Nice! Thank you OP - finally an AMEX deal good on my card!
Notes...
Equivalent of 6.67%cb ($20/$300 = 6.67%)
Best way to optimize:
- Buy two $300 gift cards in separate transactions.
- Use them on any normal purchases where your best cashback credit card doesn't have a great bonus. As an example, if you use it on a transaction where you would only get 1% cash back, using the gift card gets you an extra 5.67%cb. If you use it on an Amazon purchase where your amazon card gets you 5%, that's only an extra 1.67%cb.
How to add all AMEX deals to your card:
Use Chrome, on a computer (not mobile)
Go to Amex site.
View all offers.
Copy and paste this Javascript function into the URL:
javascript:btns=.filter(b => b.textContent === 'Add to Card');c=()=>{ b = btns.shift(); if (!b) return; b.click(); setTimeout(c, Math.random() * 300) };c();
Wait a minute or two. The function clicks every button that reads 'Add to Card' and it takes a couple minutes to run if you have 100 offers.
The function is secure. Your amex data is not being sent anywhere.
I have had a similar experience with AmEx gift cards where they get locked or there's a hold that prevents you from extracting full value from the card. Very difficult to use anywhere, and the service is terrible. AmEx outsourced their gift cards to some company and just slaps their logo on it, but the service is outrageous for AmEx standards. I would stay away, not worth the hassle.

I had problems with about 10 Amex gift cards that I never used where there was balances on them 6 months after purchase. They wanted me to contact the merchant and they told me to contact Amex who locked the gift cards but never refunded me on any amount.
Heads up, Amex gift cards are very difficult to use online. I only found one merchant where it was not declined (my utility company)
Maybe try to prepay insurance.
My homeowner's insurance (also auto), if you have a credit balance for more than a week they automatically send you a check. So, just make a payment and get your money back. I did that with the previous AE "pay your insurance bill get $XX" offer a few months ago.
If you purchase an e-gift card, doesn't that bring it to zero fees (using a code), plus 1% cashback on the purchase, plus the $40 back (assuming you buy $300 2x) brings you closer to 7%? Unless I am messing up my math?
I can get automatically 5% back if i pay using PayPal. 600 dollar is around 30 dollar no headache
I echo what others have said, these are near impossible to use.
Some place I have tried tor use the Amex GC from the previous $50 off $750 offer -
1. Pepper
2. BestBuy
3. Utilities
4. Home Depot (use..., even Home Depot)
5. Amazon
These gift cards basically aren't usable anywhere.

My insurer (Liberty Mutual) unfortunately did not accept the card
I just purchased a $300 gift card. I had assumed this gift card purchase would be using up $300 of my available Reward Dollars balance. It does not!
That is unlike every other credit card transaction of store gift cards that I have done on my other Visa/MC credit card accounts. Buying gift cards would be the best way to use up my available points/rewards balance.

Now I'm sorry I did this purchase.
I just realized I can transfer the reward dollars to my balance. Same net effect! Duh!

Best way I've found to ensure you don't have the leftover amount they charge for a hold is to add it to my Apple wallet (or Google if you have that), and then I use it to buy a Verizon GC to pay my cell phone bill. I am able to use up the whole amount without issue that way.
Don't buy these cards. I still have balance from over a year ago. They block Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart for "fraud review" and then it just locks up the card for weeks with preauthorization holds.
Such a scam and an incredible was of time. I finally tied it into Apple Pay and used it at a few restaurants as those were the only places it didn't get denied at.
Please avoid it if possible。
I got 2 digit cards last year(avoid paying shipping).
firs, the email link they sent me went to web page that did not show any card information, I tried IE, Firefox and Chrome on PC, none of which worked. Called them multiple time, due to lack of card information, they just keep telling me wait for the information to show (24-48) hours, Finally, I was able to talk to a supervisor, she suggested to me to use my cell phone。 I tried iPhone safari and it finally showed the information。
2nd, I tried to use to pay online purchase, through PayPal, amazon, eBay, all got declined。 I called them, and they say try again, and declined again。 I found out the only way to use is through apple pay。 Guess what, through apple pay I can only use if for chick-fil-A. I tried to use for Macdonald's and declined also。 Took me almost a year to use it up through apple pay for chick-fil-A。
So, if you are going to buy it, please try to get the physical card, or you like chick-fil-A。
