I think the "Gift Card Registry" in Lakewood takes orders.

Is the gift card registry participating this year.  I called them a couple weeks back and they said they wont be participating.

in most cases, you will not receive the statement credit if your transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party or if the merchant uses a mobile or wireless card reader to process it.
See the end of the FAQ for how you can contact AmEx and ask them to find out for sure.

I spoke to Amex and they told me square should be fine. PayPal no and Amz KM wasn't familiar with.
I was just looking for someone with personal experience.

She sent me this email from AMEX;
Hello,

To answer your question as far as if they will receive the credit by being key entered, due to the terms and conditions, no they will not receive the credit being manually entered. The card will physically need to be swiped through the terminal at a physical location.  If you have any further questions please feel free to give us a call at 1-800-235-8916, Monday-Friday from 9am-6pm EST.

Have a fantastic day!

Does it have anything to do with this? (Emphasis mine)

Quote
5. If American Express does not receive information that identifies a transaction as having occurred in-store at a
qualifying small business location on Nov 29, 2014, the transaction will not qualify for the statement credit. For example,
your transaction will not qualify if it is not made directly with the merchant. In addition, in most cases, you will not
receive the statement credit if your transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party or if the
merchant uses a mobile or wireless card reader
to process it.
