You got it partly wrong also. Citicards can perfectly be used for AP. The only time it would be a No No is when you buy gift card DIRECTLY from a financial institution. i.e. AMEX GC from AMEX.

There is no driving around with AP. Without CVS in your area though, could make things harder (and cost more) to MS because GCs sold at grocery stores generally have higher fee, $5.95 versus $3.95 for VR

Now back to our normal programming.

My dilemma is whether to try the 4th set of US card or the Arrival card. US miles would give more fun than the cash from Arrival card. However the recent data points on the US card front aint too encouraging unless scoring another instant approval while the arrival card is almost a sure bet.
^ on our normal programming but I did want to thank you for providing your other responses.
