$500 In American Express Gift Cards Giveaway - FIVE WINNERS + American Express “Season of Surprises”

Who couldn't use a little extra money, especially during this time of year? Some say that money or gift cards aren't a personal enough gift, but I would be thrilled to get one. There are often times when I don't know what to get someone on my list and buying an unwanted gift is out of the question. An American Express Gift Card is the perfect answer!

The American Express “Season of Surprises” Promotion

Imagine giving your friends or loved ones a gift and finding out later that it is worth more— $10,000, or even $100,000. In time for holiday shopping, American Express Gift Cards is introducing “Season of Surprises,” its new holiday promotion where $250,000 in prizes is up for grabs – including a $100,000 grand prize.
