My wife and I each have purchased the limit both last year and this year. Most of these have been purchased during Amex/Delta Skymiles double mileage offers and so we have generated almost 300,000 miles. Thank you Flyertalk!

Too bad the Amex double-miles promo is over
Is it a regular (e.g., annual) promotion?

There's another thread going about the Always Double deal. Savings bonds do/don't qualify??

I can't find any old threads that state the always double applies to bonds, only purchases such as gas, grocery stores, per the AMEX website. The double points for bonds applied to the special limited-time promos. I'd like to know so I can complete my savings bonds purchases this year with the correct card. Thanks!

Please tell me how these savings bonds work...can you cash them immediately after buying them, or do you have to wait? And where do you buy them?
