And you're talking about Ink Bold, Cash and Plus.
I got the 5x on my Uber purchase. Next up, I will try American gift cards and hope I can get 5x on those as well. I am just worried if those are subjected to the $1,000 limit per 30 days too. Does anyone know or does that only apply to discounted cards through eBay?

Really want to try and scale this via Uber and AA. Anyone else try it before?
I only bought a $10 Uber gift card, and it worked. I tried to buy 1x$100 AA gift card and it keeps saying:
At this time, we are unable to process your request. Please return to eBay and try another option.

So there are 2 ways to purchase those digital gift cards:

1. Directly through PayPal Digital Gifts (https://www.paypal-gifts.com)
2. Through PayPal eBay storefront (http://stores.ebay.com/ppdigitalgifts/)

Do they both earn 5x UR? The ebay store doesn't carry Amazon cards so they're not identical.

Yes, they both earn 5x. Not having to schlep myself to Staples to get 5x on Amazon purchases as been a real game changer. PPDG carrying Amazon GCs is relatively new.

It's still working on my old Ink Bold Mastercard, but I expect not for too much longer.

You have a Mastercard, not a Visa, right? Still working, for now, on the Mastercards. If you have a Visa and it worked, that'd be a surprise.

Interesting. That's the first datapoint I've seen of it still working on a Visa.

Hoping 5x continues. I added screenshot of 5x to my previous post.
