Do you have The Platinum Card® from American Express in your wallet?

For example, Platinum cardholders get up to $100 in Saks Fifth Avenue credits every calendar year: $50 from January to June and another $50 in the second half of the year (enrollment required).
As we approach the final days of June, this also means your $50 Saks credit for the first half of the year will expire soon. While you can put your credit toward more expensive items (such as footwear, clothing or luggage), it’s definitely possible to find items that are $50 or less. In this guide, we’ve pulled together 10 of our favorite Saks items available right now for under $50, available online or in stores. Of course, you can also use the credit toward more expensive items sold in stores or online.
To make the deal even sweeter, don’t forget to shop on Saks via an online shopping portal to double dip and earn points on your online purchase. Presently, JetBlue Airways offers 3 points per dollar spent at Saks while American Airlines is offering 2 points per dollar spent at Saks. These offers can change quickly, so it’s worth checking out your favorite portal. If you’d rather use the portal with the best offer, check out Saks on Cashback Monitor to find out where you’ll get the most bonus points.

Below, you’ll find 10 items you can buy with your Saks Amex Platinum $50 credit. And as a bonus, you can even get free shipping with your Amex Platinum ShopRunner benefit! Enrollment required.
