American Express Savvy Shopping Must Haves $250 Giveaway

November 2, 2011 by Momstart 51 Comments

This season is full of great fashion finds and must have items and since I’ve told you before that I don’t have fashion sense, I have some helpful hints from American Express. I’m working with American Express Membership Rewards again and how Savvy their program is. You can look back on the Savvy tips with American Express post for Savvy Shopping tips, but I’m still going to give you a quick recap on that post.

AMEX-Logo1) Do Your Research

2) Think Before You Buy

3) Understand return policies

4) Know who you are buying from

5) When using credit make sure you’re earning points

and

There are six major points when it comes to using your American Express Membership Rewards:

Points Don’t Expire
Rewards at a Few Points
Travel Your Way
Find Great Deals
More Choices to Use Points
Redeeming is Easy

Visit American Express To learn even more about American Express Membership Rewards.

Now you’ve seen my plea for fashion help in the past, so I’m not even going to pretend that I could come up with a list of fashionable finds for you. And these finds are quite fashionable from top designers like Michael Kors. (Most of the time I’m sitting in my sweat pants and oversized sweatshirt. The life of working from home I tell you.) Plus, I don’t even have a purse right now, I still carry the diaper bag and my kids are out of diapers.

The American Express Savvy Shopping Must Haves of 2011 are:

 

North Face Denali Jacket (Retail $165):

Michael Kors Hamilton Medium Messenger Bag (Retail $248.00):
