Our Verdict
The Body Shop sells only e-gift cards online, but they do sell physical gift cards in store. According to Gift Card Wiki there are a few sites currently paying 79% for these gift cards (and stock is relatively low at the moment). If you resold a $50 gift card you’d get $39.5 back (and you’d be paying $35 after the $15 statement credit) so you basically make $4.5 per card plus any credit card rewards you’d earn. Probably not worth going out of your way for unless you have a lot of cards, but I’d still add it to your accounts and you can always pick some up if you’re near a physical location.
Update: You can also get an extra 4% back by enrolling the Amex card in the Ebates in-store cash back program.
I’d recommend reading these 12 things you should know about American Express offers if you have any questions regarding them.
