As a American citizen who has lived off and on in Europe for 6 years I've spent several times more than $1000. I buy all my beer at Wal Mart for example. In addition to 2% I hope to earn FF miles and/or hotel points.
Anyway I don't even know for sure if Wal Mart or McDonalds sell gift cards. I know Hard Rock does.
I've thought of a few more possibilities: Starwood hotels, rental cars and Ikea. Can anybody confirm or deny these as selling $ gift cards that are accepted in Europe?
Anybody else know of any other possible opportunities?
