Did you not ready the thread?? OP is doing a lot of extra work for nothing.

Instead of GC -> BB -> Check -> Mortgage (and then separately pay the CC using bank account).

Do this:

GC -> BB -> Pay CC that bought the GC (rinse and repeat as many times as possible)

then I added:

GC -> Evolve -> (partial) pay mortgage

So in your case, Pay $1000 of mortgage using Evolve, and rest using bank account. You get 12,000 points per year EXTRA that you didn't have before. You may have to call your bank to reconcile the two separate payments but isn't the points worth a single phone call every month?
