Topcashback: Extra *6%* for Cashing Out via Amex Gift Card (expires 9/7)

The Offer

Direct Link

• Topcashback is now offering a 6% bonus on all cash back if you select to be paid in the form of an Amex gift card
• Expires September 7, 2016

 

The Fine Print

• You must have a U.S. address to be able to request your cashback by via Amex gift card.
• There is a $20 minimum load to the Amex gift card, and a $1,000 maximum.
• The Amex gift card does not expire but has a $3 per month service fee after 12 months if there’s still credit/balance on it – so ideally you should spend your credit within 12 months to avoid the charges. (Some states in the U.S. prohibit cards with service fees, so these ones will receive a different card with no service fee.)
• You can’t reload the card, so once you’ve spent the credit on it you simply throw it away and request another one.
• The card will arrive with the credit already on it, so you don’t need to confirm you’ve received it before it is loaded.
• The card should arrive approximately 7-10 days after you make your payout request.

Our Verdict

I gave this deal a miss last month when there was a 5% increase. This week’s 6% increase is definitely more enticing, especially for high payout amounts.
