I was wondering the same thing, if buying a $1,000 gift card would count as my spending for my 100,000 bonus MR promo I just signed up for (platinum card). Anyone? Would it count as a cash advance maybe?
Check out post 1143:http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milesbuzz/696497-buy-travelers-checks-amex-cc-77.htmlHello. This is Courtney with Amex. The fee for the Amex Gift Card is $3.95 and you do not earn any Membership Rewards points, Rebates, Delta SkyMiles, StarPoints, HHonors Points, TrueBlue Points, or SkyPoints for the purchase of American Express Gift Cards. Hope this helps.
& we spoke about this before in another thread - order gift cards worth $2500 ($2512 if you rush the shipping) and get coins
if the coins are unlimited fine - but if not...& the shipping fee i meant for the coins - i rush mine.
