American Express Spreads Holiday Cheer with Gift Cards *Giveaway*

american-express-gift-cardIt’s Dec 3rd, and many of you are in full swing shopping for your friends and family. I am sure many of you are like me and wish to be able to get yourself a little something as well right? Well American Express wants to help you get something special for yourself. 

American Express Gift Cards are the only universal gift card available with no fees after purchase. I love using Gift Cards, and especially American Express ones. I can use the same Gift Card at many different stores so I am not stuck using it at one place.

Gift cards are expected to top wish lists everywhere this holiday — but they’re not all the same.  Unlike others, American Express Gift Cards are 100% gift, and 0% fees for:

  • activation
  • checking a balance
  • monthly servicing or card replacement
  • AND the funds on the card never expire  

This year you can pick up a special gift card with unique styles.  The styles for Holiday 2009 include:

  • Limited edition designs by pop-artist Peter Max, best known for his recent Presidential portraits and “Cosmic” art of the 1960s
  • New customizable gift card designs so buyers can write personal messages to the recipients

American Express Gift Cards come in denominations of $25, $50, $100, and $200, and are available for purchase online at www.americanexpress.com/gift, and at over 70,000 retailers nationwide.

American Express Spreads Holiday Cheer with $100 Gift Card giveaways on Twitter!

Whether you’ve been naughty or nice this year, tell American Express what’s at the top of your holiday wish list for a chance to win a $100 American Express Gift Card!

Each business day from now through December 15th, American Express will randomly select three winners.  All you have to do is tweet @americanexpress any holiday gift you want, up to a $100 value, using the following format:

Hey @americanexpress. I have _________ on my holiday list. Pick me! #amexgiftcard.
