American Express does not operate a classic click-through portal — there is no Amex equivalent of the Chase Shopping Portal or AAdvantage eShopping where you start your session and earn a fixed number of points per dollar at a listed merchant. What Amex offers instead is <a href="https://www.americanexpress.com/en-us/benefits/offers/">Amex Offers</a>, a card-linked promotional system that delivers account-specific deals, and an integration with <a href="https://www.rakuten.com">Rakuten</a> that lets eligible Membership Rewards cardholders receive their Rakuten earnings as MR points rather than cash back. Neither mechanism is visible at checkout — both require setup before the order — and that invisibility is why the majority of Amex cardholders leave both layers on the table on every catalog purchase.</p>
