For gas stations that charge cash and credit prices, using a gift card gets you the "cash" price. Pretty nifty.
Walmart has never been included.
You'd be doing all that loading up on Amazon Gift Cards for just 5%? If that's your approach for Amazon, and you have Prime, I'd recommend just applying for the Amazon Prime credit card (a Visa card from Chase) which gives 5% back on every Amazon purchase anyway, with no dollar limit. (Whereas, Chase Freedom and Discover both limit to $1,500 worth of purchases per quarter for their 5% calendars; anything after $1,500 spent in the quarter only gets you a measly 1% back).
The Prime credit card also occasionally offers sign-up bonuses, such as a $100 Amazon gift card loaded to your account immediately upon approval. You can read up more about it here[amazon.com].
Honestly, for a frequent Amazon shopper who already has Prime, getting that card is a no-brainer. And perhaps more importantly than 5% back, is that since you'd be making your purchases with a Credit card rather than Gift cards, you'd add all the benefits that a Credit card provides which using a Gift card would forfeit (Extended Warranty, purchase protection, etc.)

You can buy gift cards from grocery chains and use them at fuel station, not best option bit still feasible to save that way. I have been doing it at Kroger for such deals.

Looks like I'm buying Amazon gift cards at Whole Foods. Hopefully that's not excluded

I buy GC at Kroger when they have 4x points. $250 GC is $35 off gas plus whatever you earn with whatever CC you use. I don't buy AZ cards as I use my prime Amex or visa for the 5%.

You know I never considered getting an Amazon card. I maximize my cashback with Discover, Chase Sapphire, and Chase freedom flex, but that would be a nice card to have in my arsenal.
