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.

Plus, I wonder how Amex themselves treat it.
Amex cards work just fine.

At ATM or register?  I was under the impression that Amex GC's did not work because you could not set a pin.

Just found out. Was not these free GCs. It was ones he paid $5 for at CVS. Loaded at ATM. Made up 4 random digits for
the pin. Interesting...

You don't need to be sarcastic with me here. I've been around long enough to know how you communicate. Q is why does everyone here think AMEX GCs can't load to BB if it clearly worked by this guy.

What's interesting about that? You can see this info in the wiki on the BB thread. 

Eta: Disregard my post.   It seems you're still convinced that your friend used Amex gc's.

Before you edited, I checked the BB wiki and saw that AMEX doesn't work with a pin. So I'm confused - what do you think he used? It was definitely an AMEX, I'm sure he didn't confuse the little logo...

Sure I do or it would not be any fun. AFAIK Amex GC's using a PIN does not work at WM for any type of purchase let alone a BB load. IIRC it will lock the register up sometimes. See how boring that answer was.

Bump.  Any clarification yet?
