Besides the plink and visa ink options, you also got to figure that it also eats less into caps if you're only doing BB/Serve. $5K of $200 cards is a max of 25K points a month, compared to 5K, or 10K at 1X or 2X multipliers. If you need to earn points fast, they are a good option.

Course with MO/BP this may change the equation, although it will be far less work.
