What is a good item under ~$120 that I can buy from Dell.com using the $100 statement +10% off and sell to someone using craigslist?
Which item has a good resale value and is easy to sell (good demand)?

Just tossing out a recommendation for a nifty little product for those looking for ideas. Works great on a Win 10 system (built in support) to project onto a big screen TV

Considering they sell every item under the sun, 1000s of non dell items I can't believe there isn't something you can't find for personal use. The using of the credit to sell things is how these credits get taken away.

There is nothing wrong with buying and then re-selling the item. AMEX has nothing to do with the resale and it is none of their business what someone does once they have the item.

Just bought Microsoft Office for home & business via my wife's Business Plat. It's the same $249 price as on the Microsoft site, but I'll get the $100 statement credit via Dell. Minor annoyance in how it took two days to get the activation key, but still nice to get full value for the $100 benefit.

It appears that payments for financed merchandise will be owed to Dell Financial Services. So there's a chance that billing may not automatically trigger the benefit. Then you'd have to request AmEx to apply it manually. I'd discuss it with them before making that purchase.
