Amex Gift Cards

Noticed I currently have a statement credit offer for buying Amex Gift Cards from https://www.amexgiftcard.com/

I've never tried these out - if I get the eGiftCards how do they work in practice? Adding to Apple Wallet? Or some other way?

According to https://www.amexgiftcard.com/frequently-asked-questions, eGift cards can be added to digital wallets: Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay.

See some of the comments on the DoC post about this offer for the difficulties some people have had in the past in using these cards. I think there are earlier Ft threads, too.

Difficult for people wanting to MS, but unclear if its dificult using them for regular spend? I'd have thought the physical version works the same way as any other card.

I cannot seem to add my egift card to Uber or Starbucks app balances. Does anyone have any recommendations? It's not a physical card, and there is no address associated with, which I think is the problem.
