This scheme is generally based on making a FIRST PAYMENT using a gift card, but clearly it doesn't need to be ONLY A GIFT CARD as shown here. The ecredit was the FIRST PAYMENT.
In theory could someone stack these? 🤔
In December, follow the $50 gift-card + < $300 method (so < $250 balance to be paid on plat). Receive the reimbursement, cancel and let's say you now have $300 in ecredit. You've got $100 in and are sitting on a $300 ecredit. Sit on it until January. Then repeat, buying a ticket < $525, using the $300 ecredit, and paying the balance of $225 on plat (triggering the reimbursement). Cancel it for ecredit. So now starting out the year you'd have $525 ecredit, for which you paid $125.
The benefit to this I suppose is that you wouldn't need to screw around this with dance for another 23 months (Dec 2025 round one, Jan 2026 round two, done until Dec 2027)
