For the Target scenario, how many times are you looking at using with the ATM? Do you have more than 1 TGT card? Does your total include AMEX fee charges?

How many steps are you willing to take to generate the points? Like step 1 you buy GC's through a portal for extra points. Step 2 you buy product from merchant + GC's + portal for more points. Step 3 after buying said product are you going to sell?

I go through about 2 or 3 steps each time to generate spend/points
