20 years ago American Express launched their Membership Rewards program.   They were the first to offer points to their members that could be redeemed for rewards. My husband has carried an American Express card since the mid 80s, yet we didn’t sign up for the rewards program. I shudder to think how many points we have missed in those 20 years! Today the AmEx Membership Rewards program is bigger and better than ever.   The points can be redeemed for anything from Farmville and Amazon purchases to plane flights and hotel stays. Trip from Dallas mapI have been tasked with the grueling chore of designing a weekend getaway from Dallas using Membership Rewards points. I know!   I know!   It is pure torture! I live 20 minutes from DFW airport and would like to come up with something fun, fabulous and a bit off the beaten path. American Express is giving one of my readers a $100 AmEx gift card for a little planning assistance. To enter simply leave a comment below answering…

Where should I go?

Should I travel by train, plan or automobile?

What should I do when I get there?

If you tweet, please leave a comment.

The giveaway ends July 16, 2011 at midnight CST and the winner will be selected randomly and notified via email. I will be choosing my three favorite travel suggestions to explore further in future posts while bemoaning 20 lost years of rewards points…

  6. I really want to take our grandchildren to Disney Land/World, but have no idea where to start. So many webpages have info, but it’s just confusing. I’d love to hear a first-hand account- flying to Orlando/Cali or driving, what hotel you stayed at/why we should/shouldn’t stay there, how to play the trip and what are the must-see things. Plus,, I’m sure it would be fun for you. LOL! Maybe you could even get Disney to give u discounts for a review. 🙂

  8. Well, since we just got back from the beach, I think you should write a post about flying into Myrtle Beach and discovering places to go and things to do that are unusual and not as cheesy and touristy. It seems like a great deal of the things there are marketed towards tourists, but there are many people who live there year-round, so I know there has to be more we don’t know- delicious restaurants the locals love, beautiful gardens, surrounding less-populated islands to visit, etc. I would love to read something like that!
