I’m sure it’s been posted here before but I can’t find where. Does anyone know if the American Express platinum benefit for Saks 5th avenue works for gift card purchases? Or do I have to buy some thing for $50 and then return it for store credit?

You want help defrauding Amex and Saks?

I don’t see how using a benefit is defrauding.

Doesn’t work for gift cards

1. Doesn’t work with gift cards
2. Buying and then returning it usually gets the bonus taken away

I’ve done that twice now. If you buy something from Saks with your AMEX then return it for store credit AMEX will never know. I’m not trying to reverse the charge to score a free $50, I just would rather accumulate the gift cards and buy something nice at a later date.

So the policy says you can’t buy gift cards, but you’ve found a way around it by buying items under false pretenses. But it’s not fraud?

No, they lose the $50 you defrauded from them

OW1 has a stick up his/her ass. I’ve never tried it with gift cards but I usually buy some tiny card case and return it

Then just steal the card case
