I buy Amazon GCs at Staples with a Chase Ink for 5x.

ummm, or just wait until you have something you need to buy from amazon? GCs on amazon dont expire and honestly, its only $50, chances are sometime in the next ten years you should be able to find something worth $50 to spend the money on... much better than buying and reselling and eating all the fees.

Might make sense to buy Amazon GC at Kroger for the fuel points now that Kroger isn't giving points for variable load V/MC/AX GC anymore - especially if you wait until a 4x promotion which they seem to do a few times a year, and use a card which gives a category bonus for groceries.

There are lots of things I 'could' buy at Amazon PREFER to get the $50 back right now so I can buy the Amazon Local Deal that I intended to purchase.....

This is why you shouldn't load Amazon GC into the account until you are actually ready to spend them. If I got banned with a significant GC balance though, I'd be taking them to small claims court.

I think that the Jungle of the Bezos tribe is too big to fit in a small claims court

This may be wishful thinking... but is there anywhere online that we can buy these amazon/kindle gift cards and get the Ink 5X?

Anything coded as bookstores or record stores, which is essentially all Amazon shops that I know of (most purchases are bookstores, digital downloads are record stores)

Starting 10/1 the 4th quarter with Chase Freedom is 5X points on Amazon.com. If you have or can get the Citi Forward that works year around.

Watch your grocery store for bonuses. I often see 10-20% or more credit toward future purchases when buying Amazon GCs.

No, they stopped this a while ago. Now only on select categories. Touted as an "Enhancement" of course.

Cash + card gives 5% at bookstores as well.

I am interested to know why Chase Amazon stinks. It's good if you like to MS, no?
