A new Amex Offer popped up and I wanted to bring it to your attention — though it’s certainly not for everyone.
First: I’m not a certified financial advisor, financial planner, accountant, tax professional, etc. (Certifiable? Some people could make a good case for that 🙂 )
A couple of years ago, a Motley Fool Amex Offer showed up. It offered a $99 statement credit for a one-year $99 subscription purchase to Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor service.
That amounted to 99 free points and a free year of Stock Advisor. Plus, I know people who’ve done very well using Motley Fool’s advice. So, I bit.
I’ve since kept the Motley Fool subscription live. Why? Their stock recommendations have been great. I’ve earned a little more than a grand from their stock advice. (Only once did they steer me wrong — but it didn’t kill me.) And that’s just from their basic, rookie stock recommendations. (They have some pretty good dividend recommendations, BTW. At least, I think so.)
There’s new Motley Fool Amex Offer: get a one-time $150 statement credit after using your eligible card to make a single subscription purchase of $499 or more online at Fool.com/amex. The offer expires on May 8, 2023. Terms apply and manual enrollment is required.
That’s certainly higher than what I paid back in 2021. But you’ll likely get much better service and content. So, if you’ve been kicking the tires on getting a Motley Fool subscription, this could be a good opportunity.
Investing in the stock market isn’t for everyone. If you don’t know what you’re doing, this probably isn’t the offer for you. (For my major investment accounts — i.e., Roth, etc., I use a great CFP — contact me if you want his details.). But if you dabble here and there, it’s something you may be interested in. (For what it’s worth, I really like the Investing tool on my SoFi app.)

I got in on the MF AMEX offer back then, too, but washed it through, Swagbucks, I think, and actually made $80. Took awhile, MF didn’t seem to want to pay up, but they eventually did.
I do not have that offer for my Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card. I have a different Motley Fool offer:
Spend $99 or more, get $50 back
The Motley Fool

I also have this offer from Morningstar:
Spend $249 or more, get $50 back
Morningstar Investor – Research and Tools for Investors

I used the same offer previously and followed the MF leads and it cost me thousands. I don’t have the best of feelings regarding their services.
Same. Motley fool suggestions were the worst. Lost 5 grand.
I also subscribed after the Amex offer. I then created an entire M1 Finance portfolio of just their recommendations. It’s down huge.
Motley fool lost a lot of people a lot of money in 2022. Their recommendations were most of the FOMO stocks and SPACs that are now down 80-90%. $SKLZ, anyone?
There is another offer for 50$ off 99$ spend – 49$ a yr – may be ok for those who can afford it
But MF is not really any better than buying a subscriptionsot Barrons or WSJ
more info, please
I subscribed to Motley Fool because of an Amex offer, took some of their stock market advice, invested in some of the stocks, and the stocks were winners.
Stop this shilling Chris. You’re gonna cause your readers to lose a ton of money. This is grossly irresponsible.
Based on your previous comment, Andy, it seems you simply enjoy harassing travel-points/miles-lifestyle bloggers. So, it’s hard to take you seriously. But I have a minute, so I’ll play along.
I’m not shilling it. I don’t make a dime off Motley Fool referrals. I explicitly note in the post that the offer isn’t for everyone. I simply pass along something that worked for me.
(I better end there. I’d hate to keep you from the next blog on your list.)
What previous comments? Link them for me? You’re either getting me confused with someone else or yet again being dishonest.
You absolutely are shilling. Using an amex offer on MF is not ‘making 1000s off an Amex offer.’ Don’t play dumb. You are going to cost people a lot of money. MF is a trash rag that takes money from corporations to pump their stocks.
“Wow, a CC hustle blog shilling for Motley Fool.”
I’m not being dishonest. I’m not investing anyone else’s money — therefore, I’m not losing anyone else’s money. People are capable of making their own decisions. And, again, I’m not shilling. But if you’re dead set on thinking I am and that I’m the boogeyman, go right ahead. I’m amazed — and flattered – you spend so much of your time being mad at me. Life’s too short.
Please – Be wary of Motley Fool . I bought 15 of their recomendations and the total portfolio is down 77% when Spy is down 20%
They live up to there name, there total fools! They suggested a pharmaceutical company and even as it went down they said it would rebound and it went bankrupt! Lost $4500, there idiots!!!
If you don’t have a financial securities license, then you really shouldn’t be recommending people to trade single stocks, even if it worked out for you during a certain period, Chris. It’s highly irresponsible.
Most investors, including you, made money in the boom years of low interest rates. If someone follows your advice of using MF to pick and trade individual stocks in today’s market, they’re most likely going to get burned.
You really should consider deleting this.
Where in the post do I recommend that people trade stocks?
Where do I recommend Motley Fool?
I simply wrote about something that worked for me and passed along the information.
When you read the article, you’ll notice that I say this isn’t for everyone.
Oh please Chris, spare us. You have a commercial platform in the form of this enterprise eyeoftheflyer.com and choose what you do and don’t publish. We’re all adults and we can see past wishy-washy dissembling. You chose to write about Motley Fool. You chose the clickbait title. As a writer, do you honestly believe there’s no connotation in your glowing praise for MF? All professional securities writers have a disclaimer at the end of their articles, even redditors on wallstreetbets add one to their posts. What you’re doing is, at best, disingenuous, especially after your comment.
I’d frankly call Motley Fool a scam. It may once have been a legit service, but when I briefly tried a paid subscription last year, I was stunned at how spammy, frequent, and desperate their upsell emails were. I’ve seen more restraint and professionalism from Big Al’s Discount Used Car Lot.
Wow, a CC hustle blog shilling for Motley Fool. Now I’ve seen it all.
FOR ANYONE READING THIS, MOTLEY FOOL IS GARBAGE. MORE THAN GARBAGE, IT’S A SCAM. THERE IS NO REAL ANALYSIS DONE BY THEM. THEY PUMP AND DUMP AND HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO TAKE MONEY FROM COMPANIES TO PUMP THEIR STOCK!!!
I agree click bait. Saying “made a thousand” and a picture of hundreds of $ thousands. And this is clearly a promo for MF – or why else have it? The $$ you indicate you made was not from the AMEX Offer.
Not a promo for Motley Fool. Sharing something that helped me that I thought may interest some others.
Clickbait is blatantly misleading stuff like, “Netflix cancelled these shows!” while showing an image of a show that wasn’t cancelled. (That’s an example I literally saw 10 minutes ago — and new darn well Netflix didn’t cancel Wednesday, even though they showed a picture of Jenny Ortega, who plays the titular character.) But so many people love crying “click bait!” about posts they don’t like or disagree with.
