For a limited time only, American Express is offering a FREE $10 gift card when you buy a $50 American Express pre-paid gift card! This is basically like getting free cash. Love it!
Great for giving yourself a little bit of extra room in your budget, or great to give as a gift to somebody else.
I skipped buying it too. For some reason they want social secruity number. Never need to provide SSN when I buy the gift card from a store….seems kind of sketchy to me.
I understand.
Here’s what American Express has to say about it:
“American Express is required by law to obtain personal information, including Social Security Number, to verify the identity of our customers. The American Express Prepaid Card adheres to the privacy standards of American Express. You can be assured that your personal information will be protected and secured. There is no credit check when ordering the American Express Prepaid Card and the use of the American Express Prepaid Card will have no impact on your or the American Express Prepaid Card User’s credit history.”
It asks for social security numbers and checking account info. Seemed too if-y to me.
