Meh - UFB still can be used for buying drugs in Miami. The grade of the yield may be low, but it still falls at the low cost end. UFB lives on as sort of a drug crazed zombie deal - half dead, but still walking. ST on the other hand remains pretty much cold in the ground.
ST at least allows $2k a month (4k for an account with 2 cards, or so the letter from ST said indirectly). So that's 48k Skymiles a year for a $75 fee and maybe $30 in lost interest for keeping the $3k min balance. Small stuff but steady work at a good price.

No one knows yet. We should find out in a few weeks when miles post for June purchases. I'm doing at least one transaction in a few methods I've used in the past to test if they pay out. We all know that terms, explicit as they may be, aren't always enforced.

Sorry to revive an *almost* dead thread, but any updates on IRS payments or Property Tax payments?
I have a $5k Property Tax bill coming up in a month and they take Visa debit cards for a $3.95 fee (Lake County, IL through a company called Forte at https://www.billpayit.com/lakecoilpropertytax/Pay). If the limit is $2500 per transaction, I could get about 1700 AA miles for $7.90.

I would suggest calling CS to clarify your question.
Post information here, once you get clarification.

I do not know about new policy. But back in May (when category limit was not enforced) I paid property tax which showed as "DUPAGE COU POS DEB" as Debit card transaction. Obviously, I received the bonus.
