You're talking about your precious Blue Cash that I read on the other thread then. People can't apply for that. I thought you were clever so that you gonna say like Club Carlson Premier or something.

That wouldn't be clever, that would be more regurgitation of FM blogs. I'm sorry - I didn't realize we had to limit the discussion to only be inclusive of those *just* getting into the game or those needing circles and arrows.

You just want to show it off your card. Nothing more. People are discussing currently available to apply today. Not the one that you are grandfathered in.

Actually, the question was, "is there any card there which will give more CB @ CVS?". So, the answer is 100% valid. Whether that applies to you or not is a circles and arrows problem mentality.

What city or region or state? I didn't see anything in your previous post.

And even for Cash Back there are cards above 1% at CVS, e.g.:Fidelity Amex (x2), Quicksilver (x 1.5) US Bank Cash Plus (-x2), Chase Amazon (x2) and lots of others....

And some cards give 5x for a period of time, e.g. Citi TYP x5, Wells Fargo and TD Bank.

Gonna fund a brokerage account strictly with CB from my Fidelity Amex :D

There's still a pretty big shortage in my area. It has been this way for the past 2 weeks.

The answer may be relevant, but what's the point of talking about it here though? Nobody benefits talking about it except the grandfathered ones. It's not a new opportunity. It doesn't bring any new information. It already has its own thread. It's "beyond" the circles and arrows.

Does it matter if I'm mad or not? So what if I am? You purposely interacted with a crazy, what does that make you?

And, I think I just implied how pointless that was. But, I guess you didn't understand that and had to say words, right?

A similar point could be made about your post. And mine.

I am fully aware of that without you telling me. Why are you doing it then? You found a target? You know what you are doing is pointless but you had to because you cannot resist to point out? Please just put me on your ignore. I do the same. Actually, no, it'll be done on my side.
---------------------------------------------------------
My conversation was rather tried to staying the topic originally...keeping things current...at least that was my intention, but you type just take it out of the box big time making things so personal. No need for that. Seriously, do you really want to discuss dead deal for the most? If so, let's discuss. What would you do if you have unlimited 5% on drugstores with say a CL of $20k? Is buying $5k worth of VRs on a single purchase too much you think? It nets me like $210, so if I have an idea of the single purchase limit, saves me time going to CVS multiple times...and gas. Do I need to vary CVS or stick with a couple? How many multiples of $500 or sub $1k VRs be too much on a single day? Will it trigger a FR? How's the Reward Cash tracker on the CVS purchases? Some says it's fixed now, but really fixed? Oh, man, I'm afraid of a FR, but it's so lucrative for me I can't stop pushing! What do you think of the chances of a FR asking for >$25k CLI?

Touchy, touchy.

Why are all the beans gone? (in my Jack Sparrow voice). I'm in the Middle TN area. I've been scouring remote locations to support my beans habit.

Get off the VR pipe and use your math skills. It is cheaper to buy GCs at the close locations than waste gas and wear & tear to visit remote locations.
