If you shop at Amazon a lot like I do, I would just buy a gift card on their site and send it to yourself and apply it to your account. I spend between $200 to $500 a month on amazon so I did that. I figure it's a 5% savings and I'll use it up before April.
exactly right... AMZ payment never counted towards Freedom bonus.
Another option is to buy several gift cards in lower denominations, so that you can give them out as gifts for holidays
