A couple of month's ago Five Cent Nickel posted about some Great Credit Card Offers. I was reluctant and skeptical to apply for a card to take advantage of the bonus rewards points being offered. But after some thought and several phone calls to verify the details of the offer, I went ahead and applied for an American Express Card (business card, but anyone can get it as a "sole proprietor"). The $40 membership is waived for the first year (and I plan to cancel before the next), and I was supposed to receive 25,000 membership rewards after making my first purchase (of any amount, even $1). These membership rewards can be cashed in for a free airline ticket or for gift cards.
Well . . . I am very happy to report that I just received my free $250 in gift cards in the mail!!!
Yup! $250 in free gift cards!! There are lots of stores to choose from. I decided to get $150 for The Gap, $50 for Bath & Body Works, and $50 for Crate & Barrell. I plan to use these to buy Christmas gifts for my family.
So, if you're interested, it's not too late to sign up!
I'm even considering applying for another!

Woo hoo! I'm glad that worked for you! great for xmas, hey?
Yes! I am ready to start xmas shopping now! :)
I remember seeing this but figured I'd missed the boat--I'll check it out! 250 is by far the biggest incentive I've seen. Thanks for the tip!
Go for it sahmmy! Just be sure not to carry a balance and cancel the card before you get charged a fee for the 2nd year! :)
thanks for the tip. I will try it out!!!
