News Updates: 7,500 AA Miles For Test Drive, Free Money at Staples and Amazon

A few quick news updates so no one is missing any great deals to earn miles or save money!

7,500 American Airlines Miles for Test Driving a Cadillac

Cadillac is currently running a promotion where you will receive 7,500 American Airlines miles for test driving one of their new cars. You can call to schedule an appointment or, as Gary from View from the Wing points out in his post, this can even be done online via a chat function. The actual test drive lasts about 10 minutes and the promotion is scheduled to run a total of 6-8 weeks, though can end at any time.

$20 Off Amazon Purchases with an Amex Membership Rewards Card

Deals We Like has a very good explanation of how certain targeted American Express Membership Rewards credit card members can receive $20 off on their Amazon purchases. Basically, you receive $20 off when you use your Membership Rewards credit card to pay for an Amazon purchase, but you only have to apply 1 cent toward the purchase to get the full $20 discount. Worth checking out!

$20 Staples Gift Card with $300

From October 19-25, Staples is offering a $20 Visa prepaid gift card with Visa gift purchases of at least $300 in-store. Visa gift cards at Staples come in the form of a $100 gift card for $5.95 or a $200 gift card for $6.95, allowing you to make a little bit of money on the deal. There are also credit cards that earn you 5% cash back or 5 points per dollar at office supply stores so I’d definitely recommend using one of those for this deal.

    Awesome… I thought though that the charge cards offering Staples 5% cash back all stopped accepting cash cards or their equivalent for the 5%?

      I haven’t had any problem with the Chase Ink cards or the Amex SimplyCash :)

        The Staples deal is a $20 Visa gift. Not Staples GC so even better.

            Did you ever buy Visa card at Staples through the Chase UR portal with Ink? I was wondering if we can double dip with the 5x category and 2x UR category.

    Just flipped through the upcoming Staples ad, and it is actually a $20 Visa Gift Card not Staples Gift Card. It is only one per address.

    Better to combine with Amex Sync 20 off 100 :). I think the twitter offer already reached its max, so only good for those who got in on the offer.
