If you've been collecting AMEX points from all of your spending on the excellent statement credit deals they've had lately, (I know I have), now is the time to redeem if you were planning to buy gift cards!

AMEX cardholders (through AMEX directly, no banks) receive a 10% discount off the points required for selected $50 or $100 Gift Cards.

Eligible Gift Cards are:
Best Restaurants
BP
Coles Group and Myer
Harvey Norman
WISH4

UPDATE! Although Amex say the cards are only valid for 3 months, I received my Coles/Myer cards today and they have a 2 year expiry date on them.

T&Cs:
The promotion is valid from the 1st to the 31st August 2014. The 10% discount off points required applies to $50 and $100 denominations only for the following partners: Best Restaurants, BP, Coles Group and Myer, Harvey Norman and WISH. The 10% discount for Harvey Norman and Coles Group and Myer Gift Cards are not available to David Jones Card Members. Gift Cards and Vouchers will be dispatched within 5 business days from the date you placed your order. Lost or stolen cards cannot be replaced, refunded or redeemed. Gift Card or voucher rewards are not redeemable or exchangeable for cash or credit and are valid for a period of 3 months from the date of issue, unless otherwise stated. Normal retailer Gift Card and voucher conditions apply.

  Gift cards will be valid for 3 months? not a lot of time to spend when we still have so many gift cards sitting around.

    Pretty easy for us as we fill up at Caltex/Woolies and use the Wish gift cards for them.

      Well I still have $400 worth of EFTPOS gift card from the Ebay sale and I still want to take advantage of my 5% cashback from ING direct which will expires in about 3 months.

        Or buy a new gift card with your soon expiring gift card(s). Then you get an extra 12 months.

        @YOTR: Can you really do that? I panic when the Wish cards dates get close.

        @anna10:

        I always use Big W gift cards to buy Wish gift cards as they cost less to redeem. So yes you can buy gift cards with gift cards.

        Technically, we are not allowed to buy gift card with gift card. I was prevented from doing it when I asked nicely at Coles.

    It's a bummer that they're only valid for 3 months, but most households spend enough on groceries and petrol every week that you'd get through quite a few gift cards in 3 months. If you've already got some gift cards on the go though it's probably not the deal for you sorry, but hopefully it'll be of some use for others.

      It's still a good deal, just that amex is a bit cheeky to give us only 3 months to spend it

  12,150 for a $100 gift card is not bad if you're going to use it within that 3 months….. alternatively, redeem your points for cash (exchange rate of 12,000 for $100 (http://www.americanexpress.com/australia/campaigns/mrforeign…) for the next time you travel overseas. That's what I do…. :-) [Note - there may or may not be a fee depending on what sort of card you have]

    depends on the actual exchange rate you're getting. Banks are notoriously underselling the foreign currency. Check out providers like https://www.currencyfair.com/ for foreign money exchange.

      I get a really good rate at Amex, but again it depends on your card. If you have a bog standard green job, then the rates may not be so good.
