What I do is buy the $200 VISA eGift card.
It can be added to Google Pay.
Buying it counts as online spending and gets 2%.
I keep track of my usage. This is a bit of a hassle, but getting 10% is worth it.

This morning I bought a $200 VISA eGift card.
I used 1000 points and paid the rest with the SYW card.
$199 of online spend ; -1000 points (redemption) ; +3980 points (2%)

I have found that I can pay my Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance premiums and my water+sewage bills with it.
My municipality charges me 2.9% but with 10%, I come out ahead.

I have done this 3x already. Two more times and I get the $100 statement.

I am saving the GGR for buying VGC for Discover debit card loading at Walmart.

Yes. It credited overnight. It was not there yesterday June 17, but it was there this morning. Yay!
