Yeah. Last resort, I'll add money to my CAD brokerage account with plastiq and change it back over to USD with Norbert's Gambit, which would effectively cancel out the cash back, leaving me with a free BT.

I won't be doing any embossing, just putting a random picture on the front so as to cover up the "SIMONGIFTCARD" text on the front. Not illegal or a violation of the cardholder agreement as I understand it. My name will still be embossed on the front.
