Are you buying them with a cashback card or a Chase business card.

I guess with a 2% CB card, I would clear $8 for every $200 spent. If I had not reached my yearly spend limit on my Chase Cash card, I would earn 5 UR points or 1000 points, conservatively worth $10 if used correctly.

However, until my year renews, Chase is out of the running. However, we do shop at Costco, but can use the 2% CB card there as well, avoiding an unnecessary middle step (and avoiding prying rodent eyes as well).

But I am always up for a new angle so if there is one, you have at least one interested reader
