I love credit cards so much!

If it’s a Metabank it should be the last four digits of the card number. Also go through a cashback portal I think ebates is giving 1% back.

Same applies to Sunrise Bank backing as well. @MrPTato

i was MSin with SPG personal and my Citi TYP pt with Simons mall.
I MS with Ink+ with Staples.
it got too much work because i had to stop by at least 5 walmarts to change them into MOs.
I had no MSR to reach at that time, i did about 4-5 months of it. MS for points/profit?

That’s awesome. It is a lot of work MSing but I am currently finding it fun. I can see after awhile it may become too much work. I was thinking of MSing and you can redeem URS or MRS for cash or Schwab if you had a lot of points.

Did anybody else read this as ALBORT! ALBORT! ?? HAHA

Yes! I had to reread it just to make sure it didn't really say it

 

[linzjane88]

... just a little?

would expect a HUGE relief! LOL

It still was a >$600 phone .....when he has a perfectly functional newish phone. There's only so happy I can get about that. Haha!

Bought my Delta GC. That counts towards MSR right?

Waiting to take Dude to the vet for his ear. At least the office visit is covered since I signed him up for their paw plans things to help keep the cost of the teeth cleaning/extraction down. Have a feeling we'll be coming home with a cone of shame to get him to stop scratching the ear. Also hoping they take amex so I can get a little more of the MSR done.

The Delta GC will count towards MSR...BUT...I would not count it for your purposes. You'd hate the AMEX RAT to get after you over using a reimbursed GC as part of your spend.

I don't know about the gift cards from GCM but the ones I got from Safeway were the Metabanks with the pin that's the last four. The GC's from Fred Meyer were US Bank and they had a slip of paper with the pin inside.

Edit: duh, it was already said the metas were the last 4. This thread is going fast and confusing me!

it depends on where you are. My friend who lives in Texas, he is able to pull like 5k-10k out on one trip. The best ive done so far is 1k 2 swipes, i did a 600 3 swipes.
i was earning UR, SPG, and TYP.

watch how it codes out after pending... if there is any mention of a gift card, dont count it.
still wouldnt count on it though. just to be safe.

so uhh, companies usually allow a 14 day return policy.... soo....... all is well?

Wow. 10k is impressive. I don’t think I can do that in one trip. I did 1k today with two swipes. The good thing is I have a lot of stores around me here. So I could go to multiple stores in one day.

heh, was just reading reddit and it looks like good news for u!

Except that my Amazon store card is through Synchrony and after three different shots at recon they still wouldn’t reconsider my Marriott app. It’s very YMMV.

 

[Lain]

I considered that but it seems like it would be *really* easy for the Amex RATS to figure out what your up to . But buying $5xx.xx in "groceries" every week OTOH...

On my SPG Biz?

I’m buying out whatever is the weekly special to resell on eBay!

or

I’m catering a weekly sales meeting?

I’m sure I can come up with more.

Answer

 

[wendow]

need help, if I change the business category on plastiq to other and write in mortgage as the specified category, is that alright? usually It was rent/ real estate.

What card are you trying to use? Visa, MC, Amex??

 

[peel]

Answer

Aha!

 

[thevalley]

What card are you trying to use? Visa, MC, Amex??

Visa the CIP

 

[wendow]

Visa the CIP

I pay my mortgage with my CIP and I categorize my recipient as "Rent/Real Estate". I have also used the "utilities" category to get a mortgage payment through.

 

[kmc8826]

Despite my call to get it expedited my CIP just arrived yesterday (found out approved and called last Thursday the 15th). Oddly enough got it yesterday and then today another one. So now we have two!

At any rate, I got the account set up this morning and then this afternoon got the response to my secure message on offer/date to meet by. Hopefully this is a helpful data point for those on the fence of getting it/worries about meeting spend:

• Applied Sunday, March 11.
• Found out approved March 15 (after horrific call morning of March 14).
• Secure message received today the 23rd that I have until July 17 to meet the minimum spend.

Now I am not super at math but that is definitely more than the advertised 3 months. So something to think about as you consider...there is a cushion built in spending wise.

i think we should start building a list of mortgage companies and what was used to get around the restrictions...

I was unable to get it to go through with rent/real estate. I may try utilities. Thanks I will give it a shot. I had changed it to other and then it asked to specify what other was. So I wrote mortgage but chickened our because I wasn’t sure what would happen next. Lol

I'm wondering if it is not going through because of the name of the mortgage company, rather than the category. Rent is an allowed category with Visa. Many of the banks/mortgage companies are blacklisted by plastiq from paying a mortgage with a Visa or Amex.
