Sounds like if they persist with the higher fees, in order to minimize the fees buy one $500 SuperCertificate ($1 fee plus $1 email fee
) and then slowly redeem for merhcant GCs in whatever denomination you need at a time.
It's a pity that I didn't know about gc.com. I was thinking of the following, but given that it sounds too good, I guess something wrong with my logic. Please point out.
I have about 10K tuition payments for my kids.
1. buy 10 e-supercertificates totalling 10K and pay the digital delivery fee (49.5 dollars) through AA e-shopping with mastercard and get 40K AA miles. (2 miles per dollar, but double with mastercard)
2. Order 100 cards of $100 mastercard giftcard. No fee here.
3. Use the 100 mastercards to pay for the 10K tuition.
At the end? 40K miles for 49.5 dollars!
what's wrong here?
thanks for pointing out weak mind.
