Going the gift card route this holiday season? If you do, the recipient may owe you more than the standard “thank you” note.
This holiday season American Express® Gift Cards is offering $250,000 in prizes as a part of their “Season of Surprises” promotion.

The lucky people who receive American Express® Gift Cards can go onto the American Express® contest site and enter their gift card number to see if they won one of 2,000 $25 gift cards or ten $10,000 “instant win prizes”. Once they enter their information, the gift card recipient will also be entered into a sweepstakes for a chance to win the grand prize of $100,000.

For more information or official rules, go to the American Express® site. With $250,000 in prizes up for grabs, I may go by some for myself.
