Christmas Credit Card Shopping and Travel Rewards
In their annual competition for holiday shopping customers, credit card companies bring out special credit card offers with unique rewards.
For example, American Express offers free shipping on holiday gift cards. By using a special promotional code (9VSSHIP07), Gift Card Shoppers enjoy free shipping and save on rush orders.
The free online shipping and discounts on rush orders apply when cardholders purchase American Express Gift Cards before December 10, 2007. They can save $5.95 on shipping, the cost of standard shipping, thus making shipping free. The offer is valid for online purchases of the following classic cards:
- American Express Gift Card
- Gift Card Especially for (SM) Kids
- Gift Card Especially for Teens
- Gift Card Especially for Movie Lovers
- Gift Card Especially for Dining
- Gift Card Especially for the Bride and Groom
- Gift Card Especially for Birthdays
- Gift Card Especially for Thank You
The promotion is also available for online purchases of American Express business gift cards; including:
- American Express Business Gift Card
- American Express Business Gift Card Especially For Dining
- American Express Business Gift Card Especially for Thank You
- Customizable American Express Business Gift Card
According to Stefan Happ; vice president and general manager, American Express Gift Cards, "Now, by ordering gift cards online, customers can avoid the crush of holiday shoppers, save some money and still have a great gift -- the gift of choice -- for anyone on their shopping lists."
Shoppers can get their free shipping at the American Express Web site by purchasing American Express Gift Cards using the promotional code VSSHIP07. The American Express Gift Card, available in denominations ranging between $25 and $500, can be redeemed at U.S. retailers and restaurants that accept American Express Cards. The Gift Card can be refunded if lost or stolen. All American Express Gift Cards come with special offers available at best-of-brand retailers, restaurants and merchants.
For consumers who may be travelling, they can enjoy other special holiday credit card offers, such as that offered by Discover Card.
Those that travel by air, the Miles by Discover(R) Card offers the ability to travel with no restrictions, earn unlimited miles that never expire, plus you can redeem faster with more options. Plus, Discover Cardmembers can make their entertainment dollars go further this season by earning a full 5% Cashback Bonus on movie and restaurant purchases when they participate in the Get More program. The Cash Back, plus the miles earned, can mean significant savings for consumers in light of rising fuel costs.
And for consumers who desire the warmth of giving, MasterCard offers "The Joy of Giving".
This special holiday promotion offers consumers a chance to win two identical prizes, in which the winner keeps and gives the other away.
How it works: MasterCard cardholders simply use their MasterCard credit or debit cards for qualified purchases during the Promotion Period at U.S. merchants, and they are automatically entered in the Sweepstakes for a chance to win.
According to Amy Fuller, Group Executive, Americas Marketing, MasterCard Worldwide. "The notion of winning two identical gifts, one for yourself and one to give to someone special - from cars and exquisite jewelry to exotic trips and home entertainment packages - by simply using your MasterCard card this holiday season, is something that distinguishes this initiative from others. This is a great way to help winners celebrate the spirit of giving and share in memorable experiences."
