AMEX for Target Discontinuing Program & AMEX Serve $25 Sign Up Bonus

Good evening everyone, I hope your weekend is going well.  I wanted to give a quick shout out to all of you who joined me at In-N-Out Burger this afternoon for my OC miles and points meetup.  I had a great time meeting and speaking with all of you.  I will organize another OC meetup in a few months.

Anyway, a long, long time ago, the American Express Prepaid Card for Target (aka AMEX for Target) was one of the few/best MS techniques available at the time.  Back in the day, you could load up to $1,000 with credit/debit/gift cards for a $3 fee and unload the card via cheap ATM withdrawals.  You could have 2 cards in your name and load up to $5,000 combined per month.  It was far from a perfect MS technique, but it was the best we had at the time.

OC Travel Hacker Meetup – Tustin District In-N-Out Burger – Saturday, February 27 12-2pm

Quick shout out: Thank you to everyone who joined me yesterday at the Mountain View travel hacker meetup at In-N-Out Burger.  It was great to see all of you, I will be back soon :)

Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is going well.  This has been a very busy week for travel hacker meetups.  I had a meetup last Monday, a meetup last Tuesday, a meetup yesterday (Saturday) and I will have another meetup this coming Saturday in Orange County.  I really enjoy meeting other miles and points junkies, it never gets old.  I know it’s been awhile since my last OC meetup, so I am taking my talents back down to Orange County.
