Amex Free Gift Card Code (Works Great For US Mint Purchases!)

[smurf]

I was hoping for a much shorter shelf life. Buy cards, let 'em expire, pick up the cash.  I can't wait 7 years to get the money back. There's got to be an easier way.
And judging by earlier posts, it seems like calling in and saying I don't agree with the TOS is no longer working to get the money back.
So... is this pretty much a dead device?

For a 2.75 percent hit you can use the squareapp

A fine way to get yourself banned from both Amex Gift Cards and Square.

It's not dead, but not everyone can utilized it - if you spend lots of money, its a good way to bump up your reward level. If you don;t but are wiling to prepay a bit because you will spend it anyhow, you can also use them for spend requirements...

I guess they must like me.

FWIW I just tried to order today - PHONE is dead when used via a cashback site. REFER100 still works.

Anyone here have problems with that?

Looks like here's another code: EMDADWL

Just tried. Does not work through a cashback site....

[recklessmax]

Not sure if the free trial is around. I am banned so it no longer does me any good. One way to churn the free trial is to add AU’s. They each would get a free trial. You can also get free trials for each Amex card you have + AU’s for that card. A lot of fee free codes are now not working with cash back sites but work when placed directly with Amex. One that seems to be working for both is REFER100.

How can you get free trail for each Amex you have . I believe u need to have a distinct amex login to get another free shipping trail
Not sure how you can create another amex login for a different card. Right now all my cards show under one login id

Please provide details

And here's a new AMEX Gift card code for the DD forum -- I've been following for some time, just now starting to contribute to forums.  Sorry for the delay, guys.

EMOCTWL

I appear to have been unofficially banned from buying Amex gift cards as of mid October...

AMEX Gift Card Site

Use code: EMSVCA (Exp: 01/31/12)

use with 3 Month Free Shipping Trial.

<Edit by Dan: Updated with new code>

I just used the EMSCVA code (on 11/21/2011) and it worked fine -- removed the $3.95 charges from each gift card I ordered.

[JEWDA]

Just tried it says: We're sorry, but the Promotion code you entered is not valid or has expired. Please check to make sure that you entered the correct Code.

Did you order directly from Amex or did it work going through a cash back site?

Code worked fine -- and I got the same code in my confirm email to use for the next purchase...make sure you didn't enter any spaces in error - it bounced on me the first time, and I didn't realize I had a space before the first letter....

Here's the bottom of the email I got from AMEX yesterday to confirm the order...

Looking at my original post, I switched the 'V' and the 'C' in the code as I wrote it....the original code in the prior post os correct, as well as the quote from the AMEX email in my last post.  Sorry for the error...

[Fan of Dan]

thanks for the code!

I need to spend 2,500 in next three days to get my chase saphire yearly bonus on the 50k in points.  Any ideas - the only one I could think of is amex gift cards but I don't if any of those free codes are still working.
