So he's saying, for example, by making a $40,000 purchase on the card you will come away with $2,000 and equating that with my CapOne "Match your miles" example?
The only problem with that is people like me could/would never purchase anything on a credit card for $40,000 since, for one reason, I would never have a CL limit that high and even if I did I would never do that kind of spending in 6 months, much less one transaction. Even going the U.S. mint route wouldn't even clear a $1,000 return in that six month window and that would entail a whole lot more than an hour's worth of easy computer work. More like several hours of major hassle, hard labor and heavy lifting.
Sorry, it doesn't look like the AARP card is on my horizon any time soon. Next...
