1) Can I use AP instead of PP? Daughter has her own Amazon account with an .edu address so she gets Prime for free.

2) Should I use my Amex Gold or Chase Sapphire and will this be considered a cash advance? Or is there an alternate way to do this which gives me some kind of perk? I've got plenty of cash in hand, it's just a matter of getting it to daughter and a Green Dot Money Card is not the answer!

...thanks, and I do read my PMs.
