And do you think the "can't buy a gift card with a gift card" rule will come into effect for VGCs? retail GCs (I buy all my gas via OM shell GCs)?
According to an earlier post, your CC will get the points for whichever category the store is coded as. In this case we would get both the 5x through the Ink card as well as the MPX pts - bringing OM up to 9pts/$ when using the ink card.

Not looking promising for the purchase of gift cards at the moment.
