Gift Cards Qualify for Bonus Points?
I'm thinking about upgrading to a platinum card (I've been pre-approved supposedly) and have a question about how the MR 10x bonus works. Would I still get the bonus if I were to buy a gift card through the MR shopping rewards site at say Best Buy? I need a new TV and thought of going through the mall for gift cards then going to my local store and using them so I can more easily coordinate delivery, installation, calibration and extended warranty. (If you have an opinion on extended warranties for new TVs throw that in too)
Also, any comments on the whether it is worthwhile to upgrade from gold to platinum would be welcome.
Thanks for the help
