American Express Offers Double Points on Gas & Groceries for Charge Card Holders
March 31, 2009
American Express last week announced a new perk for holders of its consumer charge cards — double Membership Rewards points on gas and grocery purchases for the next year or so. (The program began March 22 and runs through March 15, 2010.) Double points can be earned on up to $1000 of gas and grocery purchases per month.
The increase in rewards is not automatic — American Express consumer charge card holders must either register at www.americanexpress.com/counttwice or call 1-800-794-1308 and use the promotional code 139150001 to receive the extra rewards.
Consumers that sign up for American Express consumer charge cards between April 1, 2009 and June 30, 2009 will get the extra rewards automatically for one year upon approval.
