For an example, imagine Amex isn't supposed to give me points on Visa cards but they will on Amazon cards, if I buy both on Amazon will I see that one got points and one didn't?
If your Chase Ink card is a new one, the limit on the 5% is $15K/year, so that is somewhat limited.
If you have other accounts or business with Chase, just remember that Chase uses the scorched earth technique on any client they wish to disassociate with, i.e. everything Chase goes into the toilet.
I like the idea of just contacting Amazon. When doing that amount of business with them, gift card financing (
) would not be the route you would want to use. You would want to ensure that your credit line with whatever bank you were dealing with could absorb a $25K/mo charge but otherwise, I would just contact the banker you have your business dealings with and with Amazon to make the proper arrangements to pay Amazon with a credit card and reimburse the bank for the credit charge. Easy peasy and no GCs needed..
The above isn't MSing but just plain business financing
