Eiffel Tower Toronto? American Express makes it possible with sponsored art installation

TORONTO, Sept. 29 /CNW/ - Art lovers, travel enthusiasts and rewards junkies will unite for the unveiling of a one-of-a-kind art installation made entirely out of canned goods. On September 30 at the Yonge and Eglinton Centre, thousands of cans will be transformed into a 16-foot replica of the Eiffel Tower to mark the official launch of the American Express Gold Rewards Card™.

The American Express-sponsored installation symbolizes what's possible with this new concept in travel rewards. With double reward point accumulation on everyday purchases like gas, grocery and drugstore, the American Express Gold Rewards Card™ can quickly transform cans into vacations.
