1.   1,000 Free American Airlines Miles

Doctor of Credit writes, you can earn a quick 1,000 American Airlines miles.

To earn the miles, watch 6 videos (you can skip to the end) and answer 6 questions (you don’t have to answer correctly).

This deal is good until June 12, 2015, at 12:00 pm Central Time.

Here’s how it works:

• Enter your dream destination
• Click on the marker in front of each door to “watch” the videos
• Answer a question after each video (you’ll still earn the miles for incorrect answers)
• Register to win 2 First Class tickets to anywhere American Airlines flies
• 1,000 American Airlines miles should post to your account in 6 to 8 weeks

This is only takes a few minutes and it’s a great way to keep your American Airlines miles from expiring for another 18 months!

2.   $20 Off $20 at SamsClub.com

You can save $20 at SamsClub.com with AMEX Offers.  Tweet “#AMEXSamsClub” to @AMEXOffers.  Then use your linked American Express card to make a purchase of $20 or more and you’ll receive a $20 statement credit.

This deal expires September 30, 2015, but enrollment is limited.

You will only earn the statement credit for online purchases.

If there’s a store near you, select in-store pick-up to avoid shipping costs.

Don’t have a Sam’s Club membership?  You can still buy items on SamsClub.com, but you’ll pay a 10% fee.

If you’re new to AMEX Offers, check out my post with more details on how to register for these deals.  And if you have more than 1 AMEX card, you should be able to get this deal more than once!

Other Important Terms

• Phone orders and purchases in-store do NOT qualify
• Prescription drugs, photos, travel offers, payroll services,  Samsclubauto.com, Samsclubstationery.com, Samsclubchecks.com, and Samsclubcontacts.com purchases do NOT qualify.

3.   Save $20 on Visa Gift Cards at Office Depot or OfficeMax

Via Frequent Miler, you’ll get $20 off when you buy $300 or more in Visa gift cards at Office Depot and OfficeMax.

You can get this discount through May 16, 2015.  There’s a limit of 2 per customer.

Most Visa gift cards charge a ~$7 activation fee.  So if you buy two $200 Visa gift cards, you’ll pay ~$14 in fees.  But with this deal you’ll get a $20 discount and come out ahead ~$6.

This is an excellent way to meet the minimum spending on your credit cards!
