American Express gift card overview
An American Express gift card is a prepaid card that can be used at merchants that accept American Express, online and — for physical versions — in store, within the card's own terms. It is a flexible gift when you don't know which store someone prefers.
The card is issued under American Express's gift card program, which sets activation, any purchase fees, acceptance and usage rules. GiftQubes shows the region and currency before you pay; follow the activation instructions delivered with your card and keep the card details private.
