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…

Should I travel by train, plan or automobile?

  7. I suggest going to summerfest in milwaukee by plane. There are musical acts from all genres, from pop, country, blues, alternative, zydeco, you name it. The tickets do not cost more than 20. It’s a bargain to see all those bands play, if you are a diehard music fan.
