I don't know how many of us actually read into the AMEX wish certificates fine prints. But there is a few things to know before you get too excited.

1, AMEX Bestbuy certificate is not an actual coupon. In stead, it's a remark made on your credit card account. You use your AMEX card to buy things (>$600 in total) from Bestbuy first, and they will send you a gift card after 4 to 6 weeks. It's more like a rebate program.

QUOTE
You've selected to receive a $150 Best Buy Gift Card when you spend $600 or more at Best Buy in selected categories when you use any American Express® Card. Please see terms and conditions. This letter does not need to be presented at time of purchase. Make your qualifying purchase and the gift card will be rewarded to you within 4-6 weeks of your purchase.


2, Expiration dates. You must make your purchase at Bestbuy B&M or .com before 1/15/08

3, Valid, or not? Although the AMEX website states that you can get a maximun of 4 wishlist certificates per household within the whole promotion period.

QUOTE
Wish Certificates

There is a limit of one Wish Certificate per merchant, per household, per day. There is a maximum of four (4) Wish Certificates per household, during the entire Program Period.


The certificate states otherwise:

QUOTE
Limit one award per Cardmember.


So if you have won two BB certificates on the same card, or different cards in the same household, ..., you are going to try your luck.

4, who to call.

QUOTE
Call 1-800-824-3327 from 9:00AM–8:00PM ET, seven days a week, FROM NOVEMBER 27 – DECEMBER 13. Please call the same number between 9:00AM–5:30PM ET, Monday through Friday, from DECEMBER 14 – DECEMBER 31, 2007. Please have your confirmation/order number available.


Good luck, everyone.

Tomorrow is jet blue. The way I'm reading it it is 20% off gift certificates? Whaddyathink?

OK, here is the deal. I just talked to a CSR (Silverman) on the phone. According to her, if I won the same certificate twice on the same card, I can use it twice. That is, two separate purchases each exceeding the $600 limit and I will get two $150 BB giftcards back in the mail. But watch out for the catagories listed on the back of your certificate!!!!

Wish certificates are easy to get as days passes. I got BB, Home Depot and Borders so far.. But to get the real stuff, unless you have the script, you are pretty much out of luck, IMHO.. Nobody is willing to share that understandably..
