Get Paid to Close a Credit Card Account

Yahoo Finance has the news, “AmEx paying card holders to close their accounts“.

What an odd thing. Certainly, a sign of our times. American Express Co is apparently offering a limited number of card holders $300 if they will pay off their balances and then close their American Express accounts.

So, if you’ve got an AmEx card you’re not using and don’t mind trading it in for $300.00, you might call the 800 number on the back and see if they’ll buy your account.
