American Express market profile
American Express gift cards can be useful, but they should be priced as prepaid cards rather than retail-store cards. A safe quote depends on card status, proof, and whether the platform accepts the Amex route.
For quick planning, the current physical estimate is ₦880 / $1, while the e-code estimate is ₦845 / $1. A $100 physical American Express card therefore plans around ₦88,000, and a $100 e-code plans around ₦84,500.

Before selling a American Express Gift Card
Confirm acceptance before sending details. Amex can require more manual checking than common gaming or app-store cards.
- Confirm the platform accepts Amex.
- Keep receipt and balance proof.
- Ask if manual review is required.
- Plan using a prepaid-card estimate.
When a lower quote is reasonable
A lower quote is reasonable when the card route is less common, proof is weak, or support needs extra verification.
Physical, e-code, and no-receipt planning
Physical cards usually use the main planning rate when the card photo and proof are clean. E-code can still be strong, but the platform has less physical evidence. If receipt proof is missing, a conservative planning rate for American Express is closer to ₦722 / $1. This is not a penalty by itself; it is how platforms price uncertainty.
