Make 4.5% + on Your Holiday Shopping

This post is thanks for a Budgetcents.net reader:

Wanna make a quick 6.5%? Cashback site BigCrumbs.com is offering a 4.5% cash back on American Express Gift Cards. If you purchase the gift card with a 2% cash back card such as the Fidelity Investments Reward card you can earn up to 6.5% cash back on a gift card that you can do all your purchasing with. Even if you don’t have a 2% card, you can use any other rewards credit card to earn rewards on the purchase plus get the 4.5% back from BigCrumbs.

An American Express Gift Card works exactly like an American Express credit card. You can use it anywhere American Express is accepted.

To get this deal you need to do the following:

• Sign Up for a Free Big Crumbs Account
• Once you have joined do a search in the BigCrumbs site for “American Express”
• Click the “Shop Now” button next to the “American Express Giftcards”



• You will then be taken to the American Express site.
• Choose a gift card, and enter promo code SA2009 to remove the $3.95 fee.
• Check out and pay with your credit card.

That is it, you should receive the 4.5% cash back into your BigCrumbs account ina few days. You will receive the rewards from your credit card per your account agreement. You can get a Amex Gift Card up to $3000. 4.5% of $3000 is $135!

If you have Christmas Shopping to do and you were going to use a credit card anyway, this is a great way to make 4.5% or more on that shopping you were going to do anyway!
