Get Trees for Your City Using Your American Express Card

American Express® is giving its cardholders a chance to win up to $300,000 worth of trees for their city with the ‘Root for Your City’ contest, going on until October 31st.  How it works is simple: look for participating merchants in your area on the American Express® website, or watch for the tree icon in-store. Pay for your purchase with any American Express® Card to ‘vote’ for your city.  The city that gets the largest amount of votes wins a $300,000 tree-planting grant, and the second through eighth place cities will each receive $100,000 toward planting trees.

Find participating businesses in your area today and you can help green up your city simply by making purchases.  The merchants participating include jewelry stores, shoe stores, furniture stores, movie theatres, museums, restaurants, clothing boutiques and even acupuncturists and fish markets.  The cities participating include Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, NYC, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
