American Express Gift Card Holiday Giveaway

Here at The Recessionista the staff (me, myself and I) are violently opposed to the mere suggestion of Scroogenomics. Like Dicken’s transformed Ebenezer Scrooge, The Recessionista“will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. ” To prove our commitment to the spirit of giving and the holidays, The Recessionista, in cooperation with American Express, has a special holiday surprise. We are giving away 10 American Express gift cards  each week, over a 2 week period in the amount of $25.00 each.  That means 20 of  readers of The Recessionista Blog, 10 readers each week, will have the opportunity to win a gift card for holiday shopping. This is very generous on the part of American Express. Thank you American Express! 

Check out the American Express Holidays Sweepstakes site for a chance to win a $100,000 Gift Card prize.

As all good recessionistas and frugalistas know, the possibilities for giving and spending with an American Express gift card are virtually limitless. These gift cards are good for dining out, theatre, concerts, events and shopping. Unlike some other universal gift cards, American Express gift cards have no fees after purchase, so they are 100% gift, 0% fee for the recipient. That means you get $25.00 on the card, not $23.50 after the fee. It’s a wonderful life when you have an American Express gift card in your pocket or handbag. Please note, these cards are only good in the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
