There will most likely be reports shortly of physical gcs being reimbursed for this benefit.
That's good to know. The window for the end of 3rd quarter is so tight, I didn't want to risk it, so I ordered actually clothing. Next quarter, I was thinking about going into an actual store, in part out of curiosity, to buy a physical gift card, much like I've done at Saks in Chicago and Las Vegas, but now maybe I won't have to.
I hate to say one of the benefits of the Platinum card is that it has improved my self confidence. The first time I walked into a Saks store as a middle-aged cisgender male, I was thinking about that scene in "Pretty Woman" where Julia Roberts walks in to buy a dress and is told by the snooty saleswomen that "Our stuff is very expensive. Please leave..." Would they laugh at me? Would they call security? Now I've gone into several Saks over the years to get gift cards and no longer care what they think......
