DO THEY COUNT AS PURCHASES?
It is confirmed that Citi will consider these as a Cash Advance. They will hit you with a fee AND won't count them toward spending.

HOW TO CASH OUT?
Blue Bird: Amex gift cards cannot be used to load bluebird.
Money Orders: Many locations require a debit card with a PIN; Amex GC don't have a PIN.
Try Amazon Payments, Target Amex or MC/VS GC's from many places.

I know there have been mixed reports of getting MR for AGCs, but it there consensus on them counting towards threshold spending on Amex cards? I have a large amount of threshold spend I need to meet by tomorrow...

does it really take 10 days for them to contact you back about a lost GC?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

'phone206', works like 'phone' to waive purchase fees. I tried a few combos, phone201, phone209, they all worked.

I called them the other day about a GC issue and he gave me Phone311, the shipping is more of an issue than the activation fee.

True, but with the current $10 off $200 Amex offer (avail on all my cards) the pot is much sweeter ;)

Anyone know how the amex gcs process in terms of processing fees?  Are they considered debit cards or credit cards?

Input one on plastiq's site, and see what the estimated fees are.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Do you want to input it on plastiq or amazon, and see if it's treated like debit or credit?
