I will be dipping myself into 5x$500 today to meet the minimum spend on my Amex SPG.

I've dipped my toes into the Amex for Target twice now and found a bank near me with a $1.50 withdrawl fee.

Is Black Friday as crazy in the gift card world as it is in the merchandise world? I'm thinking we can MS like crazy on BF without putting up any red flags.
There are better MS opportunities than AFT. You should look into those and use AFT as a last resort (or supplement once you have maxed those out).

Amex for Target. Not to be confused with the popular Target Redcard (aka Redbird). They are separate products.

As cdancer mentioned, don't bother with AFT. Its not worth the hassle with Target CC loads gone since there are soo many load/unload fees.

LOL, if they fell under Dept Stores, than they would be A HELL OF A LOT more popular. This is a 1x store for all credit cards that I know of.

Simon Malls is a 1x category for most CC unless one uses a #x everywhere else CC like the Citi Hilton Reserve that earns 3x.

Looking for a new way to MS since previous Amazon Payments, Serve, and RedBird methods started drying up. I'm thinking about buying simon mall visa gift cards, loading it onto RedBird, and Bill Paying it out.

Is the Simon Mall Visa Prepaid Gift Card available in NJ now? I know last year it wasn't.

I'm also looking for new tips to MS and would be grateful to anyone who wants to share .

Not available in NJ. You can only get Amex GCs at Simon Malls. It has been this way forever. I remember I couldn't even order cards online if I had a NJ address. Don't know where you are but you could go up to Rockland County, NY or out towards Allentown, PA

I dont think Rockland has them. The Nanuet mall doesn't seem to have an office that sells them unless I'm missing something.

SM 1.5 miles (cents) with discover IT Miles card coz 1.5 miles for all spending. No limit. I don't know where the miles/points can be transferred. Not really worth it.

Addition to post: actually 3 miles (cents) with IT Miles card as all points earned will be doubled after 12 months.
