The Infamous TigerDirect AMEX Deal Strikes Back!!! (100 Tiger GC + 25K AMEX Pts.) Archived From: Finance |
GC from Tiger Direct
Approved On | Got Gift Card on | Notes
8/6/07 | | Contacted after 4 weeks. Was asked to wait for 2 more weeks (6 weeks)
8/14/07 | 9/22/07
Here we go again...
I did this last time, and after one email to Gus Brito at TD, was able to get my $150 code(after ~3 months) as well as the 15,000 pts(10,000 instant, 5,000 after 1st purchase) from AMEX. I was probably one of the lucky ones.
EDIT: Old Thread - for people who dare to remember...
Wasn't it $150 GC last time?
Worked out good for me. Got the GC + $100 account credit + $50 GC (from reward) + 5000 points for flexible payment option... This reminds me, time to cancel that card before annual fee kicks in.
This seems like a better deal this time for the following reasons:
1) Less reward from TigerDirect
2) More reward from AMEX
good deal. How hard is it to get approval for this type of charge card?

from the terms:
"The maximum 25,000 bonus points are available to first-time Basic Business Gold Rewards Cardmembers only"
i got in on the last deal, that means i am not qualified for the AMEX points, right?
need some more AMEX points to make this year's SWA companion pass a reality. thanks OP!
good deal - I guess the TD bonus is like a rebate....gravy if it works 
Wow. I was just about to buy a new mobo from Newegg but now I might have to jump in on this TD deal.
the name 'gus brito' makes me want to take an axe to my monitor. although I eventually got everything promised.

This is the first business card that I have been approved for. I was turned down by Advanta last month, so I guess this one is pretty easy. The app doesn't even ask for business income or anything like that.

It's not good to close the account. Just convert it to Blue for Business or another fee free card.

Does that work? I tried to convert to a Costco card, but they said it was co-branded and a different department. I sort of froze (not wanting anything else) and the CSR started offering me lower annual fee no limit cards.
Can you redeem 25000 points as a $250 AMEX cash certificate ?(So as good as getting a $250 check) ?
BTW how come there's no mention of any terms and conditions about this offer on the application page, looks sketchy.
anyone have experience with getting this as their 2nd or 3rd business gold card?
I just closed my business gold card account last month, got that one under the $250 deal from Christmas. i'm wondering if I'll get the bonus w/this card.
