I’ve received most of the other wine offers mentioned but have not the Wine Access offer yet. That’s okay, as I hardly need another excuse to buy more right now! Though if higher tariffs go through I’ll be happy to have bought heavily so far this year.
There is a portal called Amex Offers. They’ll put in ~100 “offers” that you can click to enable. Some people click on everything, because they think that you will eventually get more offers and/or get the most bang for your buck. I subscribe to the look and only click on ones you want. Some of the T&C say things like you agree to share purchase data etc etc w/vendor and I’m just not that comfortable for something that is not tangible for me.
I would say find a card you like … (and if it has a referral offer that is the same as the public offer use a referral, preferraly mine ) and use it for a while and check back monthly for amex offers.
my consumer cards did have Vinfolio, First Bottle, Benchmark, etc. They don’t usually offer the same offer to the same person on multiple cards, so maybe i click and activated the wine/wineaccess on my blue business first and thus it didn’t appear on my consumer cards. (2x MR beats everything else they offer.)
Ridge Lytton is back on wine access for $40 pre discounts. Four bottles for $27 each using a referral, my link is below. If you have an Amex offer for $50 off $150 it’s even sweeter, $20 each when you order 5 bottles.

My referral link, $50 off your first order of $150 or more
I know this forum doesn’t like Orin Swift, but WineAccess has Papillon for $65.
Using the referral discount (Friendbuy - Forwarding To Destination) of $50 off $150 and buying 3 bottles, should get your AMEX bill to right around $155 depending on the state. So $35/each after tax for 3 bottles.
Speaking of Diamond Creek these days… 2016 Diamond Creek Red Rock Terrace and Volcanic Hill are $250 before any discounts, so 150 after referral and amex offer. I suppose if you haven’t used any of the amex offer, you could get 1 of each for 300 too.
2014 Sociando-Mallet@$40 for 6: 2014 Château Sociando-Mallet Haut-Médoc
You could buy a six pack, and with tax on top, get it for 150 after referral and amex offer, which puts you at 25 each all-in.
Signed up for a Blue Cash Preferred - Seemed to have the best intro offer for me. They wouldn’t honor the 100,000 Hilton points offer they made to my wife (the offer for me was 75,000 via Amex’s site and 80,000 via Hilton’s), so I’ll have her sign up for that one separately.
On my Blue, the Benchmark offer is listed, along with Wine Country Gift Baskets and a winery I’ve never heard of, but not Wine Access.
I went ahead and added all three of those in the hopes that will give them a hint.
Looks like it sold out so it’s gone from the site, but you can still access it via direct link. If you try to add the wine to your card though, it will give you an error.
