Hmm, this got me thinking. I have some recurring charges that don't earn 5% on my credit cards. They code as medical, education, insurance or charity. I wonder if I can use a VGC to pay those. If so, it would make sense for me to spend my SYW points on VGCs instead of Amazon GCs.
Have you found it difficult to use VGCs on such websites as you mention they're a PITA to use.
