But don't they have a limit on the cash back for only a maximum of 1500 or so. Quicksilver is unlimited 1.5% cash back. So a a 500 vgc = 7.5$ back. Which still pays for a card to be bought on miles.

Humm... more theory crafting. I wonder if there is a way to use cashback card that gives enough back to buy a card with it, pay for the fee on miles card, and pay for a wall-mart money order, and for a wall-mart check cashing fee, if i indeed don't want to deposit so much at a bank in mo's and rather use cash.

**edit**
Oh i do have a cash back card, a discover IT card. But its 1% =(

I also might have to wait a week or so because i just opened a second chase card today. Currently a member of csp, and ume. I think csp will give me 50k, which i can turn into united miles, then 30k from the ume so that pays for 1 way =)
On your next application spree, you should pick up a 2% card. It will always pay for itself.
