Two new Amex Offers for airline purchases are showing up on some cards. One gives a $250 statement credit when you spend $2,500 or more with Air France or KLM by December 15, 2026. The other gives a $200 statement credit when you spend $1,000 or more with Etihad by December 31, 2026. Both are targeted, so you may not see either one. Check each of your Amex cards, because an offer can appear on one card and not another.

Why These Offers Matter
For Air France-KLM, you don't have to fly by December 15. You only need to complete the purchase by then. For Etihad, the purchase must be made by December 31. Our Flying Blue miles guide covers the loyalty program that Air France and KLM share, if you're weighing cash against miles for a trip.
Who Should Use Them
Use an offer only if you were already planning to book that airline. Don't spend more to reach the minimum. If you hold more than one Amex card and see the offer on several, pick the card that earns the most on airfare for the purchase.
