Should I be worried about having bought vanillas with an AmEx?
I went the staples route, bought 5 visas for $1k total to get the $150 in-store rebate, then was magically able to find a CVS that let me unload the 5 GCs into 2 ice creams. Was planning on buying ice creams directly with my SPG once a month until I started learning more about FRs and it's gotten me worried using an AmEx to play the ice cream game.
Also, whoever mentioned going to "the other side of the tracks" was spot on. In my city of retired rich old people, no CVS would take any credit cards. Went to the "ghetto" city next door and with only a couple hitches, was able to use gift cards to buy the gift cards
