With the season of giving and receiving around the corner, American Express wants to spread some holiday cheer among the PT Money readers with a Gift Card giveaway! With their help, I will be giving away $25 American Express Gift Cards to 20 lucky readers. Part of the reason that American Express is offering this giveaway is to raise awareness of their Season of Surprises sweepstakes.
More About the Season of Surprises Sweepstakes

In this sweepstakes, American Express is giving away $100,000 to one lucky person who receives a Gift Card and then enters the sweepstakes using the information from the card.* They are also giving away 2,000 $25 Gift Cards and ten $10,000 instant win prizes. *Actually, no purchase is necessary. You can enter without buying or receiving a Gift Card.
In essence, if you give a Gift Card this holiday season, American Express will surprise some of those recipients with more gifts via the sweepstakes. Once you get your card it’s really easy to sign up for the sweepstakes. Just visit http://www.americanexpress.com/holiday2010.
American Express Gift Cards have no fees after purchase — no fees for activation, no fees for checking a balance, no fees for monthly servicing, no fees for card replacement, and the funds on the cards never expire. Replaceable for free if lost or stolen, the American Express Gift Card is available in denominations from $25 to $500, with an upfront purchase price ranging from $2.95 to $6.95.
American Express Gift Cards can be redeemed at U.S. retailers and restaurants that accept American Express Cards, and can be purchased at more than 70,000 retail outlets and online at americanexpress.com/gift. Gift Cards cannot be used at cruise lines, for recurring billing charges, at casinos or ATMs. See additional terms and conditions at americanexpress.com/gift.
