Hi Amex 25$ gift cards costs at least 29 dollars
That’s why you were charged more

I received a $100 dollar card just this past week from reviewing a website. I went to get some groceries today and use it, thank goodness I brought cash as a back up. The card didn’t work, so i went to my bank and asked if they could pull the cash off they said no. I am going to go try an online order, but I fear the same thing will happen to me as described above. What a rip. at least it’s no major loss to me, rather a huge disappointment. I will never use AE again, nor recommend it.

DO NOT BUY THIS CARD!!!
I recieved one as a gift from my boss, tried using it a month after I got it. “No value”!!! Call American Express and was told there is no value and possibly never been activated. An Indian woman who answer the call kept telling “The card is no use, you need to talk to your boss and have your boss call us” give me a freaking break!!!!! Don’t you understand!!! I also saw many posts on the internet with the same problem. Either the merchant or Amex cheat, knowing people will not go back to embarss the giver.
DO NOT BUY and GIVE CASH CARD AS GIFT !!!!!

I got a $25 amex card, it didn’t work online, there was no option when I called to add my name and address so it would work online, although it did give the balance, which was $4 less, although I’ve never bought anything with it. Never using these again. Go with Vanilla Visa.

You know how it says in question 5 that you can’t use your gift card out of the states. I did! I went to Ireland for a vacation and i had a $200 dollar gift card from the money I had saved up for this trip. I brought along a lot of Euros just in case I couldn’t use the card. I went to a shop in Dublin and bought 3 things for about 50 Euro.

I bought these for my sons at Christmas, when they tried to use them, it declined the payment, and said that they were lacking the funds… I called the service reps and they said that there was nothing they could do…now I’m out 100 bucks….DO NOT BUY!
