The real question is , what is the mcc code for it? If it's just a 1x category it's not worth a whole lot besides meeting min spend

Simon malls sell variable visas and Amex up to $500 for 2.95 They're usbank but I called and got a pin easily. Cheap if you're not buying in a category bonus.

Buy concert and sporting event tickets at face value. Resell on stubhub. If you know what's going to be worth a lot you can actually make money in addition to MSing miles and points. The fact that people do this as a career should be a good sign.

Oh and you have to live in the midwest.

There are also some CCs that have a long hold time for pending charges. If you combine that with the right portal, and a merchant that rejects your order after accepting it ...


Also 0.8 cents per UR point very rapidly using ink, staples.com, UR portal, and visa small biz.

Can someone confirm that this posts as a Cash Advance on all Cards? (Chase, Amex, etc...). Looks like it would be a very viable option for people living in NC.

when I log into my credit union account to purchase one, it only allows debit from one of my accounts, no credit card option. I don't have a credit union visa, but I don't believe they have any points earning ones anyway.

Also how do you go about buying these VGC at Simon Malls ?
