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 wonder if some of the people here got real jobs if they would have less time to post so many nasty comments ???
Some people here don't need a real job -  they make a living off of ms/miles/cb bec they have accurate info  :)

Barclayscard offering 4% cash back on American Express gift cards. No fees except shipping $8.95
I received an email from barclays credit card letting me know about a great deal for American Express gift cards. You get 4% back in points on American Express gift cards. No fees but you have to pay $9 for shipping but still 4% is great!

I bought about $2200 worth and that nets me $88 cash back minus $9 for shipping so its $79!

I can use to pay bills, gas, anything. Just make sure you pay it off before 30 days so you don't pay interest but great deal!

HAVE TO USE code FPDAD on American Express site to wave the fee for the cards, still have to pay shipping though.

To get to it log into barclays card credit card account, click "reward boost" to get to deals page, then on the left corner select "gift cards" and you'll see American express.

(this was stolen from somewhere else- (i did not try it)

This has been going for a while. You can also sign up for a free 3 month trial of Amex free next day shipping. Just remember to cancel or they'll charge you $100 for the year.

It should count toward minimum spending. It's 4 points in addition to the two you normally earn if you use the Arrival card. Fair warning - I haven't actually had the 4x post yet, but I'm confident it will.

Cash out however you would normally for Amex gift cards.

Its actually 4x of arrival 'miles'

On Amex it counts towards thresholds on citi it is treated as cash advance

You don't need to use a Barclays card to get the points, correct?
