Even if you can load it with Amex, it will (in all likelihood) not earn you any spend points, though you can probably use it towards a spend requirement (albeit possibly risking F/R).
My objective is to reach cc threshold which I am $500 off. You think that will instigate a f/r? I want to use it for my Canadian Amex though which is not attached to that username.
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

We don't even know if the Canadian Amex has F/R. For $500 I'd say go for it, though keep in mind the ATM limits/fees.

Decided to buy Esso (Canadian Gas Station Company) gift cards instead. They charge no fee at all.

Got an email from AMEX saying my cards are on the way :).

From reading this thread I don't see a final conclusion if this offer will work for everyone, even those not targeted. Also a bit nervous because I haven't gotten any email confirmation's of this offer.

So does anyone know if this is legit? If I load $25 on the card I'm getting will I get another $25?

Im pretty sure when I ordered that they would have let me load with my Amex. Can anyone confirm weather it can be loaded with cc? Also do other cards let you load with cc? Are there any promo codes you know of for reg cards?
Amex sold by Target.

I called AMEX to ask about this and only the people that got the initial email from AMEX will get the $25 everyone else will not. Please don't get people's hopes up for a bogus  item and also always double check the promo information before posting!

lol, don't believe everything you hear. I'm not saying it's 100% not true, just that the fact that a CSR said so doesn't mean anything.

I got the same exact thing from a CSR supervisor. I think this time they really mean it.
