American Express Wishlist - How Does My Wishlist Work

American express has a cool new feature called American Express My Wishlist. The program offers special holiday deals to American Express Card Holders. Here is how American Express My Wishlist works.

My WishList is a program from American Express that offers limited quantities of some of the most sought-after items at incredible Cardmember-only prices, as well as featured products with great savings, and limited-time, limited-supply Wish Certificates. The program runs twice a year: in the spring and during the winter holiday season. It's our way of saying "thanks" to our Cardmembers.

Why are you doing this program?

It’s just our way of thanking American Express® Cardmembers for their business throughout the year and for making American Express their Card of choice.

How long will the program last?

The Program Period starts at 10:00AM ET on November 27, 2007, and ends at 11:59PM ET (or until supplies last after 7:00PM ET batch) on December 13, 2007.

How does My WishList work?

To thank Cardmembers, we’re offering four great ways to participate in My WishList:

1. HOT PRODUCTS
Inventory is released three times a day.

In-demand items at incredible prices
Very limited quantities
Available first-come, first-served while supplies last

Once you have unlocked the Hot Product box, click “I WANT IT” to try to get a Hot Product

It does not work and pisses customers off. I will NOT be using my American Express Platinum card this year because of this. Hello MASTERCARD!

I am an American Express Platinum Card holder and My WishList NEVER works for the good items. Then when the system tells you you CAN'T buy what you want, you are offered some junk you don't want. I won't be using my Amex Card this year because of this. Hello MASTERCARD.

I tried and it doesn't work for me either
