The Year of the Rabbit is just a few weeks away (on February 3, for those of you keeping track) and everyone knows that red envelopes are one of the best parts of Lunar New Year. So we don’t have actual red envelopes for you, but courtesy of American Express, we do have $50 Lunar New Year Gift cards!
American Express® makes it easy to give family, friends, and business associates what they want for the Chinese Lunar New Year, while celebrating the rich culture of the Chinese community. The new limited edition Year of the Rabbit Gift Card, exclusively from American Express, is available for purchase online with a free-shipping offer at americanexpress.com/rabbit.
“Working in collaboration with our internal Asian Network at American Express, we are excited to introduce this Gift Card celebrating Chinese culture,” said Alpesh Chokshi, president of Global Payment Options, American Express. “I, along with American Express, wish the Chinese-American community a happy, healthy and prosperous Year of the Rabbit.”
