Why you should be using the Amex Offers map feature
Raise your hand if you've got an Amex card. Now keep it raised if you've taken advantage of ever-popular Amex Offers, the limited-time promotions that give you discounts on purchases, bonus points for spend and sometimes even cash back.
While I'd like to say I'm a huge proponent (it is, after all, free money), oftentimes I find myself missing out simply because I'm not aware there's an offer available.
That's where the Amex Offers interactive map comes in, which uses your location to show you nearby offers. The app version even includes additional offers not available via desktop.
The map is not limited to your current location, either. Once on the map, you can scroll around the world to see any current offers available anywhere. This can be especially handy if you're traveling in the near future and want to see what you can get in, say, New York:

Click the map, and the page will load to show all current offers near you. It's as simple as that!
