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.

I can't find the premium shipping trial on the new web design, it used to be an option during checkout, but now i don't see it.
Anyone know where it disappeared to?

Do you see the option to sign up for premium shipping just without the free trial?

I had the same thing recently. I was charged for premium shipping. I called customer service and the rep told me, that in three months I should call and they will refund the shipping fee and then charge me again starting a new year.

If I regret an AmEx GC purchase, can I just refuse delivery and assume it will automatically be refunded?
Anyone know?

I don't know what "refuse delivery" means, but you can call Amex and they'll cancel the gift card and refund you.

Just telling the individual delivering it you don't want it and they return to sender

I once had to do that. (I bought Amex GCs with a Citi Exec card to reach that 10k spending threshold they had. Big mistake as Citi codes them as CA.) Anyway, it was not so simple. You need to call Amex.

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Yes but a bit hard.
Try Square for starters.

I paid a closed cell phone account several hundred dollars with over a dozen AmEx prepaid cards that were sent to me as rebates. I hope they eventually send me a check for the credit balance. With these gift cards you buy, you would be dealing with much higher amounts than what I did, but think along those lines for other accounts you can overpay.
