The agent corky spoke with was correct. From the AA gift card FAQs: http://www.aa.com/i18n/utility/FAQs/...s/GiftCard.jsp

Q: Can the American Airlines Gift Card be used toward the purchase of an AAdvantage Award ticket?
A: No. The Gift Card can not be used for payment of award travel nor the taxes and charges of the award.
