By How it works
Enroll first. Then the Gold pays back up to $7 a month when you pay at U.S. Dunkin' locations or through the Dunkin' app.
It's a statement credit after the charge. The $7 resets each calendar month and doesn't roll over.
Charges on additional cards count toward the same $7.
What it looks like when it works
- The Dunkin' charge, then a separate statement credit from Amex for up to $7.
How long it takes
Usually within a few days of the charge. Amex allows up to 8 weeks.
Why it didn’t post
Enrollment is required. Enroll in the Benefits section of your Amex account or by phone.
A Dunkin' inside an airport or gas station, or a pop-up, may not be recognized. Use a regular Dunkin' shop or the Dunkin' app.
Orders through a delivery app or a caterer aren't made directly with Dunkin', so they may not count.
Dunkin' gift cards bought online, and Dunkin' coffee or other products sold at grocery or other stores, don't count.
Purchases made with an electronic wallet, through a third party such as an app store, or on a handheld card reader may not be credited. Pay with the card itself.
The limit is $7 per account each month, including purchases on additional cards.
Classic, Traditional and Senior Gold cards don't get this credit.
Amex uses the date Dunkin' processes the charge. A purchase on the last day of a month can count toward the next month.
What doesn’t count
- Dunkin' gift cards bought online
- Dunkin' coffee and other products bought at grocery or other stores
- Orders through delivery apps or caterers
- Dunkin' shops inside airports, gas stations or pop-ups (often not recognized)
- Locations outside the U.S. or shops that don't take Amex
Still missing? Do this
- Check the Benefits section of your Amex account to confirm you're enrolled.
- Check that you paid a regular U.S. Dunkin' shop or the Dunkin' app with your Gold Card, not through a delivery app.
- Wait a few days. Amex allows up to 8 weeks.
- If nothing after 8 weeks, call the number on the back of your card or chat with Amex. Name the Dunkin' Credit and give the charge date and amount.
Cards with this credit
- Amex Gold American Express
Questions people ask
Does the Dunkin' app count?
Yes. Amex says purchases through the Dunkin' app count when you pay with your enrolled Gold Card.
Can I split the $7 over several visits?
Yes. The limit is $7 a month in total, so smaller purchases add up until you reach it.
Do my authorized users' purchases count?
Yes. Purchases on additional cards count toward the same $7 a month.
Check a whole statement at once. Premium Finance, our free app, reads the statement PDF or CSV you download from your bank (on your phone, nothing is uploaded) and shows which credits posted, then reminds you before the rest run out. Open the app or try it with a sample wallet.
