Aman Resorts: New Restrictions for Gift Card 20% Bonus Offer

Update: The 20% bonus may only be redeemed at select Aman resorts, see below. Shame on Aman for so drastically restricting the 20% bonus to be valid for only 12 months and only at a few Aman resorts, and changing the terms after already launching the offer.

Aman Resorts is Offering a 20% Bonus for Buying Gift Cards, which could be a good way to save on a future Aman resort stay, although see newly added restrictions below.

20% bonus offer is valid for Aman gift card purchases prior to July 31, 2020. Note that while the regular gift card funds can be redeemed at any Aman resort outside of China, there are significant restrictions on the resorts the 20% bonus may be redeemed at.
Buy or gift a $500 gift card, and receive an additional $100 bonus e-gift card
Buy or gift a $1000 gift card, and receive an additional $200 bonus e-gift card
Gift cards may be purchase in any whole dollar amount from $10-$10,000
The regular Gift card funds (not the 20% bonus) are valid for 3 years from the date of issue, and may be used for stays, dining, and spa experiences at any Aman worldwide except for Aman resorts in China.

Newly Added Restrictions for the 20% Bonus

The 20% bonus amount is only valid for 12 months from the date of issue, so until July 2021
The 20% bonus amount is only valid at the following Aman resorts: Amankora, Amansara, Aman Villas at Nusa Dua, Amandari, Amankila, Amanjiwo, Amanbagh, Aman-i-khas, Amantaka, Amangalla, Amanwella, Amanpulo, Amanpuri, Amanjena.

While the 20% bonus amount is valid at several of our and our clients' favorite Aman resorts worldwide, such as Amanpulo Amanjiwo, Amankila and Amanbagh, these resorts are a long way to travel for U.S. based visitors, and with entry restrictions and flight schedules in flux due to the pandemic, it's hard to be able to count on being able to redeem that 20% bonus amount within 12 months, making the entire offer of doubtful value for many U.S. based Aman junkies.
