When you combine UR points is there a better card to combine the points into? Like do you get 7% of all points combined into the CSP?
Can you point me to a few threads that will give me some better direction?
How is this working out for people who do buy gift cards, are you getting the 5X and or bonus via UR Mall or are you seeing new exclusions for Gift Card purchases?
TIA
It shouldn't matter which card you use to access the UR portal. They will all take you to the same UR rewards mall.
As far as combining points, again, it doesn't make much of a difference as far as I know. You get 7% bonus on the CSP for all points you earn through that card, but when you combine points to that account, I'm almost positive they aren't taken in to account since you didn't earn them.
To buy the gift cards and get the 5x, you usually have to buy the gift cards at an office supply store that gives 5x on the Ink Bold. Think Office Depot, Staples, etc. Then, you can use those gift cards for any of your everyday spend, therefore earning 5x points on any purchases. As far as I know, buying gift cards through the portal doesn't work for any type of bonus points (although I'd love to be proved wrong on this).
Hope this helps!
