I went to buy $500 on a single card and it was not smooth. It took ~25 minutes and I ended up at the Customer Service counter. The staff was very helpful trying to resolve the issue.
In the end, I'm not sure what went wrong, but we swapped out the gift cards a few times before I was successful in getting two at $250 each. It seems the checkout people can't put more than $249 on a single card without management override. The manager overrode it, but we still had issues.
I was initially told it was due to my credit card declining the charge, but I knew that wasn't right and I called Amex to confirm. I really wanted that extra 6%.
It's possible that the original gift card was blacklisted due to multiple attempts, but if I were to do it again, I'd get multiple at $249 each instead of getting one for $500.
I've gotten four $100 cards at the checkout during the Thanksgiving Day sales in the past, so I don't think it's an issue with the total amount.
This will be in Sunday's ad (5/28), so get your cards before the masses arrive.
