"“cash equivalent transaction” means using your card account to obtain or forward cash or something that is easily converted into cash. Examples include: purchases of foreign currency, gift cards (purchasing and reloading), traveller’s cheques, money orders, bank drafts, casino gaming chips, wire transfers and all similar transactions. It also includes balance transfers, cash advances, person to person payments, and the use of credit card cheques and other similar devices or offerings, whether offered by us or through a third party.......

WHEN YOU WILL NOT EARN POINTS
cash equivalent transactions, whether or not they appear as purchases on your monthly statement"
the “cash equivalent” is important as Amex has always treated Amazon Store GC as valid spending.
