For others, it's a rounding error.

Someone making $10 an hour doesn't make $81 in a day - most days, so as always, it's a YMMV!

They have gotten good at loading up cards at my Simon, though.
Its not that $81 an hour (my calculation) isnt a good earning. It certainly is. But, given that there is a limit to a lot of things in MS, it makes more sense to go after the bigger opportunities first. 10K every day on a 2% card presents a lot of problems, first off, you are running a lot of money through one or two cards. Second off, you are running a lot of volume through a likely small amount of stores to cash out. They see you every day..... Third, you are having to deposit those money orders everywhere. Thats a lot of banks required to carry those numbers. If you can get as much profit with less volume, that is more ideal. Also less volume means less expenses/time typically. Less change of shutdowns, etc.
