Be careful hitting your bonus like this, most issuers specifically exclude gift card purchases so when we do this most of us will try to add in a couple other items so the total doesn't blatantly scream "I bought a gift card" in case your bonus fails to post and you need to plead your case to the issuer. Now, the reality is gift cards will often still count towards the bonus as issuers don't tend to get high enough level data to know you're buying gc's. Sometimes gc won't even earn points- like office supply store purchases on Amex as Amex does get that level of data from office supply stores. What issuer are you playing around with here?
