(I would pay off the AA card/Scotia charge probably the same day).

This sound so good that I'm having a hard time believing it. Has anyone else done this? From the point of view of AA is it legal, or rather, within their policies? I haven't yet read the fine print in the package ~ too excited to concentrate at the moment.

Thanks for any input.
Do you have a $20K credit card limit to start with? Not sure if you can use a credit card in this way, though if the bank allows it then probably is okay. Less likely that this will count towards your purchases for miles. Who knows though..things can slip through, my wife purchased and returned something on the same billing cycle, still got miles credited for the purchase.
