Will buying the Amex giftcard with an Amex CC get me points (or will they realize what I'm doing and prevent me from doing it)?

Is there a way to "cash advance" against the gift card (obviously, besides the mint)?

NOTE: AMEX GC no longer work for Mint purchases but will work fine almost anywhere AMEX is accepted.
