The latest Amex Offer isn’t a very lucrative one, but it’s one which should have widespread appeal. When you spend $25 or more at any Exxon or Mobil-branded gas station using your enrolled American Express card, you’ll receive a one-time $5 statement credit. This offer is valid through September 30, 2015, but enrollment is limited.
