3.   Save $10 on $50+ in Olive Garden Gift Cards

Looking for holiday shopping ideas?  You can save $10 on a $50+ Olive Garden gift card purchase when you use your synced American Express card through January 15, 2016.

Check your American Express account!  You may have received the offer more than once.

To get the deal, you must purchase the gift card with your synced American Express card through OliveGarden.com/Amex10.

Terms & Conditions

• Offer is only valid when you buy gift cards at OliveGarden.com/Amex10, NOT in-store
• Only US gift cards (not Canadian gift cards) qualify

4.   What’s the Deal With the Email Sent to AMEX Prepaid Cardholders?

According to the email you can:

• NO longer link a new bank account to add funds to AMEX Bluebird, Serve, or Target REDcard Prepaid cards
• Access the funds from a direct deposit 2 days earlier

Some folks thought the email might mean you can load Target REDcard Prepaid card with debit cards again.  But unfortunately, that deal is still dead because the recent change in policy appears to be coming from Target, NOT American Express.

5.   New Barclaycard JetBlue Card Coming Soon

Earlier this month I wrote about the end of the AMEX JetBlue card.  And now via Free Frequent Flyer Miles, the new Barclaycard JetBlue MasterCard will be available early 2016.

Remember, this Saturday is our Blog Giveaway.  This week Emily and I are giving away 15,000 British Airways Avios points!  That’s enough points for a 1-way flight from Boston to Ireland.
