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!
