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.

Topcashback says no more cashback on Amex GC's. When did that happen?

Where is a good place to go to now? I wanna stock up my Amex GC's for my final Amazon Payments run.

Read upthread. Amex pulled out of all the shopping portals. Best option now is to buy gc's at staples, drug stores or supermarkets depending on which cc...

This is a real kick. Rumor is that this is a contract renegotiation thing and that it'll be back in a few weeks, but I'm not holding my breath.
Good news.... But not such good news .....

Top cashback is offering 1.5%. Not as good as 3% but better than nothing

Depends how much it costs you to cash out. May not be worth the time/effort.

FSBOSS, officially for business cards, might work with personal.

Hey--maybe my post upthread was worth something?  Now I understand the funny code word 'PHONE' (that is where I heard it, too!)

I tried that one. It only waives shipping (which I can do with the trials) but not the purchase fee

Did "phone" work for you, as srap suggested?
