The clerks do not know how to use them. Some of them would swipe the card then tell me they did not know what the balance was, others told me that they showed a balance but they were sure it was not accurate as they never are. They did not know how to apply the card if my purchase was more than the balance. I called the AE help number on the back only to get an option to talk to a rep, and when I would press that option it would disconnect (I tried 3 separate occassions). Also if I tried to take the survey, that option also diconnected me. What a ripoff! The card is useless. I will never give them as a gift in the future again after receiving one. I pity those people I gave them to in the past. Sorry, folks. The American Express gift card that I received was not accepted by almost all merchants who accept American Express.
