Churning through Amazon.com
I will be buying some amazon.com gift certificates to help meet spend on one of my credit cards. While I do spend money on amazon and can deplete my balance that way, I was wondering if I can buy Vanilla debit cards or AMEX gift cards on amazon, or if there might be other "quick turn-around" items I can purchase.

If you want vanilla or AMEX gift cards, why don't you just make your spend by buying those and cut out the amazon step?

The amazon $'s are already coming and I'm curious if there is a quicker way to use them than just to wait for my typical amazon purchases.

You can try selling them on Ebay, but barely anyone else will let you sell them.

if you going to buy amazon GC, why not buy AmEx GC when there is no activation, plus bigcrumb bonus. In this case u not only able to use in amazon, u can also use it at costco, or some supermarket or gas station.
