$100 gift card from American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card

I recently applied for the American Express Starwood Preferred Guest credit card and got 10,000 Starpoints after my first purchase which was enough to redeem for a $100 gift card from one of their merchandise partners including Amazon.com, Banana Republic, Brookstone, Nordstrom, Pottery Barn, Starbucks and more. There is no membership fee for the first year, so you can cancel it after you get the gift card.

If you travel a lot, it's a good card since you can trasnfer your Starpoints to major airlines' frequent flyer programs.

It took me about 3 months to get the gift card. Enjoy!
