A Creative Airline Credit Card Display
This past weekend Kim and I stopped by Eataly after having lunch at Shake Shack. We went to Shake Shack to try out the special menu for Shacktoberfest. (Check out my post about it here.)
Eataly is an Italian food market that also has many restaurants inside.
While walking through Eatalay I spotted a really creative credit card sign-up display. The display was for the Alitalia American Express card. It was primarily made up of a plane fuselage (body), which is what caught my eye.
No, I did not sign up for the card but I had to check out the display. Besides having a plane fuselage, it also had a couple of touch screen computers which were linked to the Alitalia site. I am pretty sure you could apply for the card from the computers on the spot and find out info about Alitalia.
There was also a pretty large sign showing the terms for the Alitalia American Express card.
I was wondering if people actually signed up for this card while wandering through Eataly?
I mean the display was really cool but where was the mention of a nice bonus miles offer for signing up for the card!

Vente-Privee: Amex cardmembers get $25 statement credit
***This is not travel related but seems like a deal worthy of mentioning…
Vente-Privee is a joint venture between subsidiaries of American Express and vente-privee.com. Each day the site runs sales of up to 70% off in categories like fashion and homewares to sporting goods and electronics.
By signing up for an account, American Express Cardmembers can receive a $25 statement credit with first purchase of $50 or more when using a qualifying Amex card.
I’ve checked the site a few times and none of the sale have been of any interest but for that kind of offer I am going to try to check back each day to see what else gets added.

Enjoy a complimentary cocktail, glass of wine or beer just for showing your JetBlue Card from American Express on select JetBlue flights.
I checked the website mentioned and did not see what qualified as a select flight. Offer is from Nov 1- Dec 31 2011. Sounds like a nice perk to me if your flight qualifies. Cheers!
