I'm $37 away from meeting a $500 minimum spend on my Amex PRG, but I'm out of Canada for the next few months. Does anyone know if AC gift cards, purchased from AC.com, get the 2x airline bonus? Would there be a better way to get that $37 with the 2x MR points bonus through online purchases?
Why not do a local purchase for $37 wherever you are? Sure, you'll pay the 2% forex fee, but even if it costs you $40 overall, it's hardly the end of the world. And this way you get something that's immediately useful rather than AC GCs.
