There is not much more to say. The card is about 4 X 6 and says on the front
A Holiday Shopping Trip = A Trip Away
Shop with Your American Express Card and Take Off with a Complimentary Continental Airlines Ticket!

In reading the fine print, I now notice: " Offer is Limited to Cardmembers who receive the mailing, and is limited to one per cardmember account". It looks like another targeted promotion. I have no Idea why they picked me. I don't use my Amex card alot, and I refuse to charge airline tickets on it because of the lousy insurance program. Perhaps I was chosen by lottery.
In the corner of the card, in small print, it says ET2638-RC2

I note that it also says travel must be in "B" class and over a saturday night, and that travel is capacity controlled. Nowhere does it say that it can't be upgraded. Actually, the more I think about it the more intrigued I become. If it's B class it should be treated like a revenue ticket. Perhaps a quick trip EWR-IAH-ANC for about 10,000 status miles and I expect it to be upgradable as well. This looks better and better.
