American Express is going to run a gift card promotion starting from May 1st through June 30th. This gift card promotion is similar to the previous ones: gadget lover’s card promotion and back to school promotion.
Here is the details:
- Buy 2 American Express gift cards (each card value should be $25 and above) at participating retailer stores
- Filling out the mail-in-rebate form and submit to the address as described in the form before July 22nd, 2008. (You have to attach original receipt with the rebate form.)
- All the mail-in-rebate forms can be found at participating stores like CVS, Rite Aid etc. These forms should appear at participating stores soon.
- You will receive a $25 value Spring Fling American Express Gift Card per form which can be used at BestBuy, Borders, SpaFinder and Fandango. Remember all of the Spring Fling cards are valid for only 90 days after issue date.
- This offer is limited two bonus gift cards per household. (If you want to get two spring fling gift cards, you have to submit two rebate forms.) And there is a $3.95 activation fee associated to each American Express gift card.
Let’s do the math:
2*$25+2*$3.95=$57.9 and you get $25+$25+$25=$75, so you can get $17.1 profit. If you buy 4 gift cards, you can get $34.2 profit! If you have more than 1 address available, you can get more!
Overall this is a fairly simple promotion: walk into a store, buy 2 American Express gift cards, fill out a form, and wait for the $25 gift card in the mail.Again this promotion begins on May 1st, 2008. Don’t buy them yet!

How do you know there isn’t a $3.95 activation fee on the 25 Spring Fling reward card also?

To Whom It May Concern:
I just bought two American Express Gift Cards -
One in the amount for $50.00 and the other one in the
amount of $100.00. There was a advertisement for the Spring Fling Gift Promotion. But the CVS in the Linwood Shopping Center,Fort Lee did not have any forms in store. I ask store manager, said he was not informed. Please send a form to me.
Thank you for your assistance.
