Fee free American Express gift cards – Updated December

Are you looking for an easy way to rack up credit card points, or a way to meet those new credit card spend requirements? A fee free American Express gift card could be the answer. There are many new credit cards out there that require $1,000-$10,000 spend in order to get the bonus points/miles. AMX cards give you the ability to easily meet those requirements with little effort. What makes these cards different is the fact that you can use them as cash anywhere that accepts American Express cards!

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 have bought thousands in these gift cards on my Chase Southwest Airlines, Sapphire Preferred, AMX Gold card, and American Airlines AAdvantage card and they have all counted as purchases (no cash advance fees)!

Also if you use online shopping portals like eBates you can earn 1% cash back. This is a super easy way to make money on gift cards then use them for everyday spending!
