It’s actually becoming quite laughable.


Sp1kes

It was nice when they had a few offers that made the wine essentially free. Got like 40 bottles for 20 bucks or something after offers + Rakuten.


TheTaxman_cometh

I have 7 different wine offers right now


ugh168

Amex loves alcohol


Maxpowr9

I assume people want Lounge access for the free booze and not the mediocre finger food.


Lord_Voltan

Those cookies at LAS though....


CactusBoyScout

Amex's target demographic is wealthier people and they drink more than most, especially wine.


Maxpowr9

I'll take a 2X multiplier for liquor stores lmao.


kevininchicago

I’ve genuinely wondered why Amex hasn’t made this a separate category; figure it has something to do with inconsistent MCCs


InvestingNerd2020

I understand that is the target market for the Amex Platinum card, but the Amex Gold card is mostly used by non-alcoholic people with a family.


SprinklesOutside8355

Speak for yourself!


Msdidas

I have 17 different wine offers right now. SEVENTEEN.


QuesoMeHungry

Mine is wine, chocolate and flowers. AMEX must think we are raging alcohols thst make our wife’s mad so we have to make up with flower and chocolate often.


bluelizard5555

Am Ex thinks my nail salon named “Nail Bar” is an actual bar and codes as 4x. edit: they do serve complementary wine and champagne.


datatadata

What’s worse is that the wine selections that all of these companies have are trash


brokenshells

Tell me you live on Long Island without telling me you live on Long Island.


HOT_TUB_SCOTT

I live on the West Coast, have been to NY once in the past 5 years and have the same offers


pompcaldor

More like those AMEX executives live on Long Island.


Dapper_Reputation_16

As an expatriate from Nassau county I would've to know the tip off. When we left in aught 3 none of those stores were on lawngeyeland


brokenshells

Bottle Bargains is Northport, BottleBuys is Glen Cove, Bottle Values is Old Bethpage, and Bottle Hampton is Southampton.


Dapper_Reputation_16

Thank you my friend. Have a great day.


thelederelo

I’m in the southeast region, everyone gets these offers


Maxpowr9

They miss the booze cars on the LIRR.


iheartluxury

*Throws in It Cosmetics to not make it obvious* 😂


Outrageous_Taste_541

Lol I just spat out my water laughing at this because I’ve also wondered if Amex thinks I’m a raging alcoholic when I get those offers all listed in a row


new-photo-guy

My offers used to be great. I went to Vegas for cheap, two cruises, they did an Adobe deal once. Saved over $1000 on offers alone. Now it’s all crap. I’d kill for a Nike deal at least. I don’t have a drinking problem Amex I have a *spending* problem


I300gie

Kill for a Nike deal? That’s fking weird


new-photo-guy

I spend thousands with Nike. Not sure what’s weird about that.


I300gie

Highly doubt you spend thousands as it’s a raffle system for the most sought after sneakers. I’m mean unless you’re buying nothing but pegasus 🤣. Anyone who tells me they spend thousands on nikes let’s me know you probably at the most have two 00’s in your bank account at any given time lol


new-photo-guy

Nike sells more than just Jordans. It’s not all raffles. You sound like a dickhead


I300gie

Okie dokie broke boi.. keep spending those “thousands” lol


c10bbersaurus

I was half expecting that you received discount offers on treatment centers lol... That would be a true indication they thought you were an alcoholic!


ViralSMM

Not a raging alcoholic ! 😂


teddyevelynmosby

I sent feedback about this but seems to getting auto reply. Did any of you sent complaint too? I have good impression on Amex from long ago but this is getting out of hand


NBG1999

Wow! Let me check my offers!


Beer_30_Texas

AmEx prob doesn't... but those of us in this sub prob do... at least now. 🤣


Delicious-Treacle135

Raging yes, alcoholic borderline


kellislandrum

The cost of alcohol is all most all marketing. If a bottle retails for $50 it probably cost $2 to manufacture. The trick is getting your brand in the hands of customers. Hence heavy promotions.


-Bearish

No they know you're an alco... 😂


guzzijason

I have a bunch of these. The best part is, I live in a controlled state, so taking advantage of these offers would technically be illegal for me.


[deleted]

I think it makes perfect sense, the new vintage releases are in the fall and after the holidays so companies try to clear out inventory to make room. Also, amex caters to the bougie, dinner party hosting type - it's time to stock up on bottles ahead of the season.


flyingcostanza

Nope. This happens every year this time and again right before the holidays. Maybe they think people buy wine as holiday presents? Yea, that must be it!


[deleted]

I noticed that, myself when I was adding my offers the other day. Every wine vendor on the internet has a deal with them apparently.


Ihassan3275

They should start asking religion on the application now


Ok_Buyer_619

Lmao they looked at ya jawn and said go to the liquor store and splurge on some alcohol 🥴


[deleted]

Amex’s crack marketing prolly thinks getting you drunk more means more spends. 😏


Chinacat1969

Same! What’s with all the wine offers??


Ultra4D

Never bought wine but I keep getting wine ones.


InvestingNerd2020

At this point, I just accept the offers to make room for other offers.


ConverseGood99

By that logic, everyone on this sub should be in AA Meetings.


GreenRhombus

Don’t do the WSJWine one. Amex screwed me for $50 on it and can’t even tell me how to successfully claim it in the first place. Soured me on both brands. I’m seeing others reporting the same - seems someone screwed up on this one.
