No, and the IRMAA maxes out around $540 a month I think. I've been retired for a while so I don't have the overhang of years where I earned a lot.

A bit off topic but thought I'd mention - I have found the easiest way to zero out small balances on GCs is just add the remainder to your Amazon wallet

Ideally, what I'd want to do is put a modest amount on the CSR for the coverage and put the bulk on an AA card for the LPs and the better mileage earning.

It seems that this is not straightforward, and I'm not sure if any of the intermediate GC or Paypal options would work here.

Cheers.
