An email supposedly from Homestead Hearth Quilt shop is on the loose this pm (timed with the store's closing time) which is requesting Amex card info to be pre-registered -deadline midnight today, local time - at the store's website to enable customers to receive a $25 credit towards the same amount of purchases Nov.26 plus an extra $10 to spend!!!

Do not respond to the link if you should receive notification of this offer.

I have sent an email to Homestead Hearth notifying them of this hyjack. Barnyowl

GRrrrrr! They just never relent, do they? Again and again, I get emails 'from me' which all the filters allow to come through. Since I just hardly ever send myself a message, they just get clicked off. Can't exactly kill-file and they know that. But . . . they never ever get a response. If I knew how, a swift kick in the pants would be good. Polly

Is that about Small Business Saturday?

Amex does have a promotion that sounds like that, but I don't know about the registration thing, and the SBS Facebook pages says that offer is now closed...
