1)can i just use the ink bold to get gift cards at Office Depot and get 5X on buying that card alone. It's at least getting a like 5000 points for buy $1000 card. No?
2) vanilla re-load card (if i can find one) i put as much as i can up to the daily limit and then pay for mortgage or something. Only time i get points (meaning using am ex blue, ink bold, vanilla reload) is the 5x points for buying the re-load card?

thanks for helping us slower folks. Some of this IS rocket science. thank you.
But you do bring up a good point: If you are not familiar with the game, do not put much, if anything, at risk. Be sure you know exactly how things should proceed before moving forward, since screwing up something related to gift cards and credit cards can cause major headaches and be hazardous to your wealth.

In a pinch, if you can't find the answer in the thread, ask. You will also find that help will always be given at Flyertalk to those who ask for it.
