What is My WishList?

My WishList is a program from American Express that offers limited quantities of some of the most sought-after items at incredible Cardmember-only prices, as well as featured products with great savings, and limited-time, limited-supply Wish Certificates. The program runs twice a year: in the spring and during the winter holiday season. It's our way of saying "thanks" to our Cardmembers.

it would help if you have the pre-promition site link.


AMEX Wishlist is one of the best times of the year


c0nfused said: it would help if you have the pre-promition site link.
It is typically mylifemycard.com/wishlist


they still owe me the $150 gift card from last year


c0nfused said: it would help if you have the pre-promition site link.

amexnetwork.com

This is likely where the pre promotion will originate. However it isn't active yet as this is the pre- pre-promotion period.


Finally back. Even though the Spring one was lacking in years' past, I did miss it this year.

Hopefully the 2 phase will run smoother, and without the BestBuy headaches of last year.


The site is active...

My WishList


I'm not seeing it.


Hello again all! Hope you had a great summer! Hey are we using this forum or the one in Contests and Sweeps?


well the site is active
not much in the teaser to get excited about
looks like AMEX will work out the bugs in the system
using the teaser


Deadwing said: I'm not seeing it.

http://mywishlist.amexnetwork.com

Welcome back all!


Is that Merceds designed by Suzuki? It looks like a Samurai


New faces, old faces, good deals gradually becoming blah deals. Still, another year - another chance to s***** and win.

I see limited (to none) value in teaser certs. Unless there's something interesting to buy->eBay @BestBuy this time of year?


Strange...the page was up yesterday, but now site takes me to old page...anyone else?


Chariot412 said: Strange...the page was up yesterday, but now site takes me to old page...anyone else?

Hey Chariot- page is up for me- maybe double check your navigation?

Think I like the credit option rather than the certs- until I start looking for it on my AMEX statement when it doesn't show...


Hmmmmmmmmmmm...u were right...wrong site...Thx!


seemed easy...


Not letting me unlock


Woo Hoo 1/1! Interesting...I didnt get a countdown clock or anything. I had to reload at the top of the hour to get the "I Want It" button. New process or bug?


Looks pretty lame this year--as might be expected given the constant watering down that taken place over time. Looking at the T&C can't find any mention of Amazon. Note also that coporate cards are no longer valid meaning that a lot of us will be limited to one "household"


Yay, 'won' the PETsMART GC this morning. Can't imagine it'd be on many people's wishlist, but I was about to head out to PETsMART to pickup some stuff for the cats, so this will do nicely. Most of the GCs are linked to ccards (ie. you now get a credit onto your credit card after purchase rather than getting the coupon issued my mail or email to you) so I imagine there will be far fewer people going for these this year. Sadly no Amazon again this year.

Yeah, I don't seem to recall getting the 'I Want It' button until I refreshed the page... I was waiting and waiting for the page to update by itself (like the countdown that appeared last year as it drew close to time). I'm surprised it didn't do that this time around.


They're still out there

Yes, no Amazon is tragic...they've been running their own promo last couple of years, though. Might hold out some hope for something during the actual Wishlist period...


So just wanted to make absolutely sure: is the Wishlist certificates limited to 4 for teaser time frame and then i can get another 4 during the actual promo?


Still PETsMART at 2:58.....shhhhhh, lets not tell anyone about Wishlist so it's this easy later


Can't believe it either. I got one easily even though I don't have pets. Gonna help my buddy save 2000 pennies. Now I'm looking for some coupon to make it even sweeter.

gern180 said: Still PETsMART at 2:58.....shhhhhh, lets not tell anyone about Wishlist so it's this easy later


Welcome back, all! Ugh... no Amazon and no Depot. Are these going to be our only WC options (as in none during the actual promotion)?


the Best Buy $150 on $500 statement credit would be good for someone buying a television

but I'm waiting for black friday 2009 for my next set


kanderna said: Welcome back, all! Ugh... no Amazon and no Depot. Are these going to be our only WC options (as in none during the actual promotion)?

no, there will be WC during the real promo too


What seems interesting to me is that the % off for the Wish List period is "up to" 25% off, but for the teaser, they are more than 25% off (Borders is 33% off, or 3-8% higher than the coupons they email me every 1-2 weeks). Of course, you would have to use within a couple of weeks - they expire November 30. And based on the language, it sounds like you could get up to 4 teaser credits and up to 4 wish list certs.


Ahhh... Wishlist. When everyone at their job tries to participate while not getting fired in the process.


telstar said: Ahhh... Wishlist. When everyone at their job tries to participate while not getting fired in the process.

What are you talking about, I am on a break.


telstar said: Ahhh... Wishlist. When everyone at their job tries to participate while not getting fired in the process.

True, true....


I got one of the Borders certs at 10:30 am. Clicking at 9 am didn't work...looks like they may be releasing them in waves again


con said: I got one of the Borders certs at 10:30 am. Clicking at 9 am didn't work...looks like they may be releasing them in waves again

Doubtful. It's just harder to get them at 9 am than it is an hour and a half later. A lot of people get WC and then release them, but an hour later it's just whoever wants a lousy certificate!


Say, did anybody notice the terms on tomorrow's BB cert? It's $150 credit when you spend $500, but the T&C says it only works for TVs $799 & up!


Just got the coupon for $150 over $500 spending at best buy.


sold out

I was just wondering I used my bank of america AMEX card to make a purchase on the UPS Store on the 14th of Jan but it didn't post until Jan 16. Will I still get the $50 promotion ? The offer stated it expires on the 15th
