I don't want to buy VR with GC, which I know earns me nothing but fee, but I have to find a way to cash those GCs out.
So you want a scalable least hassle way to MF 5x bonus points without WM. And entering numbers in AP is too much work, is that right?

The most inconvenient part is VR@CVS. Firstly, my local stores have the $1K/visit limit. Also, it is awkward to swipe five $200 Visa GC when there is a long line behind you and you have to sign for each card. what's the better way to liquidate those $200 bank GCs? The most obvious answer is Pin load at Walmart, but it is 20min drive away, not feasible for me. I guess Amazon Payment is another,
but I have to type 5 cards each month, which is hassle. Besides,
it can't scale up with $1K monthly limit.
Very constrained question but thanks for any input.
Which one is it?
