July 24 Daily Deal Round up

American Express promotes it's rebooted Membership Express Rewards program. One prominent new feature is actually very useful: Points Advance!. You can take an points advance if you are close to a reward. Then you have a few months to earn those points. If you do not earn them on time, then they will charge you with the purchase of those points. A very fair system in my opinion. They have also added new rewards from Red Lobster, Olive Garden, California Pizza Kitchen. You can also redeem for pre-paid Express Rewards Hotel Cards. Always earn double points in the Bonus Points Mall website.

AAA members don't forget that your membership card can give you instant discounts on a number of restaurants, both local and chains. Check under Dining on the AAA website for a list by city or by zipcode. Also if you select an automatic renewal of your AAA membership you get a one time $5 off discount off your current dues!

Rite Aid has one of the best rebate programs in the country because you can submit everything online, simply by entering numbers from your cash register receipt on their rebate website.

For example this week you can get one Fuji T120 VHS tape free after rebate.
