I guess it depends on how they interpret the purchase. Amex can be tricky. Here's some of the language from the terms - "The following do not count as a qualifying purchase: fees or interest charges, balance transfers, cash advances, purchases of traveler's checks, purchases or reloading of prepaid Cards, purchases of any cash equivalents or purchases made in foreign currencies."
I guess I'm just more confident here since there has not been any reports in the past of there ever being an Amex clawback on an Amex offer. All clawbacks in the past have been on people abusing sign up offers or credit benefits that come with a card.
It would be very bad press for them to claw back on as small business that they have listed on their map which doesn't sell anything besides for gift cards. And technically the fluz app doesn't call them gift cards even though in reality that is what they are.
For those who have no idea what the fluz app is, it basically is an app which you use to pay for an item in a store. So for example, if I am going to buy something at Walmart for $22.54, you go into the fluz app, choose Walmrt, and choose $22.54. The app then charges you that amount and gives you a walmart egift card for $22.54. Sometimes, they will even round your amount up and give you a $23 gift card for no extra charge, although the terms and conditions say that people who abuse the round up feature will have their accounts shut down.
