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.

Why bother with the GC fees and shipping? Why not just use the CC?

Amex Free Gift Card Code (Works Great For US Mint Purchases!)
« Reply #942 on: January 05, 2015, 10:29:18 AM »
I'm purchasing while logging in to a new online account and it is not allowing me a 90 free trial for free shipping, is is charging me $99 right away.
Make sense that it is because the cards are the same name SSN and Bday of the cards in another online account that has already had the trial?

Why not make ~$75 for a few minutes of labor.

Is there a difference between mentioning and discussing?

Back to discussions that are allowed ;):
Did something change with the free premium shipping trial? Think they picked up automatically that both online accounts are the same person?

How exactly would you explain the difference? The portals cause Dan to lose money. He prefers we not help such practices spread. There are plenty of other forums and websites for such

Discussing means a back and forth conversation, with people exchanging information. Merely mentioning something, without responses or back-and-forth, is not necessarily discussion in my book.

IMHO it is like the points thread that was delete. Use common sense and don't take it to far.

I ordered GCs to be delivered to my office. I got a shipping confirmation email today, When I go into the order in my account online is says that the shipping address is the billing address which is my home,  (at the bottom of the screen it does list my work address as a shipping address).

Do AmEx automatically ship GCs to the billing address even if you enter a different shipping address in the order?
