American Express Launches Amex Express Checkout - $10 Statement Credit at Select Merchants

Update 3: AMC gift cards can be sold for $6.50 to ABC gift cards so that's another one.  Groupon gift cards can be bought but I don't know if they can sold as eGift Card anywhere.

Update 2:  Within 20 minutes the eGift Card arrived and I immediately sold it to ABC Gift Cards for $7.70.  Very quick transaction!  I tried to buy a second one with a new account and newegg cancelled my order.  They said one order per 48 hours of the same item.  So I guess this will be of limited benefit until we find a new gift card worthwhile to buy.





Update:  Newegg sells Visa Gift Cards (I would buy the $50 version for the greatest percentage back with a $2.99 shipping charge) and other third party gift cards.  I would buy the eGift Cards if possible to save on shipping.
$10 Home Depot eGift Card can be sold to ABC Gift Cards for 77% so you should get $7.70 for free.

Extrabux (My referral link) gives 1.5% cashback and doesn't exclude gift cards from the cashback so you should earn 1.5% extra cashback.




HT: Danny Deal Guru

American Express launched Amex Express Checkout today which allows you to use your existing account information at select merchants.  Just login as you would regularly to American Express' website and you will be able to pay.

Unfortunately, you can only use an American Express card to checkout.

The good news is that they are offering a 1 time $10 statement credit at specific merchants.



Check out the release and Danny Deal Guru for more information.


Here are the details from the release (bolding is mine):

Starting today, Card Members also will get a one-time $10 statement credit per merchant when they use Amex Express Checkout online at BarkBox, Burberry, Ledbury, Newegg, Sabon, Ticketmaster, Warby Parker and The Wall Street Journal through 9/7/15. Terms apply.
