American Express is offering up a nice little deal for new costumers. If you apply for their business card and spend $1,000 dollars by Oct. 31 2008 they will give you 25,000 bonus points, which is enough to get a roundtrip airline ticket anywhere in the continental US. A little over a year ago they offered a similar, but better, offer. It was the same deal except it did not have a minimum spending amount. My friend took advantage of this buying a paper shredder and then jetting off to Orlando (we live in cold Cleveland) for a winter getaway.You may have noticed that I said “business” card. If you are not a business there is no need to worry. Simply put your name as the business name and your SS# as the tax ID number. There is a $125 annual fee that is waived the first year. If you would like, just cancel the card before a year to save on the fee. Keep in mind canceled credit cards DO effect your credit score. If you would like to apply for this offer go to www.americanexpress.com go to the small business section and click on “card offers”. Couple this offer with my vacation tips a few blogs back and you have yourself a truly cheap vacation. And as always, send me a postcard.
