- prepay some utilities and other bills using both cards ($2000 and $2000)
- Buy GC ($4000) in Pharmacy using 5% Freedom category ($1500) and $2500 (using Chase Sapphire).
- load GC to Amex Serve
- pay off SW using Serve.

Will it work? I am concerned about the Serve. I did signed up for it, but I did not try to load any GC yet. And I am not sure if I will be able to use it to pay SW CC...

Thank you!


It has been reported that the Freedom card is a no go in buying the GC's you are talking about, but the Sapphire is fine. (you may want to try, but think it's been reported 2x now on the other thread).

I guess this doesn't matter since someone here is reporting the UR points won't count toward CP pass anyway, but it's probably relevant to your plan of attaining WN points.
