Thanks!
my post 440 says this, but here you go again--if this helps:

I had ordered a visa giftcards.com GC on my Chase CO MC and below are all the charges and fees as they hit my credit card:

11/03/2010 11/04/2010 Sale GIFTCARDS.COM, LLC(Services and Merchandise) 05436840308505254391914
$1.05

11/03/2010 11/04/2010 Sale GIFTCARDS.COM, LLC(Services and Merchandise) 05436840308505254391831
$504.34

BC then gave me $12 for this.

11/03/2010 GiftCards.com $500.00 $12.00

(They didnt post the $ on 11/3 but it references that date)

so that's not 5.6% CB at all. It's 2.4%. Still good but the length of time it took to get the card in the mail with its 44cent stamp on its envelope was way too long. 9-10 days.

If you can buy one of these MC GCs with the AMEX GC I will do it!
