Read on our own American Express Blue Cash Everyday account on Monday, November 2, 2026. Amex Offers are targeted, so yours may be different or missing. Every term quoted here is Amex's own wording.
The short version: An Amex Offer on our Blue Cash Everyday, a card with no annual fee, pays a one-time $200 statement credit once qualifying purchases total $1,000 on flights from five Lufthansa Group airlines, booked through Amex Travel by November 22, 2026. Two rules decide whether the $200 arrives. The ticket has to be bought on AmexTravel.com or the Amex Travel app, not from the airline. And the flight has to be marketed by Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian, Brussels Airlines or Discover Airlines. At the $1,000 minimum, the credit is 20% of the fare.
From the offer terms on our card:
The terms tie the offer to the day the flights are paid for. They don't set a travel window.
Buying on the airline's own website or app is exactly what the terms rule out. The booking has to go through AmexTravel.com or the Amex Travel app, paid with the card that carries the offer.
Two things come with an Amex Travel booking:
The terms cover flights "marketed" by five airlines. The marketing airline is the one whose code is on the flight number:
| Airline | Flight number starts with |
|---|---|
| Lufthansa | LH |
| Swiss | LX |
| Austrian | OS |
| Brussels Airlines | SN |
| Discover Airlines | 4Y |
The same plane can fly under more than one flight number. A Lufthansa Group flight sold under a United or Air Canada number is marketed by United or Air Canada, which isn't one of the five in the terms. The flight number on each leg is the thing to check. Other Lufthansa Group airlines, Eurowings and Edelweiss among them, aren't in the list.
The credit is fixed at $200, so its share of the fare shrinks as the fare grows:
| Fare paid | $200 as a share of the fare |
|---|---|
| $1,000 | 20% |
| $1,250 | 16% |
| $1,600 | 12.5% |
| $2,000 | 10% |
The comparison that matters is the price for the same flights on the airline's own site. If Amex Travel shows the same fare, the $200 is a straight saving. If it shows more, the gap comes off the $200.
Ours sits on the Blue Cash Everyday, a card with no annual fee. For you, it may sit on another Amex card, or not appear at all.
If Zurich is the destination, our Swiss Half Fare Card guide covers the trains, and ten days in Europe on points walks through a whole trip, flights to hotels.
We have four more travel offers on our cards: a St. Regis stay, a Ritz-Carlton stay, an Etihad flight from the US, and an airline ticket bought directly from any airline. We'll cover them one at a time, each with Amex's own terms.
