Last week you may have noticed that a lot of bloggers mentioned American Express deal for a free $25 Gift Card bonus when you load $200 or more on a new AMEX prepaid card by June 30, 2012. While the deal probably received heavy advertisement for its affiliate link, the card and promotion is worth checking out. (Note: My post does not contain a referral link.)
Too bad this promotion wasn’t announced a couple of weeks ago. This prepaid card would have been a good candidate for my teenager to test while attending a camp in a different state. I did send her off with a couple of other cards to test for convenience and ease of use.
