Best unknown methods for MS
 
Hello everyone, this thread is for us to all disclose our best unknown methods for MS. This is the thread where we reveal our "golden goose" that no one else (or very few) knows about yet. If its a topic covered in another thread or has been blogged about in the past, please do not post it here.
Instead this thread is for fresh ideas, lucrative new unknown methods of MS, the kind of methods that you hope will last forever because its easy to do and the cost/return ratio is so high.
As Tiberius would say post away "my little fishies".

This sound like a "I will show me yours, if you show me mine, but you go first" type of thing.

rufflesinc Mar 20, 2014 2:02 pm

I've already posted mine, 5%+1mile/$ NET, but apparently everyone thinks making online orders and using the self checkout at the grocery is a big hassle :o

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.

Interesting. However, it borders on the line of being immoral and/or wrong. That is clearly a shoddy tactic that should be kept close to the chest unless one desires judgement.

Buying VRs and unloading instantly is simply utilizing the tools available, which are obviously known to the powers that be. Not justifying, just sayin'.

roki Mar 20, 2014 2:14 pm

I'm a little baffled how you're still able to post.

I used a couple times on accident but am sharing it because it's the same portal that jacked me out of 60k miles.

Ok, that's just TOO far... not willing to have the wife stop birth control for miles. Defeats purpose of earning the miles - to USE them ;)

Deleted - I was told in a private message this was sarcasm and really good methods should not be posted here.

commdiver Mar 20, 2014 2:35 pm

I discovered this new thing called Reload. I believe it is "Chocolate Reload". Please, no one tell anyone my secret.

BADELAYS Mar 20, 2014 2:51 pm

My MS
 
I buy giftcards (to bribe) for all grocery store clerks, CVS Cashiers, Card Issuers (including prepaid card issuers) and in the process earn a lot of miles.

Don't tell anyone. This is illegal

Imagine how many miles you could use with a few kids tagging along.

js80 Mar 20, 2014 3:10 pm

Easy. Just take out a no deductible auto insurance policy. Then drive around and smash into lots of things. Put the repair costs on your CC and get a reimbursement check from the insurance company! Rinse and repeat.

Can't believe this one hasn't hit the blogs yet!

First class!

glocklt4 Mar 20, 2014 3:43 pm

Ok, I'll go ahead and share one...

When the collection tray comes around at church, I quietly collect cash from the plates at the back so that I can buy ReloadIts for when the managers say they are Cash Only. I then bill pay them back to the church (minus the $3.95 fee of course!). This is pretty much a perpetual machine of ReloadIts since everyone keeps giving more and more at church. What's also great is you get to write off all the donations on your taxes this way too! I haven't paid income tax in years!!

Please don't spread this though, I need as much cash out of the collection tray as I can get to keep this up.

Oh come on, that's what child labor is for. Get those booger pickers to work!

Mine's sort of complicated:

ro -> fl -> co -> pt -> er

particlemn Mar 20, 2014 4:24 pm

I buy vanilla reloads at office depot to load to my bluebird and pay bills, the trick is you have to use cash to buy them, the real trick I knowing how to get 5x using cash.

3ZeroT Mar 20, 2014 4:29 pm

Barnyard surely all these secrets are discussed on your Reddit forum? You know like that one weird trick...

StartinSanDiego Mar 20, 2014 4:40 pm

I just get sign up bonuses for dead or nearly dead people. The dead ones don't travel and the nearly dead ones don't have a clue. When you talk about bluebirds they look out the window, and ice cream is a welcome mealtime dessert.

Isn't this what everybody does?

Oh-- was I supposed to keep that a secret?

This was too funny!!!!! :D

I can get unlimited cash advances on any debit card. It doesn't matter the balance; usually you can get around 10K, maybe more if the time is right. All you do is go into the bank wearing a ski mask and hand a note to the teller saying "I want all the cash". 99 times out of 100, she'll just fill up a bag for you, no card swipe needed!

You do have to make sure to get out fast, though. Once word spreads, the cops try to shut you down.

rufflesinc Mar 20, 2014 5:23 pm

Wow not only are you guys not helpful, you're not funny.

Honestly! Did you have to go blabbing this secret stuff all over the place? Just please don't do this kind of MS'ing in my town. I'm having enough trouble without this kind of publicity. First people get the cashiers all worked up by hollering for upper management when they won't scan 8544 gift cards disguised as debit cards, then, as if p.o'ed cashiers aren't enough to coax off the ledge, they hide the VR's all over the store. This forces me to get ugly with the staff, who really should know where their store inventory is... after all, it's their store-- I just shop there.

I'm just fed up with the way ya'll keep the goodies for yourself.
