HOT: AMEX Travel 2 Hour Sale (Until 4PM PT 12/15/2011): All Flight+Hotel 20% Off
For the next 2 hours, well, 90 minutes now. AMEX Travel is having a 20% off sale for ALL flight and hotel packages through end of schedule.
Attention mileage runners: the flight and hotel packages allow you to select a different city in which you would like to stay. For example, if you book a flight from LAX-PEK but you can astral project yourself to stay at a $20 a night Howard Johnson in Las Vegas, NV, AMEX says no problemo
This will slash some $ off especially for those doing international runs.
Even if you are not running, it's still not a bad deal, if you have trips in mind.
There is no minimum. 20% off hotel and flight packages.
Book here:http://leisure.americanexpress-trave...main20,00.html
Use code AMEX20
Only bookable using an AMEX card.

Those of you wanting to use this discount for luxury hotels or any hotel stay for which it makes financial sense, a 13-miler 3x flight only adds $49 USD of fat on the dates I'm looking for (personally). Your experience may be similar ^

Posting wirelessly but, here's a thought
Maximum discount is $500 on $2500
Book a flight from some obscure airport maybe some Delta out post in africa or something to Vegas for $2485 + $15 hotel for total of $2,500
Pay $2000
Have flight worth $2485-$150 change $2335 or $335 profit for future travel
This used to work with similar deals don't know if will with Amex in particular
Even better any way to get refundable flights? I'd research more but won't be on computer before it's over

There are some VERY good fares using this discount if you are only staying for 1 night/running especially with another person.
Some highlights:
LAX-LON on AA $650ish in January during triple EQM via ORD
YYZ (not MR worthy, but tickets are usually $$$$$$) is as low as $360 with hotel, in the middle of summer. AA tickets alone on aa.com go for $660.
MEX is another example.

WOW.
I just booked a 5 night trip in January to HNL w/ the GF round trip from DTW for $1644 all in after the discount staying at the Sheraton Waikiki. We hate the Michigan winter. I already had the dates off worked planned with KE cancelled my Palau trip. Total last minute to advance planning whatsoever...she'll be surprised.
I was debating doing an AA MR during this time for the double EQM, but this will get me 19K AA EQM plus a nice trip.

7:24pm EST - all sold out!!! Was in the process of a 2nd LIH-EYW trip and couldn't apply the promo. Oh well thanks to Amex I saved $850 tonight!
Edit: checked Delta.com and my LIH-EYW flights booked into Y
That'll be a $450 profit after the throwaway hotel. Total net cost for Hawaii x2 for five nights thanks to Amex - $1,200.
