Happy Friday: American Express Membership Rewards Points Giveaway

by on May 20, 2011 · 241 comments

in American Express, Delta

I’m in St. Augustine this weekend for my sister’s wedding, so I’m in a particularly good mood – the weather is sunny and I am surrounded by family and friends. Last night I snagged a 300 Membership Rewards point voucher (just for using my Amex Platinum to enter the lounge as I wrote about here) and several others laying around that I’d like to offer to TPG readers. I really appreciate your support and the constant flow of tip emails and constructive feedback- keep it up!

While these points aren’t going to get you a flight – or even close – every point counts! All you need to do is comment below if you want to be considered. I’ll draw a couple random winners on Sunday and email you the codes and then you can redeem them online. You must have a Membership Rewards Account in order to use these certificates.

If you need a good Membership Rewards account, you may want to consider the Platinum Card - I wrote a review here and they are currently offering 25,000 bonus points (but you can most likely get more, just by asking as I outlined in this post).

Happy Friday!

    I’ll throw my hat into the ring! Very generous of you to offer up a few of these certs.

    After entering a few of these that didn’t seem to work with there online system I had to send a secured message to Amex to get them to post. However it looks like their system is fixed and just running slow. I got credit for the original 2 I entered and then 2 more I have entered since. I’m glad they fixed their setup since it was annoying having to use a secure message to Amex everytime to get the points to post.

  • Eric

    Very gracious!

    Thakn you!

  • Addison

    Hook a reader and twitter follower up!

  • Heels05

    Brian -

    Thank you for all the time you put into your website. As a frequent traveler, I find your regular emails and suggestions very helpful. I too and a points junky and have been making a point to stop by every Delta Skymiles lounge I can on the way to and from the airport. If you don’t mind, please enter me into your drawing as I can always use an extra 300 MR points.

    Thanks again for all that you do.

  • Dennis Murphy

    I’d like to be in the drawing. Just got back to the US via Amsterdam yesterday. An A330 with Economy Comfort. The program launches June 1 but this aircraft was already fitted with the 4″ increased pitch and 50% more recline and no up-charge since the program hasn’t officially launched. For those of us that travel on business but our companies won’t pay for Business Class – this is going to make a big difference on long-haul international travel.

  • Jon

    Love you site! Keep up the great work TPG!

  • Brian

    Keep up the terrific work — invaluable tips for us road warriors.

  • Shari

    I recently just found your website and love it. Thanks to you and your commenters, I got Amex to agree to give me the 50,000 MR for getting their recent Amex Gold Premier Card (the one with all the “controversy”). Thank you very much and I would like to be entered in the draw!

  • Victor

    thanks for the site. good info.

    Win or not…I’m an avid fan of all your info!

  • Sean Broderick

    I really enjoy visiting your site. Just did the Amex Platinum, will collect the 50k+ points tomorrow, and get them over to Delta. Never really thought I’d be close to platinum, but now looks like a shoe in. Looking forward on cashing in the points for Ireland next year, and finally will be able to “give back” to you, and travel in style at the same time. Thanks for doing this!!

    HI TPG!
    You list as one of the benefits of this card is 4x reward points for booking travel through Amex Bonus Points Mall
    I don’t see this benefit anywhere, all I can find is that travel is 2X the points. Have they just removed this benefit?
    thanks
