This is your full guide on how to maximize the new American Express Resi credit. At Dan's Deals, we've been teaching millions of people how to maximize their credit card points and miles for the past 21 years. So, be sure to follow us for more videos like this. American Express recently introduced a brand new $400 per year resi credit, which is divided four times per year, meaning $100 every quarter. The first thing you're going to have to do is log into your American Express account and enroll in this new benefit. You only have to do this one time. Now that you're enrolled, all you have to do is spend money at a resi restaurant. You do not have to have a resi account. You do not have to make a reservation via resi. In fact, you don't even necessarily have to go to a resi restaurant. And this is where it gets really interesting. Traditionally, the easiest way to use this credit would be to go to any resi restaurant, which you find on their app or website, and spend on your bill. Pay however you want. Apple Pay, it doesn't matter. As long as it's going on your American Express Platinum card, the credit will register to your account, and you'll be refunded $100 per quarter. But the fun part is you can actually do this with gift cards as well. So if you go into a restaurant, you buy a $100 gift card, that will be credited. The big question everybody wants to know about is, can you even do this online without having to leave your house? And the answer is yes, you can. The trick is that it has to show up on your credit card bill as coming from the restaurant. So if they're using a service like Toast, it will come from the restaurant directly. But if they're using someone like Cash Start to sell gift cards, it will not work. My method is buy a $1 gift card or a $5 gift card to your favorite restaurant and then see how it bills. If it bills from the restaurant's name, you're golden. Buy the rest of it and do that every single quarter and save up $400 in gift cards per year to your favorite restaurant. I've been able to negotiate with some of my favorite restaurants where I'll actually have them top off my gift card with $110 or $120 for every gift card that I'm buying. So, for example, Wall Street Grill in New York City is offering a $120 gift card for a h 100 bucks. So, that means you're going to get $480 in gift cards every single year with your $400 credit. That is pretty sweet.
