American Express has got a fantastic new promotion going on called "
The Gift Chain," designed to give you an incentive to use your American Express cards online during the gift-buying season.
Register your American Express card at The Gift Chain's site, and then use it online at one of the retailers listed below. For every $25 you spend online at a specific retailer using your registered AmEx from 11/28/11-12/21/11, you will receive a gift. Gift values range from $2 to $500. It could be a statement credit, a gift card, a year of ShopRunner free shipping or dozens of other gifts. One cardholder may receive up to ten gifts. This promotion is open to the first 250,000 to register, so don't wait.
Here are the eligible online retailers:
- American Eagle Outfitters
- Bed Bath & Beyond
- Blue Nile
- Dell
- GameStop
- J.Crew
- Lenovo
- Neiman Marcus
- Nike
- Pottery Barn
- REI
- Rue La La
- Toys”R”Us
- vente-privee
- WalMart
- YoYo.com
- Zappos
If I don't find myself shopping online at these retailers during this time period, I think I'm going to buy gift cards online in $25 denominations at the retailers that I absolutely know I will use in the future (like Walmart and BB&B). First I'm going to doublecheck to see that gift card purchases are not excluded. I don't see any downside to registering for this (unless you don't like free stuff).
