Sponsored Post: American Express Air Miles Card for Canadian Readers

With the holidays coming up, I know some of you are thinking about traveling for Christmas, Hanukkah or the New Year.  It’s a fact that planning in advance saves you money on travel.  But you may also want to consider charging purchases on an American Express Air Miles Card.  When you charge purchases on the card, and link it to your frequent flyer airline miles account, you get the benefit of earning miles. Here’s how it works. The first time you use the card, you get 150 free air miles.  After attaining that welcome bonus, you can earn 1 reward mile for every $15 in Card purchases at AIR MILES®* Sponsors, and 1 reward mile for every $20 in purchases you charge to the Card everywhere else. And, of course of most interest to my reader, because I know you are savvy shoppers when you  shop at participating AIR MILES®* Sponsors across Canada with your Card and your AIR MILES®* Collector Card, and you can earn reward miles from both. Double dipping is always the way to go.  Not to mention that you are accumulating miles without actually flying or leaving home.

I’ve been an American Express Cardmember for 17 years and I am always amazed at the benefits and customer service that American Express offers there card members.  Be sure to read about Membership Rewards, shopping credits at retailers, and more on the American Express website if you decide to sign-up for a card.  And speaking of cool things that American Express does for their card members, check out the upcoming Coldplay concert that American Express with be live streaming from Barcelona on Oct. 26th.  Take a look and listen to  the American Express Coldplay trailer to get a sneak peak of the concert experience.  This promises to be a fantastic digital musical experience.  But just think, if you were accumulating air miles, you might be able to earn enough to see Coldplay live in Barcelona. Just saying.   I have my American Express card linked to my Frequent Flyer accounts so I can save on travel, especially International travel (always the most expensive ticket)   It really works.  With the rewards you can make like a butterfly and fly across the pond to see  Coldplay.
