1. sync your amex for the $25 off deal
2. buy ~$260 less worth of gift cards that you actually need (hopefully at Kohl's)
3. use the gift cards and charge ~$260 to your PRG.
You'll be getting 5x back on the Freedom, and ~10% off with the PRG plus 1x points on your $260 purchase.
As an alternative I would do the same steps above but purchase the GC with the PRG at a supermarket (maybe Von's?)... not really familiar with LA grocery stores.
In my Mom's area the local supermarkets are: Albertson's, Vons, Food4Less, Safeway, Walmart (doesn't code as supermarket?), Scolari's.
There is also a Kohl's in the area so this looks like a good option.

In the case of the lens and speedlite I want, the prices are the same. For personal reasons, I need to do a walk-in purchase of the items. I only mentioned them so the thread wouldn't get taken off-topic to a discussion of online retailers when I am asking about walk-in retailers.
