That's good information TechGirl.
The reason I do the $50 transactions is because getting the $200 one involves sending a "gift" and then I have to redeem it, etc. Doing the $50 one involves adding funds to my existing Webcert account, which doesn't look so suspicious. When I do that I'm basically refueling the card.
Generally, I'm not trying to accumulate points, I get enough just using my DC for shopping/dining/travel. Webcert and C2it offer a handy way to move cash where I need it. I've even used it to pay a bill where I was almost late paying it and needed to avoid late charges, etc. Better to pay a few bucks service charge than to be late with a bill and its associated late fees.
