I'm just making sure because MS is new for me and because I have a chase ual business card that doesn't give much more than 1mile per dollar so it's not a great value.
The scenario you are inquiring about is not really MS...at least in my estimation. You are merely maximizing miles earned per $ spent on regular purchases (from Amazon, in this case.)
1. If you don't have any problems with your credit, get the Ink card with the highest bonus you can find (50K or 60K at this point, I believe)
2. Go to your local Staples and purchase some Amazon Gift Cards with the Ink card. I can usually find $50 GCs at the very lowest denomination at our store... but YMMV.
3. Load the cards into your Amazon account and shop there as usual.
That's it. No trickery. No schemes. Just make sure you don't purchase more GCs than you might use in your ordinary Amazon spending.
