Amex Platinum Cardholders Have Days Left to Utilize Remaining Lululemon Credit
American Express Platinum cardholders have less than a week to maximize a newly added perk: up to $300 annually in Lululemon credit, distributed as $75 quarterly. The benefit, launched earlier this year, is designed to incentivize card usage and provide value to Platinum members, but the first quarterly credit expires at the end of September.
This benefit applies to purchases made at Lululemon stores and online, and crucially, cardholders can utilize the credit towards the purchase of Lululemon gift cards - both physical and e-gift cards – effectively allowing them to save the credit for future purchases.However, recent reports suggest benefit tracking updates may be delayed, and cardholders should act quickly to ensure the credit is applied before the quarterly deadline.
The Amex Platinum Lululemon benefit works by requiring cardholders to enroll through their American Express account. Once enrolled, eligible purchases will automatically receive statement credits.While direct purchases are the primary method, utilizing the credit for gift cards provides versatility for larger, future purchases or gifting.
If a purchase isn’t instantly reflected in the benefit tracker, cardholders still have a short window to make a qualifying purchase before the credit is forfeited. As a backup, purchasing items with the intention of returning them for store credit – rather than a refund – can also secure the benefit, though this is a less convenient option.
The annual $300 Lululemon credit is broken down into quarterly increments of $75, expiring at the end of each quarter. With september drawing to a close, cardholders should verify their benefit usage and make any necessary purchases to avoid losing the remaining $75 credit for this quarter.
