Boingo deal from Amazon
Amazon's offering 6 months of free access to Boingo hotspots if you download the Boingo app from Amazon Underground. No idea if it's Android only or if it also works with iPhones, too.

Worth noting that some AmEx cards include a free Boingo membership. The SPG Amex does, I know.

Also worth noting that it is not necessary to use any Boingo "app" to access the bundled American Express account. Discussion here:

Does anyone what Boingo plan this gives you? Is it the global Mobile plan, or the Americas unlimited? Might be nice if it's the global Mobile plan, as we're taking an anniversary trip to Italy this October and free local wifi would be nice where we can get it.
We're both on VZW, although my plan is corporate-paid. No worries for me getting international calling/data, but the $10/day TravelPass isn't the most cost-effective solution for my wife, and $40/mo for 100 minutes, 100 SMS, and 100MB data is not exactly a great deal, given how easy it is to accidentally go over the 100MB.
