AAA Amex gift cards fee free
« on: December 14, 2012, 11:03:21 AM »
Just in case you need to spend a more on your Amex for points and you're an AAA member and pick them up, AAA is offering fee free American Express gift cards. Use code AAA201.
Here's what it says:
American Express

American Express Gift Cards and Gift Cheques are accepted at millions of merchants worldwide and are refundable if lost or stolen.

Gift cards are preloaded in denominations of $25, $50, $100, $200 and $500.

American Express gift cards can be purchased online here or at a branch office.

Exclusive Member Benefit: The purchase fee is waived when you buy 5 or more AMEX gift cards in a single transaction. Must use promo code AAA201 when prompted. (valid 11/15/12 - 12/31/12)

Amex GCs can't be used to load BB, RedCard or Serve, so they're not really in demand much here.

MidAtlantic AAA doesn't appear to include NY.   :(


Where is it $2?  On line it says $4.95 in person, $6.95 on line.
