Please let us know which card gives 2x at convenience stores.
Several CCs give bonuses for grocery stores, including my United Mileage Plus Select Visa card. Also, my Virgin America Visa card is offering 3x points (targeted) for purchases at drugstores through September 30, so I am using that card at CVS. In addition, you don't need 2x if you use a Starwood Amex card. A Starpoint is worth about 2.5 cents at hotels. A Starpoint is also worth 1.25 miles at many airlines as well. Think about those cards before you buy.
Hey again DC.
I have had 2 successful transactions on (1x each on different days) at this store. It's when I try to do a second transaction immediately after the first that the "glitch" pops up.
I don't know that I'll get 2x points, trying to test it out to see if it works. If not, no worries, I'm still happy manufacturing at 1x. And I'm still relatively new to the game, so I don't have a full portfolio of cards to use for bonuses (yet).
Thanks for the input and feedback, it's appreciated.
