This year has been a good one for American Express cardholders taking advantage of their cashback offers.
I've been tracking how much I have 'earned' over the past year and my count is $1025.
How much did you get back?
How much did you 'earn' in American Express cashbacks this year?

Maybe you should ask how much did you lose to reflect the fact that you lost money rather than earn as that is a word usually applied to gains rather than losses.
spent a fortune on vpay fees 😉
I spent the money / mostly dined on the things which I never wanted in first place..
Is it JV, who earned the $10000 above?

Better question would be, how much more unnecessary spending did you make to earn $10000 back…
Only got my card in August, probably 'earned' around $750 so far. Definitely buying things I wouldn't have otherwise bought, but have no regrets about it.
Edit
Definitely have been spending more than I would normally. But some deals are just too good to pass up.
Some from recent memory:
The Woolworths Amex deal + Cashrewards + Woolworths 5% discount code.
House Click Frenzy 40% off code + Cashrewards + Amex Online retailer Spend $60 get $30 back deal.I did have some misses with the Shop small deal, where I ate at the restaurant, then later found out the retaurant doesn't accept Amex.
IN the $100-$500 range, but I'm new to AMEX deals. Plan to get a few more cards in 2017 and hit that $10,000 GOD MODE tier.
I don't track it, but I guess it would be in the $250-$500 range. $200 just from HN $100 off $300 purchases with 2 AmEx cards. Used shop small probably 10 times? So another $100. Woolworths offers $20 twice = $40. End of year offer $50. $10 mobile wallets offer. Forgot the other ones.
Used the Hilton, Marriott and Accor hotel cashbacks on 2 cards $800), Body Shop, Westfield gift cards, $80 shop small, $30 online at House and a few others. Over $1000 I'd say.
