You can buy a gift card with an American Express credit card online and at most physical stores that sell gift cards. Some stores don’t accept credit cards for certain types of gift cards, such as general Visa gift cards for example, but you should usually be able to complete your purchase with a credit card.
It's a good idea to call the store ahead of time to see if they'll accept your credit card for a gift card purchase. It's also worth noting that gift card purchases made with your American Express credit card unfortunately won't be eligible for rewards.
If you are looking for a gift card, you can find this year's best gift card options right here on WalletHub.

Cash advances have very high fees and interest, so they’re more of a last resort than anything else. If you do get one, you’ll want to pay it back as quickly as possible.
