Maybe I missed something here, but is this the first time you looked at this thread? Many of us are buying VR cards (mostly at CVS) with credit cards and getting points/miles that way. The cost of VR cards is below the value of the points/miles earned (usually) and VR card purchases help meet minimum spending limits for bonuses on some cards. Others are buying gift cards at office supply stores with a 5x bonus using Chase Ink cards and exchanging them for VR cards. There are HUNDREDS of posts in this thread with all the gory details. No one in their right mind would load funds directly online with BB using a debit card that carries a $2 transaction fee and a $100 limit per day.
