Does American Express gift cards work?
I have an American Express gift card, and I’m having trouble adding it as a payment method. Could it be a card that doesn’t work, or am I not waiting long enough after its been activated?

There is always the brute-force approach: Any vendor that sells Apple Gift Cards and that accepts American Express Gift Cards can then be used to transfer that money to Apple.
As for the direct approach: American Express indicates the gift card can be used with Apple Pay:

You might also see if the gift card can be added via the https://AppleID.Apple.Com website, too.
Or, yes, check with Apple Support.
