5 things to get with the $50 Saks credit

If you have the American Express Platinum credit card, don't forget that your current $50 Saks Fifth Avenue credit expires in just a few days on July 1. One of the perks of this card is free $50 to spend at Saks every 6 months. Don't let it go to waste!

Here are 5 ways to spend that credit:

1. Makeup! We suggest the Yves Saint Laurent $50 lipstick set because you can also get an additional free YSL lip gloss with your purchase (retail value $38). If YSL isn't your brand, Saks has everything from Dior, to Estee Lauder to Benefit. 

2. Kids books! They have some great titles, such as Hats of Faith, Good Night, Good Night Construction Site and even tons of huge sticker books (perfect for plane rides!) And with their books priced at just $12 each, choose four of them!

3. Kids toys! Stock up now for an upcoming birthday present for a kid in your life. They have a large selection of unique toys, such as this 115 Piece Glow-in-the-Dark Marble Run.

4. Jewelry! Kate Spade New York has many beautiful pieces at the $50 mark for you, such as these Brilliant Statements Pave Huggie Hoop Earrings.

5. Travel kits! Our favorite is this 7-piece kit from Aesop. It includes hand wash, hand balm, facial mask, moisturizer, lip cream, mouthwash and toothpaste.

And if you don't like any of those ideas, you can always get $50 off an $88,300 Chopard watch , making it only $88,250 :-P
