I received an email from American Express today indicating that if I set up automatic bill pay for my cable bills, I would get 2,500 bonus points. I think this is a great deal to jump in!

According to the fine print, this is a targeted offer for those solicited card members only. This offer is good from March1 to march 31, 2008. Cable providers include: Cablevision, Comcast, Cox, Direct TV, Dish network and Time Warner Cable.

The enrollment process is very simple: You first have to have your American Express online ID and password, and your cable provider’s account information including online ID and password (If you don’t have one, they will set up for you.).

Of course, you must be enrolled in the Membership Rewards Program which will provide the bonus points for you. This rewards program is available to some basic personal American Express Cards like: Blue Cash, Blue, Preferred Rewards Gold Card, Preferred Rewards Green Card and so on. Enroll this promotion here.
