American Express is offering some cardholders a credit of $75 on their bill if they make a purchase of $375 or more at Virgin America.
That amounts to a 20 percent discount on air travel!
You can check to see if you have been targeted for this offer by logging in to your American Express account and looking under the “Offers for You” tab. You must select the offer to apply it to your credit card account.
In my experience, credits on qualified “Offers for You” purchases post immediately to your account.
The offer runs through March 10, 2014.
