But I've got 2 new AmEx credit cards with minimum spend to meet, so I'm tempted to use the B6 shopping portal to go to Amazon and purchase a gift card on Amazon. If I understand, this should net 3 B6 points per dollar + 1 MR point per dollar (and help me towards my minimum spend). (I think that's acceptable in lieu of 5x on Ink.) If I have misinterpreted, please correct me.
If you want to wait months for the points it's ok as we can't earn points for shoping at Amazon anywhere else
We don't have B6 at MSP so it's no big deal for us so we are accumulating these points hoping someday B6 is here. I have made many more purchases and only the 600 points has shown up so far.
My wife use Amazon often and always goes through the link and still has zero points.
My local grocery store ( Hyvee ) has 20 cents off per gallon of gas ( and a few times a year the throw in a $10 hyvee gift card) per $100 in gift cards purchased. They carry Amazon cards so If I was making a spend I would take that deal over the B6 points which may never show up.
