I would love some clarification on the 2 extra points because in the fine print, it says gift cards aren't eligible, but who knows if they catch the purchase as gift cards or not. 5X is still good, and you can buy up to 9 of the $200 cards at a time. We have two Ink cards, so I am using it to the max each month.
When you actually do the math, the 5X points is a great get for the purchase.
