We all remember the Pudding Guy from many years ago...A million miles from collecting pudding UPC codes. Are there any other "collection" types of promotions out there? I haven't seen any in years - did airline shy away from them after this deal?
I think the airline involved was American and I've seen promos on cereal boxes, but that too was many years ago.

So much for the Travelers cheque cards gambit. Amex just shut me down after a single reload and withdrawal sequence.

wow they sooo should shut me down too seeing as how I was running two of these cards and doing it so vigorously lately. Over the years I had been acting more slowly and not nec. reloading 14 days (min waiting time) after it was empty, and I was also being certain to do several small regular charges on this card to keep it real, but still... it was very clear I was trying to reap cash from this!
I do know that those who had a card linked to their OWN AMEX card had more troubles than guys like me who had, say, their wife's AMEX being used to load my own AMEX TC card.
Also, I did discover, to my dismay, that BofA charges $3 now to get money out of one of their ATMs with a non-BofA card!
$3! OMFG! I wrote to them telling them it was highway effin robbery! Another bank in my town still only charges $1.50. I knew that WAMU ATMs charge nothing but I have none of those in my area so I was ok with paying even $2 but $3 is sick. Good thing it's gonna end then!

Almost all Credit Union ATMs are surcharge free.
