RETURN OF THE SON OF THE AMEX 75,000 POINT OFFER: The Amex 75K offer which suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared has suddenly reappeared, only this time it’s got a higher minimum spend: $10,000. Not amazing, but not bad either. Via The Points Guy, here’s the link. TPG recommends taking a screen shot to ensure that you’ll get the 75,000 offer, and that’s good advice.
AMAZON LAUNCHES AMAZON COINS: Tired of Bitcoin getting all the publicity, Amazon is launching its own currency, Amazon Coins, and is giving away 500 coins–which is their new focus-group-tested way of saying $5–to all Kindle owners. Someday there’s going to be a poorly-executed marketing promotion involving this currency, and some combination of Flyertalk, Fatwallet, and/or Slickdeals will figure out a sweet loophole, and we’re looking forward to that day.
And while we’re on the topic of Amazon, Slickdeals pointed out there are a couple of free books you might want to grab before the price reverts back to normal: The Food Allergy Mama’s Baking Book (normally $20) and Beer is Proof God Loves Us (normally $26).
$5 OFF $50 AT HOME DEPOT: $5 off in-store purchases when you register for their newsletter. (H/T: Slickdeals)
SPIRIT AIRLINES GIVEAWAY: Spirit Airlines is giving away 25,000 miles to the first 1,000 Philadelphians who show up. Since this is Spirit Airlines, the miles expire in 90 days, and it will cost you $3,800 to book a reward ticket and an additional $9,000 for a carry-on bag–but hey, free miles!
Thanks for the AX news!
