So the $100 out of pocket WILL earn you $10 (5% rewards ($5) + $5 bonus). You just don't get any more rewards points when you use the gift card. You've earned your rewards points up front with the gift card purchase.

But if I didn't buy the gift card I would use my Amazon store card and get 5% off my purchases anyway. The promo is to refill your gift card so it's for my use. I get 5% either way so it's a wash. The only thing extra I get is the $5 credit.
But if I had used a different credit card to refill the gift card I would actually get nothing in the end since I wouldn't get 5% for the gift card. Right?
