Our Verdict
They send you a personalized code which is required, so it looks like it won’t be possible to get this deal unless you received the targeted e-mail. I don’t see why anybody who is actually interested in this club would be tempted by a $25 gift card (although I don’t really see why anybody would be interested in this club in the first place).
That being said, this seems to be a pretty easy way to receive a $25 gift card. I’m sure Inspirato will send a lot of marketing material by regular post and e-mail, but it’s not like a time share where you need to sit through a marketing spiel so that’s a plus.
Did you receive this e-mail? If so, let us know what American Express credit cards you have.
Got it and going to sign up with random email address. What’s interesting is that it was for my credit card but somehow went to wife’s email address…
got it on my blue cash preferred. Already been harassed.
I got it, and I’ve been getting their Inspirato junk mail since at least sometime last year. I associated it with my signup for the old blue cash which was the first time I saw amex asked for investable assets in addition to the usual household income number. I assume its so they can segment their customer base for marketing purposes (like this).
Easy $25, but I am not prepared to give my home address to get bombarded by marketing material
