Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is happening now! Follow us as Greg, Nick, and Stephen compete to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines before November 23rd. Who will complete the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
BeFrugal has increased cash back rates for American Express business gift cards to 2%. The next best rate is 1.5%.
If you don’t already have a BeFrugal account, you can find a signup link and many other cool things here.
Notes
- Do not use a promo code to reduce gift card fees or for free shipping since that will invalidate your cash back (the Premium Shipping Plan is fine, though).
- Do not buy denominations higher than $2,000 (see: $2K denomination limit on Amex gift card cash back)
- Do not pay with Citibank credit cards since they sometimes charge cash advance fees.

The last 4 or 5 attempts for AMEX business cards were all denied. I called at the time that they were denied and they couldn’t tell me why. I called again tonight to hopefully preempt another failure and the guy was able to tell me that the card I use to pay is supposed to be a business credit card, not a personal credit card. However, the 1st time I ordered them with a personal credit card, it worked for a $3k order. All the other ones though failed using a personal credit card (amex or visa). The customer service rep said the 1st one was a fluke, it shouldn’t have gone through. Sigh, I guess I have to work harder to try and get a business card.
[…] Hat tip to Frequent Miler […]
I purchased $5000 worth of American Express business custom gift cards but it is coming up as 1.3% or ($66.67 cashback). A bundy of mine recorded the same $66.67 cashback on 1.3% of $5000 valued gcs. Anyone noticed the same thing for their transaction?
I don’t have any success buying the business cards. Even with a real EIN. I think I might try using my social this time.
Just got 6k…….and had to cancel an order for 6k earlier this week as they sent me 2 3k cards with ended up 0 CB at Be Frugal…….my call ended up in India and they indicated I would get my refund in 7-10 days so I’ll be watching that for sure……then I am to cut up the 3k cards…….
