Amex Promo

The American Express MyWishlist promotion begins today and runs through 12/14.

The main Wishlist items are up for sale at noon, 3pm, and 7pm ET. There are very limited quanities, so they sell out instantly (for example...on 12/4, they will be selling 1 Porsche Cayman for $5,000 at each of those times. Obviously fat chance of getting one.

There are also Wish Certificates that will be available one hour prior to the main Wishlist items. For example, today's 11am Wish Certificate is a 25% off coupon from Amazon.com. These Wish Certificates are free if you can get one, but they also "sell out" instantly.

Last year the only thing I managed to get was a Best Buy coupon that I didn't even use (I think it was 20% off of $200 or more)

( you must have an AmEx card to claim/pay for any of the prizes )

I remember you talking about this last year, but I didn't have an Amex at the time. This year I can try to get in on it. Thanks for the heads up.

On second thought, after looking through the items coming up for sale, there's not much on there worth buying. The Cayman would be nice, but other than that...

The Zune? No Thanks
A Blu-Ray player? Oh, that's useful

I guess they'd make good ebay fodder

The wish certificates could be nice though

Yea, the prizes don't seem to be as impressive as last year.

I know you're going to try and jump all over those dinnerware sets :-)


Related but random note: When you jump from one item to the next day's item, doesn't the sound effect just sound like a person going "whoosh"? You'd think they could have come up with a better sound effect.

I hadn't noticed that before because I had my speakers muted, but yeah, it sure does. At least it is a fairly low key whooshing noise. I hate websites with obnoxious sound effects.
