What would be the best return if I have Chase Ink and Sapphire? Buy $500 visa gift card at office depot and use it to purchase stuff at all places except Costco. For Amex spefic expenses, get VR at CVS using the visa/mc gift card and load BB with funds which then use it at Costco.

Any problem with the plan above?
I think it's too small of an amount to bother with point/mile multiples calc, no VGC's at OD with CC. AFAIK none of those merchants offer any bonus categories. I would use CC directly.
