Whereas I'm normally very focused on circs, this one doesn't bother me. The cc to vanilla, vanilla to bb, bb to cc has enough separate companies as to not be immediately apparent.

Paying out of bb in odd installments strikes me as important. Not just $1k in, $1k out same day. Use some efts, and heck even use the card for purchases once or twice.
