Turn $25 into $30 at Dunkin Donuts

Do you stop at Dunkin Donuts every morning on the way to work? Many people do. Do you use a Dunkin Donuts reloadable card to pay for your purchases so that you don't have to be dealing with cash every morning? If you do and you have an AMEX card, here is a deal for you.

Dunkin Donuts has just announced that American Express is the 'Official Card Partner of Auto-Recharge'. Auto-Recharge is the automatic reloading feature on the Dunkin' Donuts Card. To celebrate this partnership they are running a special promotion until March 31, 2010.

Use any American Express Card to sign up for Auto-Recharge, American Express® Cardmembers will receive a 20 percent bonus on each Auto-Recharge transaction of $25 or more. That means if you load $25 with your American Express card, they will automatically load $30 onto the card. An extra $5 for you!

It is especially nice this holiday season if you were planning on giving some a $25 Dunkin Donuts gift card as it now becomes a $30 gift card.

I do feel compelled to mention that this deal works well if you don't carry a balance on your American Express card. If, however, you do carry a balance then you will likely see your savings greatly diminished by the interest charges on the credit card.
