No, but codes for free shipping usually do.
Frequent Miler. And yes it does seem like that.

I did $3K, and hopefully, they'll pay something. I'm not expecting 40%.
I went through to buy and it asks for my SSN, no thanks. Is that normal with Amex online?

Yes, it is.
Frankly I would cease all speculation as to them not paying out, all that does is potentially provide exits for a company to use. Even my comment 'likely a mistake' is a bad thing to do, I put it in because I was sure to see everyone saying 'its a mistake!!!' the more people that say it is a mistake and that they won't pay out, the more likely it is to happen, and speculation as to what they might offer in compensation allows an insight into what people would accept in a BATNA situation.
I recommend this approach for anything, akin to the 4 UA miles to Asia etc. And I am not getting into a moral discussion about this or that, but if you ARE going to try this, mum is the word!
I've upgraded your account to look at the non-indexed areas - you can talk all you like there, since it (one hopes) is not being read by the company in question.

If you are going to do it, use the conga line in our forum found here:
I processed a few orders because what is there to lose if they don't pay anything? KrisFlyer is paying on a mistake points deal they did in June.

Hmm for some reason they don't have Amex GC on the site now:

yes....however, I'm sure that I sometimes fat-finger a typo...
I used @GRUENER 's link and did not have a chance to post mine in the conga. That being said, I think that it would have been important to state that the person who refers you gets 20% of what your friend earns for their shopping in perpetuity. That kind of disclosure should be on a conga line so people know what they are choosing. I would have to think twice about who I give that referral to given the terms and conditions of it.

Dear Member,
Welcome to Hoopla Doopla! We hope this email finds you well.
It has been brought to our attention that on Thursday, September 4th, an internet message board post had stated that our website, www.hoopladoopla.com, was offering 40% cash back on American Express Gift Card purchases. While this offering was indeed on our website, the post on the message board did NOT state the terms and conditions of the offer, which was that "Cash back is paid only on media buys." (See screenshot of our site below.)
We received numerous orders on American Express Gift Cards throughout the day in which we were not paid any commissions, due to the fact that the gift cards purchased did not meet the terms and conditions listed on our website.
We are deeply sorry to inform any of you who were misled by this offer. For your convenience and understanding of future purchases, we list any Terms and Conditions of our merchants on our site.
To avoid any further confusion in this matter, we have temporarily deactivated American Express Gift Cards from our website directory.

Wow - I bet that they made a profit on this too... EDIT - they say they didn't earn any commission... I guess they wouldn't outright lie about that.

The moment I read it, I knew it was one of those Too Good to be True so watch out. I thought about it at first on how much I'd 'gamble' and what IF they paid as promised? But then, I remembered AGCs are no longer accepted as payment for VGCs online and I don't do amazon ALR so I passed.
