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.

The code works on AMEX photo gift cards where you download the photo.  They take a week or more to ship.

If you are talking about the Amex gift card code, it works for any gift card on the site.  I used it to order the gold ones with the ribbon.  Sign up for a trial of the premium plan they offer, and next day shipping is free as well.

Go back and read the post in this thread.  You use the code above, in conjunction with a 90 day free trial of the expedited shipping and you'll have cards sent fedex with no fees

I received the code in an email this morning, after reading the t&c out looks like it might be targeted to me thru the link only

Will buying these gift cards count as spending to reach the spending threshold of Amex, Chase, and Citi cards?
Also, when do they expire?

That's precisely the point....but really, it just speeds up meeting the threshold, as you can only use them where you would use a CC anyway.  But if you need to meet a deadline and you are $XXXX short, it's a quick solution.

Thanks, I hope you're right.....I don't seem to have another way to reach numerous spending thresholds (i.e. Amex Plat, Chase Sapphire Preferred).

As far as anyone knows, buying American Express Gift Cards will still count as spending to reach my spending threshold?

Through June 30th promo code EMMOTCM2 waives the purchase fee.

When I try buying Amex gift cards, I'm getting asked for my company name and tax ID.
What's going on? I'm just buying them for personal use.
Anyone know what to do?
Thanks.

It's also asking for "Company address of record".
What's going on? I can't order an Amex GC without a company name?
