There may be more options to purchase money orders with debit cards than with other kinds of cards. What is Amex's take on that?

Counter or starter Items without the bank routing number, account number and check serial number encoded at the bottom
Travelers checks
Items that have already been deposited or submitted for deposit (whether to your Account or to another account) by any means (including, without limitation, Items submitted for deposit through Mobile Check Deposit multiple times)
Items that have already been converted to an image or copy
Remotely created checks (Items that are not created by the paying bank and that do not include the signature of the drawer (maker) on whose account the check is drawn)
So for depositing, the purchased money orders would have to go to a different account than the Amex checking account.

Wonder if MRs earned on debit cards will get a 1099...still going over the terms...
Airline miles earned on debit card transactions didn't come with 1099s. But that was back in the day when there were way more US customers with airline-mileage earning checking account debit cards.
