I'm averaging 6,500 points per month, but part of that is due to the fact that I was in Europe for 2 weeks and couldn't swipe with an international data plan. My goal is 10,000 points per month.

I have to pay 2.75% per transaction, which works out to $0.03 per $1.00 transaction. I use the Square app.
Good for you! They will definitely shut you down in a month or two, If not, please come back and tell us they haven't. But even so - what do you care? There are plenty of other banks.

1099 is another story, and I wouldn't want to pay taxes on those miles
