Hi all,
I got this card on my birthday; but I cannot use it anywhere; Amazon, app store, walmart, etc. Apparently it is a known issue! do you have any solution for it?
Where can we buy AMEX gift cards these day? I checked the usuals like Shoppers and Canadian Tire and don't see them anymore. Also, are they secure? I've been hearing a lot about VISA/ MC gift card scams.
I redeemed my points for a $100 Amex Gift Card (my biggest mistake) because there was a 20% bonus promo. I tried using it on Uber Eats, Amazon and Rogers bill payment, but all transactions were declined. Then, I cannot check the balance online as it kept showing system error.
I called customer service, they confirmed that my card has locked due to fraud prevention. They asked for my name and address to send a replacement card, which will take 3–4 weeks to arrive via Canada Post.
This has been a terrible experience. Has anyone successfully used an Amex Gift Card at any online merchant?
Got gifted a an Amex gift card but it’s in USD and am presuming it’s only accepted by US retailers... i tried using it to make an online purchase with a Canadian store but it didn’t work.
Anyone know the best/an efficient way to use the card while living in Canada?
