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 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.
Very interesting

They should, buy you have to be careful with the amounts. A $200 Amex will not have enough of a balance to buy a $200 VGC which costs $206.95 with the fee. You will not be able to split the payment with a Staples GC or a second credit card.

If you buy an AMEX gift card with an AMEX card, will you get MR points?

Yes.
I think you need to qualify that statement. Its Anywhere except from Amex.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Let me qualify it further...I have not gotten MR or CB for ordering Amex GCs from Amex on my PRG, Biz Plat or BCP. If your experience is different, please advise. It has, however, counted towards threshold spend.
