I’m a little concerned, but I figure it’s worth a chance. Im only going to do $500 this month, so there’s not a lot of risk.

If you look at Motley Fool, I believe the T&C says that it's not stackable on both Simply Miles and Merchant Offers. If it's the same provider, I think they'd be pretty reliable at weeding those out. Other deals, like Uber, do not have the no stacking warning, so I think you can get cash back and miles. As for stacking Simply Miles/Merchant Offers with eShopping, perhaps that will work with some merchants. For a merchant like Motley Fool, I assume they'd have to identify stacking on the back end since it's doubtful eShopping (Cartera) talks to Citi Merchant Offers and Simply Miles. Presumably when Motley Fool pays out, they get identifying information that would show someone who double-dipped.
It does seem too good to last, but so far they’ve been stacking for some offers like Uber. I know Motley Fool has been clear they won’t allow stacking, but I’m hopeful that if they disallow it I’ll still be in the 30 day cancellation period.
