we're remodeling our kitchen and will be using ikea products for the cabinets. not sure of the total at present, but assume it'll come out to $10k.

what's the best way to make this purchase?
1. i see ikea GC resellers will have a 2-3% discount on the face value, but often you're ending up with GCs with $50-$200 on them. total PITA.
2. could buy regular GCs at $500 a pop with 5% back, but i doubt ikea would go for using 24 GCs to pay for a purchase.
3. signing up for 4-6 new CCs with spending thresholds to reach bonuses could work. any recommendations?

any other thoughts? thanks.
