Amex Platinum, Gold or Green Cards you also get bonus points. Currently there’s a very generous offer for Delta whereby you spend $300 and get $120 back. In the past we’ve seen many valuable offers for airfare including Jetblue, Air France and Qantas.
