Business News and Information

Today is Thursday, November 29, 2007, which means there’s only 25 days of mounting debt, I mean reckless consumerism, I mean shopping, left until Christmas.

American Express card holders can save a little bit of dough on luxury goods and the new tech toys by shopping online at their exclusive, and very popular, My Wishlist. This program is a coup for American Express, retailers, and shoppers.

Minimal supply, plus crazy discounts and a small window of opportunity equals a shopaholic bargain hunters dream. The best (read, insane) deals can only be had at certain times on certain days, and of course all purchases must be made with an American Express charge card.

Gizmodo, the site “so much in love with shiny, new toys, it’s unnatural” lists some of the specials sure to sell out instantly, check it out. You could buy a 42” Panasonic plasma tv for about $2,000.00, or if you’re a card holder, buy one November 30^th  at My Wishlist for $700. Yeah, you read that right.

If you’re more into exclusive luxury goods than toys, visit PR Newswire for a brief sampling of some covet-worthy items like 1.4 carat diamond earrings for $1,800 (regularly priced $6,000).

Hal Halladay, Know More Media CEO, wrote an insightful post highlighting the reasons this campaign is so successful, that would be my first stop, if I were you.
