Our Verdict
There have been quite a few offers for 2% cash back recently on American Express gift cards. I hate making purchases on my mobile phone, so I’m going to give this one a miss (I also think the 2.1% offer from Simply Best Coupons was better). The upside to this offer is it looks like you can purchase personal gift cards as well as business and get 2% back. Hopefully this means that 2% (and maybe even more) will become standard for AGC again.
As always, make sure you have multiple methods for unloading these cards. If you don’t already have en Ebates account, consider using my link here if you enjoy the site and would like to say thanks. You’ll also get a $10 bonus once you’ve earned $20.
Hat tip to Miles Per Day
It asked me for SSN. Is this normal? Why is SSN required to purchase a GC?
Prevent fraud most likely.
I just tried it and it seemed to go smoothly for me. I used an iPhone, but not sure if that matters.
I only see a 1% cashback offer.
Are you using the mobile app?
My bad, I was using the website. Thanks!
OMG ordering through the app is a pain in the butt. It freezes continuously and I got timed out twice
