Using Amex points?

[bethsg]

I Have a ton of AMex points, I have been trying to search and see that Target is no longer an option; but is there a way to use my Amex points to get Disney Gift Cards?
WHat if you use AMex to buy Sams CLub gift cards? Can you use Sams club gift cards to buy Disney Gift cards?

Sam's Club works. Walmart also works. You can also use your points on Amazon if you link your card as a form of payment. If you have a Safeway grocery store near you, it's been reported that you can use a Safeway GC to purchase a Disney GC.

Thanks. I don't have a Sam's membership; any idea for Staples? I can get Staples GIft cards with Amex point; and then can i used the staples card to buy Disney Gift Cards?

No. Staples does not permit GC -> GC purchases.

my amex card lets me apply the points to my amex card as a statement credit and the exchange rate is the same as if i had bought a gift card so if yours works the same way you could get the statement credit posted and then turn around and buy a disney gift card with no middle man.

the best use of your Amex points is for airline miles and mainly international but still ok for some domestic --Google best use-- there are some gift cards that have 1 cent value per point but mostly places like olive garden and chains of the like.... otherwise you will mostly get .5 cent per point in which case just take a statement credit and buy the gift cards at Target.

We use our Amex points for airfare to get to Disney. Not exactly Disney gift cards, but it helps. One year, we had so many points that we added on 5 nights at Bonnet Creek resort to our OKW vacation (went through Amex travel to book).
