(I do know that if the return balance is less than the new purchase balance, you effectively lose the miles based on lower reporting- if I spend $10000 in July, I get 10000 miles. If I return spend $10000 in August, but return $2000 of the July stuff, I will get only 8000 miles in August...so one actually has to be negative in a month to benefit from this...never done that)
Cheers.
Or get two cards. And alternate buying/returns each month.
