A) Only on Nov. 26. Why do you think otherwise?
B) Any small business (i.e. not chain stores etc.) that accepts AMEX

More info

I think otherwise because last year it was extended.
If its not, then its hard fo shomer shabat people to cash in!

This may help some other people:
I found a place that sells gift certificates to kosher restaurants at a discount, is a small business, and accepts amex: Great Kosher Restaurants

You can look on http://www.koshercerts.com for a list of which restaurants they sell GC's to. I know people who have bought from them and they mail you the same gift certificate the restaurant itself would sell you. The bottom of that link says that the restaurants give them these certificates as payment for advertising for them. They offer a significant discount on many restaurants. As the form says, you need to pay a one-time $5.00 membership fee (one fee per household) which lasts 12 months.

I emailed the guy in charge elan@greatkosherrestaurants.com and he said he would be charging the cards on Saturday night.
I happen to have 17-18 cards and he told me he is charged fees for the credit card processing and would charge $25 to each card if i paid an additional $1.00 per card (he said its only $1.00 extra per card if you are charging 4 or more cards)

All in all, i am paying $27 out of pocket and getting $500 worth of gift certificates. Had i taken my cards to the restaurant itself, i would pay nothing out of pocket, but would only get $425.00 worth. Seems like a $48 net gain to me. Am i missing something?

How are you going to give him all 17-18 CC #s? Over email? And you'll select which GC's you want and he'll just charge the amount of CC until you hit the amount needed?

The Jerusalem Kollel is acccepting donation for SMS. Its an amazing outreach orginization lead by R Berkovits. In fact the psak was that anyone who donates the $25 can then count that as their maaser money (bc he could have spent it elsewhere). So please help out this amazing org.

That's because additional Citi AMEX cards have the same account number as the primary.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

No u missed the point Dan was saying tht since Co branded cards have the same CC numbers for their AU's it doesn't work for the primary and the au vs amex give every au a different CC number

I didn't miss the point, I'm quite on top of it. What I said was, that the charity should of rather said that it's on per account which that includes all cards, because the way they wrote it, I understood that being I am an additional cardholder I cannot take advantage of this even if the primary isn't, When in fact either the au OR the primary could.
