Bottom line

American Express offers valuable travel rewards and cash-back credit cards to consumers and business owners and is adding even more opportunities to save money with Member Week. Even non-cardholders can enjoy some of this year's Member Week offerings, including access to a virtual performance by Olivia Rodrigo.

However, before participating in any of these promotions, be sure you're not overspending just to earn a discount or credit card rewards. Using a budget can help you ensure that you aren't spending outside of your means or deter you from accomplishing your financial goals.
