I spoke to manager at OD yesterday. He did show me the memo from corporate but I did not take a picture of it.

It did not mention fraud. It did mention that a new Amex branded reload was going to be available.

Did not mention had to pay for this via cash or CC so I think that must be a store decision.

Manager did already have them pull, but let me purchase what I wanted. I opted for 6 of them.

I do use them for points, but that is a perk, as I like these reloading cards for giving my nieces and nephews money for birthdays and holiday. I got them all a gift card in their name and I load money on it for them. They thought it was the greatest thing to have a CC looking gift card we their name on it. I hate sending gift cards in the mail especially at the holiday periods. Too many chances of getting them picked off along the way and no way to recover any funds if they are lifted.
