Some of you have written to me with questions on how to confirm your bank account with American Express. Here's the story:
When you buy a $200 prepaid American Express card using your checking account, American Express will simultaneously put two tiny deposits and one tiny withdrawal through your checking account (the amounts will zero out). This is just to confirm that it is indeed your checking account. When you see these amounts showing up on your accout, go to http://www.AmericanExpress.com/prepaid, log in and enter the two deposit amounts. Once you do that, your prepaid card order will go through on your checking account, and you should receive your cards shortly after that.
Remember, this is an incredibly easy deal that expires at the end of June, and American Express is a secure, very established company, and they don't put out deals like this too often.
That's it. Awesome.
The American Express pre-paid card spends just like cash wherever regular American Express cards are accepted, with no fees. You even get the fraud protection and roadside assistance programs of regular American Express memberships. There are no annual fees, no monthly fees, no customer service fees, no credit checks to get it (though you will need to enter your social security number), no overdraft fees (you spend what you load on the card), no transaction fees, and you even get one free ATM withdrawal per month (after one withdrawal, you'll be charged $2 for each one).
To me, this is a no-brainer easy $50 for the inconvenience of moving around $400. I'm getting one card for myself and one for my husband. This costs nothing to do, as I will just use the pre-paid cards the same way I use my regular American Express cards, or just withdraw the cash. (The two $25 gift cards will go directly into our iPad savings fund.)
When you use the $200 prepaid cards, make sure you leave at least $1 on each card, as the cards need to be active when you receive the bonus gift cards. If you've already taken out all the money, simply go online and put another $10 on the card and keep it there until you receive the $25 gift card.
The special $25 gift card offer ends 6/30/12. You do not need to already have a American Express card to qualify for this offer. Limit one $25 gift card per user named on the card. Allow six weeks for the $25 gift card to be shipped to the card purchaser. Standard shipping on the pre-paid card is free.
