American Express currently has a promotion where you can receive 20% more points if you make twenty or more purchases. Â And their spokesperson for that is Tina Fey.
Except Tina Fey apparently doesn’t know how to use a credit card.  (Therefore, is missing out on bonuses plus is ripping off the stores).
Observe:
The entire commercial, Tina Fey is swiping her card backwards with the stripe facing away from the card reader.
I guess if you swipe your credit cards that way, you are getting 100% cash back. Â Not a bad deal.
Saw this with another card issuer’s commercials as well (forgot which one). I guess the point is so you see the name of the issuer as the card is being swiped.
“American Express currently has a promotion where you can receive 20% more points if you make twenty or more purchases”
This is a feature of the card that she is promoting (amex everyday), not on all amex cards and my understanding is its not a promotion but a permanent benefit.
BofA commercials do this too.
