BMW AND MINI AMERICAN EXPRESS CARDS



BMW and MINI have cozied up with American Express to offer co-branded credit cards with an awards program through which they can win fabulous BMW/MINI-related trips and prizes. Looks like it might be only for Great Britain, so let's hope the two companies extend this gig stateside ASAP.

Merely getting the card scores cardholders 10 entries, then users get one entry for every 10 pounds spent, two entries for every ten pounds spent at a gas station, and three entries for every ten pounds spent at a BMW or MINI dealership. The prizes are pretty sweet, too -- winners can drive the new BMW 3-series coupe back from the European press launch or take a luxury vacation in Los Angeles. Smaller prizes include things like watches, apparel, etc. A minimum of 50 prizes are drawn each month.
