Just an update--
my payments to Chase and Amex using my VGCs posted for both today (2 days after payment). In both cases, the card issuers simply show them as electronic payments. Nothing other to differentiate them.
Despite the noob's dire opinion (which has not been backed up with any specific examples), I fail to see how making payments this way is going to trigger anything assuming you aren't doing anything nutty on the purchase side or going negative on your balance.
Since there are a myriad of bill pay options available on standard checking accounts, I seriously doubt they care if you're using this one to pay them.

Second, I don't see why they'd really care frankly, since my belief is they could care less where and when electronic payments that are automatic and humans don't look at.
The irony is unless you're trying to meet spend on a Chase or Amex, the fees and time investment alone are going to limit this from being a way to churn say the 100k Citi cards. You can't effectively arbitrage these as everyday spending rewards outside of large sign-up bonuses with Chase or Amex as well (or if you're still doing normal spending with Chase and Amex on top of trying to meet a Citi bonus).

I am surprised so many newer FlyerTalkers don't list their locations or airport codes. So much of this MS is local , they may be missing out on PMs with local suggestions
