​​​​​​"Yes, I know they have definitely discussed that corporately many times but as of now, I have not heard any news of it being implemented.

Hopefully I’ll have more news soon!"

If the Walmart issue (and possibly Kroger issue) becomes permanent, perhaps corporate will explore more possibilities. Simon makes money in all this, otherwise they'd never cater to it. A massive loss in customers buying GC hurts them too.
Of course Simon is making money, but somebody's gotta be losing money on this. Most likely the issuer/rewards company. AMEX and Alliant have already stop giving out rewards for Simon purchases. If they make it that easy, I bet more company is going to follow suit.
