In chicago for the weekend so walked to says to buy my gift card. As soon as I said I wanted a gift card and the clerk saw it was an am ex she said “I bet. You want it for $50 and don’t care about type of card”. She said she has had a lot of $50 am ex gift card sales this month. She agreed with me it’s free money. Wish they still had the off fifth on state street so I could use these cards
