How It Works
Why are you doing this promotion? Is it a sweepstakes?
No, this is not a sweepstakes. It's just our way of thanking our Cardmembers for their business throughout the year and for making us their Card of choice for holiday shopping.
Why are the featured items priced below retail?
We are offering the featured items at prices that are below retail as our way of giving something back to our Cardmembers during the holidays.
How can I purchase one of the featured items I see on the site?
To purchase one of the featured items on the site, you must visit the site at 12pm, 4pm, or 9pm ET on the day the item becomes available. Once you are sure you want to purchase the item, get your American® Express Card ready and click on the "I Want It" button to see if the product is still available. If the product is still available, you will need to provide your billing and shipping information. If the product is not available, you will receive a "Not Available" message.
If a featured item is sold out that day, will I have a chance to get another one?
All featured items except for the BMW will only be available for one day during the promotion, while supplies last. The BMW will be available to purchase on three separate days.
Is there a waiting list for items that I can sign up for?
No, there is no waiting list.
How long does this promotion last?
The promotion starts at 12pm ET on November 22, 2004, and ends at 11:59pm on December 21, 2004.
Wish Certificates
What is a Wish Certificate?
A Wish Certificate is a limited-time, limited-supply offer that you can redeem at a selection of top-name merchants for substantial savings. Offers vary by merchant.
How many Wish Certificates can I get?
You can get one Wish Certificate per household, per day.
How will I receive my Wish Certificate?
Wish Certificates requested before 3pm ET are sent out at the end of each business day. Wish Certificates requested after 3pm ET will be sent out the following business day. All orders are sent out via UPS Overnight.
Do I have to pay anything for the Wish Certificate?
No. Wish Certificates are just another way we are thanking our Cardmembers this holiday season. However, we do ask for your Card number in order to verify you are a Cardmember, and there is a limit of one Wish Certificate per household, per day.
Can I redeem a Wish Certificate both in-store and online?
The merchants will provide different options as to how you can redeem your Wish Certificates with them. Some merchants have online redemption only, some have in-store redemption only, and some offer both options.
Do Wish Certificates expire?
You have until December 24, 2004, to redeem your Wish Certificates. If you have a travel Wish Certificate, travel dates must be booked by December 24, 2004, as well. For more details on travel requirements and travel times, please read the individual terms and conditions on your travel Wish

Do I have to pay with my American Express Card? Can I use my Corporate Card?
Yes. You can pay for your featured items with any Card that has the American Express Blue Box on it.
Can I buy more than one featured item at a time?

Do I have to pay tax?
Yes. You will be responsible for your state's individual tax rates.

All purchases may be subject to personal income tax (federal, state, and local) based on the discount amount off the fair market value of each of the item(s) purchased. Discount amounts of more than $600 per Cardmember across one or multiple purchases are subject to income tax and you will receive a Form 1099-MISC. American Express, where applicable, will provide funds to Cardmembers to help defray income taxes. You will receive a package in the mail with full details on how to receive those funds.

You will have the choice of UPS Ground or UPS Overnight shipping for most items. There will be a flat shipping charge of $5 for UPS Ground and $10 for UPS Overnight. Other items will be sent directly from the manufacturer or through certificates. You will need to reference the individual product details for complete information on shipping methods.
