@barrytuneup I didn’t think of getting eg grocery cats for purchases as MS.
Would you consider the following MS? I just think of it as getting cheap gas.
- Bought $400 prepaid Visas at Staples. Rebate covers the activation fee. 5% back on Chase Ink so $20.
- Used the $400 in prepaids to buy $400 in Best Buy gc at Rite Aid. Earned 1600PP per acct (4 accts, $16 ea)
- Used the $400 in Best Buy gc to buy $375 in gas gc (Shell & Mobil) and $25 Panera card.
- Use the Mobil gc when I have Plenti offers for eg 7x pts per gallon.
If gas is $2.50/gallon by my math I’m paying ~ $1.90/gallon. Like I said, I think of it as getting cheap gas not MS.
IMO MS is buying stuff to rack up credit card bonus. In the above instance just the initial $400 on Chase Ink would be MS.
