I’ve been trying to purchase Amazon vouchers through AMEX Gyfter for the past 2–3 months. While all transactions were successful, I never received the vouchers.
It seems safe to conclude that Amazon vouchers (Pay/Shopping) are not currently available to us.


Received this email from Gyfter

Greetings from GyFTR!

I sincerely apologize for the delay in sharing the response. As per the update received from the relevant department, I would like to inform you that the order AMEX-xxxxxxxx has failed, and hence no vouchers have been issued.

Additionally, I would like to clarify that the refund has been initiated from our end and should reflect in your source account within 5-7 working days.

I regret to inform you that your voucher transactions could not pass through some internal security checks on our website. Unfortunately, due to this, you will not be able to place any orders on the GyFTR Amex website in the future.

You may visit at https://www.gyftr.com/amexrewardmultiplier/contact-us and talk to our virtual assistant Ema for any quick assistance on a host of queries like how to use your voucher, resend your vouchers, and raise instant complaints.

Warm Regards,
XXX

What is the reason for banning him from buying Amazon pay vouchers?

Amex is the only one that is consistently monitoring Gyftr. People are using Gyftr with Amex for double-dipping and for commercial purposes.

Some people are using multiple phone numbers to buy gift cards with the same card. Amex is not HDFC, SBI. They’re tracking everything. Same has happened to some peeps on Reddit and TF.

Nothing will happen to regular customers. It’s just that Amex has found a better solution. Instead of devaluing rewards or cards, they’re directly banning the user.

Which is a good approach compared to other banks, who just devalue the card lol, making it almost worthless.

That sounds logical, but if a person cannot buy Amazon pay on Amex Gyftr with his American express Card, then he will find no use for it and he is bound to close it.
Why pay high renewal fees every year?

there is no other use for it, because spending exactly 1000 x 6 times or 1500 x 4 times offline is difficult.

It’s good that they stop abuse but Amex cards are the worst ones for purchasing these vouchers as you get very low rewards and the rewards have very little value.

I strongly believe that if a user is banned, they should not be allowed to complete transactions, including the final step with an OTP.

It's disappointing & lame on the part of AMEX or Gyfter to allow a transaction to proceed after banning someone.

This seems like a significant oversight.

Yes and they even charge money but refuse to give you the Amazon pay voucher.

I generally don’t purchase Amazon vouchers via Amex anyway as their rewards are practically zero.
