But, perhaps, that just makes me a sucker...

Also, I definitely knew avogadro didn't mean 30 cents per point, but it was too good of a typo to pass up.

It’s the same utilization whether you’re spending on MS or IRS as I said in my original post I wouldn’t recommend either, but if you’re desperate to spend your way to earn nights MS is the better route. Chase doesn’t care which you do as both code as miscellaneous spend.

MS is a very intensive process, some like it (as they’ve posted here) others don’t. It’s a tool to use, but as someone who’s done it multiple times a week for months even I wouldn’t do it again,with that said it’s still better than wasting the fees to the IRS especially if you only need to do 25k, I needed to do 125k which is a massive difference.
