Summary

What began as a narrow request for one-tap enrollment exposed a larger opportunity to improve how customers browsed and managed Amex Offers. I led the design of a reusable interaction that let customers add an offer directly from the list while preserving access to required legal terms. The team shipped within a year-end engineering deadline, and mobile offer enrollments were up 533% year over year one year after release.

Challenge

Remove enrollment friction while preserving one-tap access to legal terms and shipping within the existing technical and timeline constraints.

Outcome

  • +533%Year-over-year growth in mobile offer enrollments one year after release.

My Contribution

  • Expanded a tactical enrollment request into a broader browse-and-manage product vision.
  • Created a reusable interaction that reduced enrollment to one tap while meeting legal requirements.

Before

I began by auditing the existing experience to:

  1. Understand how one-tap enrollment would affect the existing enrollment flow
  2. Influence the product strategy toward improving the existing experience

Detail View Before & After

Previous users had to navigate to a detail page to add offers. In addition to one-tap enrollment, I took the opportunity to redesign the detail page with better hierarchy and usability.
