Airhead, thanks for the Compubank tip. I was all excited because if I could charge money to a mile earning card then spend it through compubank, that would be double miles. But I just went to Compubanks site and couldn't find anything about making a deposit with a credit card. So I called and spoke to a rep and he said I COULD NOT make deposits with credit cards (except as a cash advance, balance tranfer, etc.) He was very explicit in saying I couldn't do it as a purchase.
I would love to hear I'm wrong! Please post if you know more anybody.
