btw – i`ve been going in store and purchasing £50 gift cards whenever I am in the area and I have always been getting the money back from amex.
Better yet, can just keep loading the same gift card with more cash. Worked for me w/o issue. One small problem is the GCs cannot be used online – only in person in the physical store.
You can purchase the goods online – pay for it – Then call Customer service, give your gift card details, they will then process the refund for you to your bank account.
My experience with this is nearly a year old now. Back then, I could not find a field to submit GC details when paying. A blurb on the GC purchase page confirmed store-bought GCs were not usable online. Could be that the HN website received some upgrades since then.
