Our Verdict
Wow, this is some offer! In a couple of ways, it even beats out the Smart & Final offer.
I wasn’t lucky to find it yet on any of my cards; hopefully you’ll have better luck.
Tips to maximize (in the post-REDbird era):
- Buy Walmart gift cards in $100 increments and resell them for 90% of its value. Total profit per registered Amex card – $100 (20 x 5).
- Buy $500 Visa gift cards at Walmart for $505 (?) and split the charge between 4 separate registered Amex cards. The Walmart POS allows 4 cards in one transaction. [UPDATE: Another report indicates that there is a 2-card limit.] Don’t split-tender using the same card twice since that may not work or it may be combined. Total profit per registered Amex card – $143.75.
- Buy $400 Visa gift cards for $406 at Target and split it between 4 separate registered Amex cards. Total profit per registered Amex card – $142.50.
- Or just go shopping!
