I can go into an apple store and use three visa gift cards to purchase - is that correct?

Any other creative ways?

I also have Freedom card and HHonors card - both giving additional points for drugstores spend
You know that you need to use 3 different addresses for the $15 rebate from Staples right? You can buy all from the same store, but you'are only eligible for 1 rebate per household/address. Do you have one of the Ink cards? Have you looked at any shopping portal that gives you 2x-10x at apple?
