Purchase $75 American Express Gift Card At Simons Mall & Receive $15 Darden Restaurant Gift Card ($7 Moneymaker)

The Offer

  • Purchase a $75 American Express gift card ($3.95 fee) at Simons Mall and receive a $15 Darden Restaurant Gift Card

The Fine Print

  • Limit of three
  • Ends on July 10th, 2016

Our Verdict

Darden gift cards can be resold for 73% of face value ($10.95 cash for $15 gift card), meaning you’d profit $7 per card plus any credit card rewards you’d receive as well. How useful this deal is likely depends if you have a Simons Mall near you and how easy it is to unload low value American Express gift cards.

Got 2 from Ontario Mills in CA. Limit 2 per person. You have to choose the Darden Gift Card at the time you buy Amex GC. Including Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52, Yard House and Red Lobster.

Does this mean limit 2 per person per mall? Per visit? Is this a rebate or you get Darden cards on the spot?

Not sure it is per mall or per visit. But they record my name when I bought Amex GC. And I get the Darden cards on the spot.

Thanks! It seems like its per mall. I doubt they crosscheck against the nation.

I have four Simon Malls in my area and they all run differently in terms of buying gift cards, so I think your assumption is correct.

Amex gift cards do work on Plastiq, I believe.

I have never been to a Simons Mall – do you just go to the main office to get the cards?

The one in Milpitas, CA has a.. lacking better words, customer service stand. One can buy GCs there.
