What we know so far, that we are happy to share, and won't get the hump when other people ask us or other people get the hump cos we know something they don't.
3V / Pay.com cards are no more

If they've been cleared out do Tesco normally fill the empty space with a different gift card till more arrive? As there is never an empty space to suggest they did have them in stock.
Also am I looking in the correct place right, at the end of the aisle in the gift card section?

Yep you're looking in the right place.
I was finding quite a lot around in May-June but none the last week or so in South London (10 or so supermarkets).

I'm new to the UK and still figuring out how to play the game on this side of the pond. I have done a lot of reading, but I apologise in advance if this is a stupid question.
A blogger (I know! but the blogs are useful for getting an overview) had a fairly recent post on AMEX gift cards. It seems like it might be worth it for me to test the waters with one of these. However - and this is the part that is likely to be a stupid question - I can't figure out how to buy one. The FAQ has instructions for activating cards that were bought online which implies that, well, they can be bought online. But I haven't been able to find a link.
Help, anyone?

Indeed. As the OP mentioned he picked it up from a blog it would indicate that's what he is probably referring to.....

Just to throw in a word of caution about commemorative coins above £2, spending them isn't easy. Nowhere has to accept them. I got rid of mine by depositing them into a bank, but it wasn't an easy process and I'm not sure I'd bother again or recommend it! I did it to meet the signup bonus for a MBNA Virgin Atlantic Black CC - the Visa gives 1 point per mile and Virgin's redemption rates are fair for the time being.
