Update 5: Remember that the application window closes at 11:59pm est on Sunday…best of luck to all!

Update 4: The technical difficulties with getting to AMEX application pages continue…The best solution is to use a web browser from where you don’t login to your other AMEX accounts, or to clear your cookies and cache from your web browser in order to get the application to properly load.

Update 3: Due to the numerous technical issues AMEX has been having this week with their applications not loading properly, the window to apply for a card under this promotion will be extended until the actual 5th anniversary of this website-Sunday, November 22, at 11:59pm est. This will be the only extension, so please make sure to apply by then to participate!
The raffle will be held towards the end of November as AMEX is taking up to 7 days to report approvals.  The winners will be notified no later than 11/30.

Thanks for your understanding and best of luck to all!


Update 2: All problems should be fixed now, please post a comment if any of the links aren’t working!

Update: There have been some technical difficulties with some of the AMEX links over the past day.  They are being worked on and I will update this post when they are fixed.

Wow-it took 3 years to get to 1 million hits, and just 9 months to reach 2 million!

There are 2 ways to participate in this promotion, outlined by options 1 and 2 below.

Applying for a business card is easy, anyone can own a sole-proprietorship and create a business called “John Doe’s Ebay Sales,” On the application form just fill out your desired business name and leave the optional federal tax id field blank, and you’re good to go.

Best of all business cards don’t affect your personal credit score, so you won’t take any hit when you open or close the card, and you won’t lose points on your credit score even if you use a high percentage of your total credit line on a business card.

You must use the links below to get to each credit card in order to participate in the promo.

Option 1:

All you have to do to participate in the raffle is apply for the AMEX Business Gold Rewards Card!

Update: No firm commitments, but depending on the game, I may be able to give more than 1 ticket to the winner if necessary…the details will be worked out later.

As the counter draws to within hundreds from the milestone-It’s time to let the games begin!

I have temporarily relocated the hit counter to the top of the sidebar.

Email me a screenshot of the 1,000,000th hit and you’ll be invited to join me (and others) at Jacobs Field to watch the Indians battle the Yankees for game 5 of the American League Division Series. If the Indians beat the Yankees before game 5 (the Yankees cannot beat the Indians before game 5) then you will be invited to come to an American League Championship Series game at the Jake, which will most likely be versus the Red Sox.

A screenshot of the 999,999th hit will win you an XM satelite radio/MP3 player.

A screenshot of the 1,000,001st hit will win you a Sandisk MP3 Player.

Making a screenshot is easy, just locate the “Print Screen/Prnt Scrn” button on your keyboard, you will probably need to use the FN or shift button together with it to capture the screen. Then just go into a basic program like Microsoft Paint which can be found on every PC and press Paste to paste the screen into Paint. Email me the screenshot along with your name and address to claim your prize!

Limit 1 prize per person.

In the event of an unclaimed prize the grand prize will go to the 999,999th hit, and then to the 1,000,001st hit. The subsequent remaining prizes would be forfeited. Trades are allowed among the 3 winners, but only if all affected parties agree to the trade.

All prizes must be claimed by 11:59pm edt tonight.

Good Luck!
