Amex Gift Cards and Amex financial review
« on: October 22, 2014, 07:15:00 PM »
How much can in Amex gift cards can I buy without triggering a financial review on my Amex Plat Biz?

topcashback is offering 2.25% on purchases today and could be a money maker depending how much you buy and how you liquidate the cards.

For simplicity I was going to buy 2 cards with $3000 on each which cost $6,016.85 (including card fee and shipping) get me $135.38 in cash back. I liquidate those cards on Amazon register at 1.75%, I would net $30.38 and meet my spending theshold.

Personal gift cards have a limit of $5k per 15 days.

What about business

Business is much higher ($75k? I'm not even sure), but YMMV on getting business cards approved without a legitimate business.

IIRC business orders have two different levels of 35k and 75k.
I just found a new supply of forks!
