The Offer
- Shopping portal Topcashback are offering a 6% bonus when you choose to cashout with an American Express gift card until March 19th, 2017.
The Fine Print
- Valid 03/06 – 03/19
- You must have a U.S. address to be able to request your cashback by via Amex gift card.
- There is a $20 minimum load to the Amex gift card, and a $1,000 maximum.
- The Amex gift card does not expire but has a $3 per month service fee after 12 months if there’s still credit/balance on it – so ideally you should spend your credit within 12 months to avoid the charges. (Some states in the U.S. prohibit cards with service fees, so these ones will receive a different card with no service fee.)
- You can’t reload the card, so once you’ve spent the credit on it you simply throw it away and request another one.
- The card will arrive with the credit already on it, so you don’t need to confirm you’ve received it before it is loaded.
- The card should arrive approximately 7-10 days after you make your payout request.
Our Verdict
Bit of a hassle to unload, but might be worth it if you have a high cashback balance and can unload without too many difficulities. This isn’t the first time they have offered this bonus, so if you like to cash out this way it might be worth waiting in the future for this bonus to roll around.
