Are you kidding me? I'm starting to feel majorly jipped. I just got two of these emails:
Congratulations! The next time you shop at you
will receive a $15 Off Next Purchase, courtesy of The Gift Chain from American
Express.
Simply use your registered American Express® Card again at
to make a minimum purchase of $
by no later than February 29th, 2012, and you will receive a $ credit on your Card statement. It's that easy.
So now I have to make another purchase. Truthfully I'd be happier with a $2 credit.... Bummer

Just bought a $25 Starbucks card from Walmart and ended up with a 1 year ShopRunner membership. It's a good deal considering I would have spent that money buying a starbucks card anyway.

Ok, so now I'm having lots of my WM GC's starting to ship, but the odd thing is the emails say that the total billed is $0. It says I bought a $25 GC for $0. I'm hoping that I get them all and it's just a screw up on the email. Every single email from WM says the same thing, with different order numbers and delivery dates, so it's not just 1 screwy email from them, but all of them. FWIW, none of my pending charges from WM have settled yet. See below.

I'm continuing down the REI $25 gift card cycle. Last night's purchase took a while for a gift to arrive , it was a $15 statement credit , arrived mid-day ...
so this evening I went back to REI.com , surprisingly AMEX sent 2 gift confirmation emails for one purchase, a $15 statement credit towards REI.com and a $20 statement credit

give it up to 48 hrs , in my experience some of the more complex gifts take longer to process. The "$5 statement credit" gifts arrive within 5 mins

I bought 2 $25 GC from Gamestop two days ago and as of today no emails? Is it normal? It's been about 48 hrs already.
Assuming I registered my business card instead and used my Gold Premiere card for purchase; does anyone know if I register my gold card now after the purchase if it will recognize my purchases and will my purchases before registration count?
