American Express My WishList Promotion Starts December 1

November 24, 2008 By Justin McHenry

American Express will begin their annual My WishList promotion on December 1, giving lucky winners (or wishers) the opportunity to buy big-ticket items at a fraction of their cost, and those not so lucky to at least get some nice discounts on less pricey merchandise. Among the items in the mailed brochure for this year’s promotion: a 42″ Sharp Aquos LCD TV for $700, a Dell Studio 15 laptop for $499, and a “Dream Dining Experience” with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay for $2500. In addition, on December 18 (the final day of My WishList), American Express will give away at no charge three 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 SUVs.

My WishList offers multiple buying / saving opportunities on a first-come, first-served basis in these categories:

  • “Hot Products” are the big ones, offering extremely-limited quantities of very high value items, and are the most difficult to actually get your hands on
  • “Featured Products” have higher quantities (still limited, however) but savings aren’t quite as large
  • “Wish Certificates” are simply free coupons for up to 25% off when you make purchases at partner retailers

American Express will also feature special merchant offers that are available to any American Express cardholder and that do not have limited quantities.

You can get more information on merchandise and packages to be offered at http://www.amexnetwork.com/2008mywishlist.
