It’s YMMV for a reason. Back then it was good, now it’s not.

You wrote, “I think you can buy travelers Cheques(can be deposited into your bank) with American express gift cards from local AAA or AmEx Financial Center (YMMV).”

It’s been confirmed that AAA does not do this. Also, I just got off the phone with American Express and they said that gift cards cannot under any circumstances be used to purchase travelers cheques or gift cheques.

So, is the information here incorrect?

Order merchandise from Walmart or possibly other store like best buy or Sears that gives option of paying using paypal and returning merch to store. Using site to store at walmart pick up then return merch at returns counter. your Am ex card info will not be in their system if you paid through paypal. To give you your refund they’ll ask for the card you used give them any debit card and you’ll receive the money in your bank account pretty quick.

Been trying to redeem gift cards for travelers or gift checks, but finding it impossible. My bank, Chase, lets me buy T-checks free, but only for cash from my accounts or in hand. Amex financial charges 1% and still resists the giftcards. Any other options?

Unless I am doing this wrong – it appears that while you can purchase $5000 in gift cards, the largest gift card available is $3,000 (then you have to add other gift cards of smaller denominations; this, of course, isn’t good since AmEx charges $3.95 for activation). Still, this is a very, very sweet hustle. Very impressed.

P.S. Does anyone know if it is possible to purchase a $5,000 AmEx gift card through MrRebates.com?
