Purchase A $200 American Express Prepaid Card And Get A $25 Gift Card For Free!

The title is a little misleading

@Jack:
Do explain.

On teh first page tehre is only space for adding one person no more …
where do you add the 2 additionnal names?

i dont see the option of ordering more then one?

@Netanel:
@s:
You have to make another order for additional cards.

Which bank could you take out the 400 $ for free once a month? So is it good if I have to spend money on a cc?

So basically fill the card, get 25 and you can withdraw the 200 a few days later and redposit it into you account?

@love this blog:
You only need to take $200 out to clean the card out.
These have to be funded from a bank account, not a credit card.

@josh:
Correct.
Or buy 3 cards in 3 transactions and make a $75 profit.
Personally I’d wait until getting the $25 bonus gift cards before withdrawing the money though.

I have 5 amex card how many gift cards can I get?

I think what Jack is suggesting is that the title should say something like “Purchase A $200 American Express Prepaid Card And GET A $25 Gift Card For Free.” Without the “get” it can sound like both are free.

@shmu:
1 person can purchase 3 prepaid cards, regardless of how many credit cards they have.

@DCAview:
Indeed, it should say get. Sorry for the typo!

If I reload with the vanilla cards, do I still get the $25? OR does it have to be via bank account?

I just did a single purchase and filed all instructions but did not get any confirmation about a $25 gift card. Please help!

To pull the money out from an atm do they give you a pin number?

@Dann:
If it lets you load it that way then it should work.

@Rosenfeld:
You don’t get a confirmation, that’s why I said to take a screenshot of the page with the offer.

@mark:
Yes.

thanks . I guess I’ll have to stick with Amazon payment for now . Do I need all 3 ss No. ? If I understand correctly it’s (4*25)*3 am I right?

Question: is there a fee to purchase this card? Shipping charges?

@love this blog:
You can get 3 cards under 1 SSN.

@Carlo:
No fees.

As long as i can take out the cash with a pin # at an atm, can I give 3 fake names and D.O.Bs

Where do you see the T&C’s stating “you can purchase 3 prepaid cards of $200 each in the names of 3 people and get $75 of free gift cards.”

Offer expires on June 30, 2012. To receive a $25 Gift Card, (i) you must be an existing American Express Prepaid Card or bluebird (‘Card’) purchaser on or before May 31, 2012, (ii) load $200 or more, at one time, on any single Card during 6/1/2012- 6/30/2012, and (iii) Card must be active at the time the Gift Card is fulfilled.

Dan, should I have been a prepaid card holder before 5.31?

i just bought a prepaid card, loaded it with 200, but i dont see anywhere about the $25 bonus giftcard?!

Can I order all three(separate orders) to my own name and still qualify or do they need to be bought for three different people?

i know this may sound dumb….but how do you take a screenshot image?

Does it have a good purchase protection?

Can I Swipe the gift Card in my bank to withdraw the money?

It says “Limit one(1) offer per card”

Do we get taxed on the $25 gift card??

@mark2:
Use your own imagination.

@Dave:
You get 1 $25 gift card per card and there’s a 3 card limit per SSN.

@josh:
Those are the terms for existing prepaid cardholders that are reloading, not for new cardholders.

@chani:
My instructions say where you should see it.

@Ike:
The 2nd and 3rd card needs to be in someone else’s name.

@jake:
There should be a Prt Scr button on your keyboard. Click it (you may also need to hold shift to click it) and then open up a program like Paint and paste the image there.

Or just print a physical page.

@Andy:
1 per card, and 3 cards per SSN.

@Yitz:
No.

Please explain. If I see the offer why do I need to take a screenshot or print? What do I do with it?

Can I put my own name as 1 of the names? Can I just list 3 children’s names? Can my husband get another 3 on his name & SSN?

Thank You 4 your advice.

@Hello:
You should always keep a copy of every offer you signup for online in case you have a problem getting it honored.

@Mindy:
Yes, yes, and yes.
Enjoy!

Can I put the same email address for all 3 gift cards or do they have to be unique?

@Mindy:
You can put the same email.

One more. Can I use the same mobile Phone Number as well?

@Mindy:
1 person is allowed 3 cards and allowed 1 bonus per card as long as they are for 3 distinct people, there’s nothing you need to hide.

Thanx 4 the info. I’m not hiding anything. It’s just that my children don’t have mobile phones.

How do you withdrawal from a atm and it’s not going to cost me money??

Thank you so much for not only telling us about it….but also helping us step by step (yes, i read all the comments and they were very helpful!!)

Where does it say that 3 cards can be ordered per ssn.

@SD:
Find a fee-free ATM so you don’t get charged on either side.
For CLE/CMH/PIT folks for example GetGo gas stations have these.

@dina:
Your welcome 🙂

@Menachem:
Click on the link in the post, click on learn more, click on FAQs, click on How many cards can I order,

“An adult over the age of 18 may order and manage up to three American Express Prepaid Cards in total (including if one is purchased for him/herself). Each American Express Prepaid Card User can have only one Card in his or her name.”

@Dan: @Dan: where in new york is there such a thing?

@SD:
I don’t live in NYC, but it I did I’d probably know of such a place…maybe someone else will chime in.

Also if when I ordered. The card and I didn’t load 200 dollars when the card comes can I load it then and get the 200 dollars or it will be to late and I should call amex and give them my conformation number and they will load it for me so I still get it? Thanks Dan

@SD:
The terms state “To receive a $25 American Express Gift Card, you must load $200 or more at the time you order an American Express Prepaid Card.”
But feel free to call.

Hi,
Thanks for all your amazing deals!
What do you mean under “terms for new card users” that the “Card must be active when offer is fulfilled.”?
Thank You!

@yankel:
It means you can’t cancel the card before getting the $25.

Just reporting. If you make a Card for a child, the child has to be above 13 years of age.

Do I have to be a existing Amex customer? I have no Amex cards!

@Dan:

See here for free ATMs: http://www.allpointnetwork.com/

Hi Dan,
If my 2 kids who are aged 3 and 1 each have a savings account with their name and a savings account number attached to is, do you think I can order 3 additional cards under their name and account or because they are under a certain age it wont let me? Their ss numbers are attached to their savings accounts which is linked to my bank account

Just got my answer from Mindy.. i guess you have to be above 13 years of age. thanks

dan please confirm, a normal family should be expecting $150 in gift cards? (hus/wife-3 each)

Thank you!! 🙂

Can you use any name on page 1? Can it be a child? If not, why not?
I am trying to figure out how we can get three for husband, three for wife – but we have little kids only…
Thanks.

I don’t have any amex cards due to a financial review that I flunked 🙁 .
If someone has an amex and they aren’t doing this deal, it be great if you would let someone like myself use your cc for the offer.

@deal lurker:
Why do you need an AMEX to do this deal?

@deal lurker
Like Dan implied, you don’t need an existing AMEX credit card for this. A pre-paid card is different than a credit card in that they don’t need to do credit checks. I had a pre-paid amex card before I was able to get approved for a real card. I didn’t use it much since there were no point benefits but iirc it did offer the same purchase protections and extra year warranty as a regular amex credit card

if my wife uses her ss # and also signs up for the 3 cards is it okay if she uses the same bank that i used which is under my name?

Dan –
Can you explain whether we can use any name (or even make up a name) for the card (not for the purchaser, but for the other two cards)? Can it be a child? If not, why not?
I am trying to figure out how we can get three for husband, three for wife – but we have little kids only…
Thanks.

There is a box that you need to click that says that you understand that you don’t get a actual card just electronic so how can you take out $$ by an ATM?

dovid you will get a card..

can you withdraw the money through amazon payments ?
and if yeh can it be don like a debit card wich is unlimited or onlly like a credit card limit1000 a month?

what names are people using for the 2nd and 3rd cards? I am confused.

Hey folks,

Does anybody know if 7-11, Kmart or Walmart are considered Groceries to qualify for Chase Freedom’s 5 UR Points per dollar? It would help me if it were because then I would pick up a green dot pak at my 7-11, get bonus points, and not have to pay a fee (first time using green dot is free) plus get a $25 dollar gift card! Please let me know if you have purchased groceries at one of those places.

“You can withdraw up to $400 cash from a prepaid card at an ATM once per month without any fees!” does this mean once per month per person or per prepaid card?

Also, “Card must be active when offer is fulfilled.” Does this mean that I should not deplete the card until I use my $25 gift card?

@mark:
Yes.

@josh:
Needs to be for someone 13+

@rcarentals:
Of course.

@yisroel:
Don’t see why not.
Probably can run it as debit.

@josh:
Any you want.

@Moshe:
If the Walmart sells groceries it should work there.

@sara:
Once per card.
I would wait to get the $25 GC before emptying it though you may not need to.

would you be able to go into a branch and do a cash advance by a teller in order to avoid an ATM fee? would this work on such a card?

Got an email from them today saying:

Dear Customer,

Thank you for enrolling your bank account as a funding source for the Card.

In order to verify the bank account you enrolled, we recently sent two small deposits to that account. Please check your online bank statement for two deposits from “American Express Prepaid Card” and then verify your account by following these steps:

Log in to your existing account online, or create a new account.
After logging in, you will automatically come to a deposit verification screen.
Input the two deposit amounts and click “Submit.”

I have no idea what this means!

I do see the two deposits but also a withdrawal equal to the two deposits.

Which account do i log into to “Submit” these deposits?

At my bank account the deposits are pending and dont see any option to “Submit.” And i see nothing on my AMEX account.

Dan, please help!

Everytime I try to fill out the forms it gives me an error, saying the address cannot be used. I have tried several different addresses. Am I the only one with this issue?

Dan, please, how do i proceed?

@Mendy: you log in to your American Express Prepaid Card account and over there submit the amounts of the 2 deposits from your bank account

Can I be both a purchaser and a cardholder for a different purchaser? Specifically, can I do the following:
– Order two cards with me as the purchaser for both cards, and me the cardholder for one card and my wife as the cardholder for the other
– Then order two cards with my wife as the purchaser for both cards, and me the cardholder for one card and my wife as the cardholder for the other
?

Thanks

For all of you who are trying to open an account to verify the 2 deposits.

Go to:

http://www.americanexpress.com/prepaid

Then click on “Set Up Account”

Hey, I already have an amex prepaid card. Can I load $200 + $200 + $200 on to the same card?

Thanks Dan and Hello!

By mistake I ordered all 3 cards under the same name. The orders went through…so does that mean it’s okay?

Also it did not stop me from ordering more than 3 with the same SS#

@Dan: Dan question, just so I understand! If I use my Credit Card to buy thses Amex Prepaid Card for $200.00, I will get a prepaid card for $200, plus $25.00. Your saying that you can take out the $200 from the prepaid card at no fee right? So I can take the $200 from prepaid and pay my credit card right??? So besides getting $25.00 per $200, you get FREE MILES!!!! Please do answer and let me know if I’m correct!! Thanks,

Does this prepaid card help build credit? I know some prepaid cards do.

@Dan: Please repsond to my question!!!

You cannot fund the card with a CC.

It’s with a bank account only!

Can my wife and I use the same 2 children?
Thanks

Do I need separate emails for each user?
Can I use the $200 Amex card until I receive the $25 gift card? Or are you suggesting not to withdraw in cash the $200 until you get the $25 gift card?
and is this gift card as good as $200 in cash at any place that takes AmEx?
Thanks

Thanks

could I do this offer on a preexisting prepaid card or do I need to open a new card?

I am new to this. Why is this not a scam? I am giving my social security # and my bank accounts. This sounds too good. Can’t people make a fake amex website and scam everyone?

@judah
When you apply for a chase cc, how do you know it’s not a scam?
Lmao

@Dan, Can i make 2 new cards with all the same info Except for the name of cardholder ???? Thnx

any way the gift cards can get shipped to a different place than the cards? or does it automatically go to the purchasers address?

Where in NY can we find a fee free ATM?

Can I withdrawal even if I didn’t get my gift cards yet the 25 dollars that is?

@Sholom:
You should be able to, though to play it safe you may not want to until you get the free gift cards.
I just wanted to test it out on one of my cards to make sure it worked without a hitch.

I ordered a card for my husband under my user account.
Now that I ordered 3 cards under my name, can I order another 3 cards with my husband as purchaser.

It’s probably safe to withdraw the money before you receive the gift card just like you can make a purchase before you get the gift card

@Hannah:
Yes.

@Avi:
True, but I’m going to wait it out on my other cards.

The T&C does say the prepaid card account must be active to receive the bonus gift cards. If you withdraw everything and they decide not to send you the GC they are correct to do so. But they might send the GC anyway.

I would withdraw all but $1.

According to that allpointnetwork site it seems that most (all?) 7-eleven, Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS, and McDonalds have fee-free ATM’s. I assume almost every city in the US has some of these stores (though perhaps they don’t all have ATMs).

you mentioned that you took out the 200 dollars already but didn’t you write in the comments that you were going to wait till you got the gift card?

@la:
I took one for the team on one of my cards to make sure that it worked at an ATM without any fees at all.

@Dan
thank you that was kind of you!

[quote]-Card must be active when offer is fulfilled.
[/quote]

Dan, don’t you have to wait for the $25 gc before withdrawing the $200?

I just noticed that la asked the same question and you answered her. Thanx for TOFTT!!

@Ben: do u already got a answer from some one? cuz i want to do the same thing

@Ben: ben’s comment is #73

just use any name and bday for the card user, you dont need to put a social for them after all.

related to this: I have a few amex gift cards that were given to me. Is there a way to withdraw that money for cash?

Where did you find a free fee ATM???

Thanks Dan!

people reported that allpoint charges $3 for Amex Prepaid card withdraw..

I just went to a 7 eleven store to withdraw cash. The machine said it will caost $2.95. So I didn’t withdraw cash. I called the 800# and I was told that only if you have an ALLPOINT CARD is the transaction free. I called the Amex # on the back of the card and they also said to withdraw cash is free on their part once a month. Where ever I take out the cash, they will charge me. So I took out $100 cash at a chase ATM and I will get charged $3. So what’s up with this. ????That is not how this is being ‘s answerspromoted. Looking forward to hearing from everyone

if i have addl authorized users for my sons can they also get the 3 separate pre paid card
tnx

After you withdraw the money do u need to call to cancel the card

ATM FEE-FREE LOCATER

http://locator.allpointnetwork.com/SearchResults.aspx

allpointnetwork.com does not provide fee free atm machines for everyone. it is only fee free if you pay to become a allpointnetwork customer. SO.. does anyone know an atm in ny, specifically queens or any surrounding area where there is a fee free atm that we can withdraw the money at? Dan, what kind of atm did you go to that was fee free?

FYI, I just did 4 of these offers, so hoping to make $300 from this. For those wondering, I needed to use a different bank account for subsequent orders, which means that I used a total of 4 different accounts. I did receive the online order confirmation, but no email confirmation yet. Also, for those wondering, it seems that this has nothing to do with being an AMEX card holder or not. AMEX is just the one offering this promotion.

IIRC signature bank atm’s do not charge fee’s. Trust but verify. They have physical branches in NYC, Queens, Brooklyn, SI, etc…

Im trying to find fee free atms as well. I called American Express and they say they don’t exist. Dan any national names I could try?

Thanks

I just called signature bank and, turns out, they recently started charging a fee at ATMs in NY. I am still hunting for a fee free ATM in NYC. If anyone finds one, please post it.

I cashed mine out with no fees at a GetGo gas station.

GetGo doesnt exist in NYC. It’s really weird that I cant find a single free ATM in NYC. Im so surprised.

i tried several times with different browsers and it wont accept my address. I tried both using the same address as the user and using a different address and it did not work. any advice?

I can’t get past the first page in the purchase process. I did once and it locked up and never got to purchase even one. I’ve tried deleting history and cookies, rebooting, inPrivate browsing, new browser.

OK, I called and the nice USA based rep says that they know they are having issues with the website as some maintenance is happening now. Give it some time and try again.

@Dan: Dan how long did it take to get the $200.00 prepaid cards??

Does anyone know how long it takes to get the $200.00 card??

@Mendy: I got my first card 12 days after ordering it. I confirmed the deposits to my bank account almost immediately after I received them.
If you order additional cards after your bank account is confirmed, those may be delivered sooner than 12 days after the order.

Does anyone know of a free ATM in Lakewood?

Regarding an ATM. If you go to corner store they will charge $1.50 and you can take $10 bills so you can take out 190. Then you can spend the rest in a store.

all pnc atms quickcheck wawa cvs etc

I spent the two hundred dollars on purchases and my card is now a t zero balance. Do I have to close the card to get the 25 dollars?
Should I not use the cards completely for purchases till I get the 25 dollars?

Are the terms for the new offer the same? ie. 3 cards per person…

hi dan,

if i did the 200/25 offer can i also get the 50/10 offer on my name or the same person cant do both?

Does anyone know what the story is with all point ATMs and also if there is a specific one in Brooklyn that dosnt charge any fees??
Thanks

Are all the details on the 50/10 deal the same(, 3 names on card per purchaser)?

whoops, same q as above 130

@Bing:
When you use your ATM card issued by a bank that has told you that you can use Allpoint ATMs for free at an Allpoint ATM, that’s when it is free. If you are using any other ATM card or credit card, expect the fee posted on the machine to be added to your withdrawal amount. I did not see any indication that the American Express prepaid card can be used for free at Allpoint ATMs, so expect the fee posted on the machine to apply.
http://www.allpointnetwork.com/faq.html

I wonder if this ATM is still open:
http://www.freeatmsnyc.com/

I don’t know of any other free ATMs in Brooklyn. Can anybody suggest one? If not free, what’s the lowest ATM surcharge you have seen in Brooklyn lately?

if i did the other offer 200/25 can i do this one????

If I Made The 200/25 Can I Make The 50/10 Please Anser Me I Want To Make It!

Email received from AMEX … “Dear *********, Thank you for choosing the Card. Unfortunately, we could not complete your order for the following reason:

We could not verify your order information and cannot approve your order at this time.Your order exceeded purchaser limits either by quantity, dollar value, or both for the allowed time period.We could not verify your order information and cannot approve your order at this time.

If you feel that this was caused in error, please call us toll-free at 1-866-207-7970. If you would like to attempt to order the Card again, please visit us online.

Sincerely,
American Express Customer Service”

Seems like they have caught onto this … anyone else get this message?

My order for a $50 card was also rejected. I had ordered a card for myself as part of the 200/25 promo. Obviously, I am keeping that first card active so I could get the $25 gift card.

Dear *****,

Sincerely,
American Express Customer Service

From the FAQ:

How many Cards can I order?
An adult over the age of 18 may order and manage up to three American Express Prepaid Cards in total (including if one is purchased for him/herself). Each American Express Prepaid Card User can have only one Card in his or her name.

I found a fee free ATM in Lancaster PA at a Sheetz gas station (next to the Eden Resort). I believe it was a M & T Bank ATM. Maybe this helps somebody heading out there.

anyone know of a free ATM for these prepaid cards in Brooklyn NY

Got my 2 gift cards over shabbos. Waiting for two more. Thanks Dan!

Yey!! I got my first $25 gift card in the mail today!

I received 3 gift cards last week!!!!! thanks a lot DAN!!!

Took my $200 prepaid card to an ATM from the list on the Allpoint network website. The website says this ATM is surcharge free. Yet they tried to charge a surcharge and declined the transaction. Any suggestions where to find a surcharge free ATM in the Five Towns area?

Now this is takeh ah metziah! Thanks Dan!

Alive Again? Does that mean we can get another $25 per account?

@Ben:
You will get $25 every time you open and fund a new card with $25. Though they may not let one person get more than 3 prepaid cards.

If i did this same offer in June, will they allow me to do it again now?

how long does it take to get the $25 gift card, i sent it out at the end of June

Thanks, Dan, for all the great deals you find us.

Everyone please be careful.

ATMs (at least in the NY area) charge a fee to withdraw funds. If you put $200 into one of these Amex prepaid card, and want to withdraw cash, the ATM will not allow you to withdraw the full $200. It will only allow you to withdraw $180, because it will charge a fee (usually around $3-$4). You then will need to spend the remaining balance on the card ($16-$17) in a store. Or maybe you should put $203-$204 into the account initially so you can withdraw the $200.

Has anyone found fee free ATMs in the NY area?

Never recieved gift card? I ordered 5 in 2 dif. Accts.

@TtcommentT:
Try calling them at 1-866-207-7970. A DDF’er did that and got the credit that way.

@Ed: Just fill up the prepaid card with 203 $

Just purchased 3 under 3 different names, thanks Dan!

Also, I used my Citi checking account to purchase the first two, but when I tried using my Chase checking account to purchase the 3rd card, it wouldn’t let me and said, “This isn’t the checking account you normally use to purchase these cards.”

Is that normal?

does anyone know where there is a free fee atm in monsey to withdraw cash from amex prepaid giftcard

Will I get a pin from Amex? In order to withdraw from ATM, one needs a pin.

@Jake:
They will mail you a pin in a separate envelope.

@dan thanks

@jake u can check pin online

Here is the deal for those people who already did this deal in June. I just got off the phone with Amex after reading the FAQs on the Amex Prepaid website. Here is what they say:

How many Cards can I order?
An adult over the age of 18 may order and manage up to three American Express Prepaid Cards in total (including if one is purchased for him/herself). Each American Express Prepaid Card User can have only one Card in his or her name.

This means that if you already ordered 3 cards last month, you can’t order 3 more until the old cards are all used up and cancelled off from your account. This is key: you can only manage 3 cards at a time, so cancel the 3 cards you ordered last time before ordering 3 more.

if i already did the 200$ the first time can i do it again with the same social security number and what about the same bank account

@umsilver:
Obviously wait for GC’s to come which is 6 weeks from the order. But to cancel the card – do I just withdraw all the funds or do I have to actually call them for each card and cancel it?

@Anonymous: You actually have to call in and cancel the card.

I am curious if anyone will be able to get this promotion again or if amex will deny people. They told me a lot of people are taking advantage of this promotion.

is it 3 per a bank account or per a person

Dan – what is your take on all of us who took advantage of this deal in June? Is it correct what ppl are saying? What exactly do we need to do to take advantage of this deal again?
Thanks

I know there are no fee free ATMs in NY but does anyone know if there are any in NJ?

I also asked Amex about canceling your cards if you haven’t yet received the $25 bonus from the last promotion. If you cancel the card, you won’t receive the $25 bonus gift card. The card needs to be active in order to receive the bonus gift card.

If I ordered 3 cards, am I supposed to get 3 emails to verify 3 different deposits? I’ve only received one email to verify bank deposits so far.

i tried 4 different names on my account and it did work so i think that it works more than 3 times

i found a way to save the atm fee:
if you wait until you get the gift card, and then cancel the card with the balance still on the card, amex will refund the balance back to your bank account.
upside- save the atm fee.
downside- may take up to 15 days (i don’t remember if he said business days) to get back to your bank account.
verify this with a rep- this is what the rep just told me.
Good Luck!

Has anyone received the gift cards yet from the last promotion? Still waiting…

@ Dan
so heres my question, if i already got this promo previously on three dif cards, can i now reload them and get $25 for each again?

hey dan i live in lakewood and we were all looking for a free atm would you care to point us in a direction?

Can you buy the card with my Amex CC or it has to be from a bank account?

How can I find a fee free atm machine?

If i did this back in June and still have the card can I just load $200 on it or do I need to buy a new card to get the $25?

Does this card help u build credit w american express??

@dginz:

search for wawa’s they dont charge atm fees

i went to a few “fee free atms” and everytime they try and charge me? any ideas?

can i order one for wife and she order one for me?

I did this deal in June, and purchased 3 $200 cards. After 6 weeks of it being active, i still did not receive the gift cards, so I called american express and they added $25 to each of my 3 existing cards. Later that very day, I received 2 $25 gift cards in the mail!!! I’m not sure why I didn’t receive the 3rd, but I don’t understand how the rep didn’t see in his system that the cards were sent out. Anyways, I made $125 on the deal!!!

Thanks!!!!

I would definitely advise if they offer the deal again, load $203 on each card, so that way you can take out $200 from the atm even if they charge the $3 fee. I had to take out $180 and I was left with $17 on each card. Which I used up, but it would have been more convenient had I loaded $203 on each.

ATM at Costco only charges $1.25. You can use the balance on a store purchase.

There is a quickchek in hackensack NJ that has a PNC bank ATM machine that is fee-free. I used it myself with no problems. It is located off route 4 right near Teaneck.

@joel
quickcheck on new Hampshire and route 88 has free atm.

Question for Dan:
I signed up for 3 cards for what I thought was the 200/25 deal in June. I forgot about verifying the miniscule amounts they had deposited in my accounts for a couple of weeks. When I verified them everything went smoothly. I just received my gift cards in the mail, but they were for $10 rather than the $25 I had expected. Why do you think they did this? Did the deal change inn the interim? Would I only qualify for the deal at the time I transferred the $200 to the cards rather than the deal at the time I signed up? Thanks.

@Pinny:

Same problem here, i did this deal when it was $25 but only got $10 gift cards in the mail

UPDATE:

Shortly after I received 3 $10 gift cards (as I posted in #186 above), I received 3 $25 gift cards. So in the end I have 2 gift cards per original card I had signed up for: $10 + $25 = $35.

No more complaints here.

I have not received my gift cards. It has been more than 6 weeks. Anyone has the same experience?

I just called Amex (# on back of card) and spoke to Indian guy who added the gift card amount to my original prepaid cards.

I also did not receive the $25 gift card. I called the # on card — was on hold about 15 min. But then they researched it and added $25 to my $200 prepaid card.

just spoke to a person at amex, he refused to send me the $25.00 gift card, claims the offer stated that the money was to be transfered to the new card before the end of August, even if i applied for the card in August, and i got a confirmation from amex on August 30, that is a nice catch, because the funds were not transfered only on September 9th, oh well i guess it is not bashert
