Fee free Am Ex American Express gift cards
 

Holidays are coming, Am Ex gift cards are an excellent way to thank people. If you buy the gift cards (notice I didn't say PASS cards or reloadable cards) you normally have to pay a $3.95 fee per card. I searched and found this:

Now through 12/31/2011 American Express is offering NO FEE gift cards when you use promo code EMOCTWL at check out. The regular fee is $3.95 but act now and get them for free for the holidays. AMX does charge a shipping charge of $5.95 for 2 day delivery but they are also doing another promotion for their “Premium Shipping Plan” which gives you free next day shipping on your gift cards. The trial is for 90 days so make sure you remember to cancel before then.
If you do not want to deal with the Premium Shipping Plan you can also buy online instant gift cards. These new e-gift cards are instantly emailed to you with the card number, security code, and everything else you need to use the card online.

I tried the code and it works. I'm pretty sure it works for any amount of gift cards ordered.

Note that these gift cards are NO FEE gift cards - no reduction in value over time.
That's unusual nowadays. Nice perk.

Caveat: minimum card value is $25. Which sucks because I'm trying to find a place to buy multiple $5 or $10 cards.

a stupid question I am sure, but do you have to have an AMEX card to buy the gift cards?

can we use the citi aadvantage card to buy this to fulfill the spending requirement?

No, you don't need to have AMEX to buy these gift cards.

I have no personal experience but remember reading in some other thread that CITI considers it a CASH transaction.

thank you. I would rep you if i could.

Not sure if we can use the Amex prepaid cards to buy the gift card. I recently got few prepaid cards , loaded them with $25 and got $25 credit as a promotion. It'll be great if I now use the prepaid card to buy these gift cards.... Anyone ?

Free shipping promo was available to amex account holders. I had to pay shipping of $8.95 for $300 worth of gc's
