Why would I want an airline flight for 100+ people? IMO, I would've preferred that huge package broken into a couple smaller prizes, like more free cars or tvs!

Hmmmmm....American Express is offering $500 gift cards with no fee. I wonder.....

I'm still pretty sure us FWers and SDers alike will take the lion's share home because we're so darn persistent folk, not hackers.

So we can't be both?

Why do manually what you can automate I say. More fun than just clicking away like a monkey (no offense to our simian friends).

Hey Wishlisters! Glad to see everyone back again. Hopefully we can get some great stuff that we 'have to have' this round!

why do people get banned?
also, does every AMEX holder get to play, or is it an invite only thing?
thanks in advance!

The promotion is open to valid US AMEX cardholders in goooood standing...

Top resons for banning include flooding the AMEX servers with requests when trying for a product, 'flooding' now defined as anything greater than using more than one browser window to click/request, and not using a 'valid' cardnumber (parameters undefined)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!!

Any Holiday Rockstars out there?? I hope this isn't what the programmers have been working on since the last wishlist.

It's true, I've been banned every year so far.

ditto.
I am in

There's no 'insider'. Incredible how a rumor can spread so easily. Despite what AMEX may think about FWers and 'hackers', there has never been any intrusive attempts that was condoned by FW or any group uof people with the MyWishList promotion.

In the early versions of this promotion, Fwers were able to use their collective knowledge to gain an upper hand by sharing information that allowed to get an upper hand on the average Joe/Jane (ie: tokens, frames, java, IP Banning avoidance), all of which do not work anymore with recent versions. It was more AMEX programmers with a grudge match than anything. As a typical FWer, we all just want to get a really good deal, and that's what MyWishlist is.....a really good deal.

It's been a great promotional tool and works in promoting AMEX's brand quite successfully over the years. Despite all the disappointment in prizes this past summer which continues into this winter's (Wishcert traditional TRU and Amazon are missing for the 1st time), I will find myself at my usual spot on the computer three-six times a day again for the duration of the promotion. It's worse than the slots!

Click click click....2 more days.
