using that to buy 10k worth of OVVGC from WAG and clearing through RedCard would net you $2,203.97 if my math is correct. (10k * (.10 + .10 + .015 + .015 = .23) + 99 in fees * (.015 +.015 regular rewards)) - the Fees of 99

What rewards do you have on your old Discover card?
Why wouldn't the $99 in fees also earn the 10%?

The way I see it: 10k worth of GC = 10,099 actual spending. Get 23% back = 2322.77. Subtract 99 and you get net gain of 2223.77.
