Does anyone know if Simon counts as department store for Citibank CCs?

I also got MISC & SPECIALTY RETAIL SHOPS for Merchant Category on my Simon GC purchase with Discover. I don't think that will count, though.

I'm still perplexed by how many MO yall seem to be talking about. I've heard time and time again how doing a lot of MO will get your (bank) account(s) shut down...then I read this thread and it seems like people are doing 10-20k/mo with no issues. Do yall have like 10 bank accounts and do one per account or something?

Second, as long as you don't give the banks reason to be suspicious it is less likely for them to take action. If you are causing them to file many reports this might make them not like you as a customer. I personally won't hold funds that I am ready to deposit until another day. If I have over $10k then I'll do that vs splitting it up over 2-3 days.
I use 1 account (95% of the time) but have a couple others opened. I'll use the other accounts if its more convenient went driving by, but only for convenience sake.
I think you mean $10-20k per week not month. $10-20k a month isn't that much especially spread out.

What is the best way to cash these out? I've been doing the trip to Walmart, but it takes too much time!
Any faster ways? Do this work on Facebook payments?

To me that's an impressive amount. There may be peeps that do more but WOW. Where the heck are people (you) purchasing MO's in those numbers?

It's much more limited than previously -- two WMs have stopped allowing MO purchases with GCs since I started, and many sources for $500 GCs have dried up. That's why I go all the way to the Simon Mall now.
There are people doing much more than I do.

Mostly WMs -- I go to the out-of-town Simon Mall, buy $9500 in GCs, hit up a suburban WM on the way back for $4000 in MOs, buy $2000 in MOs at the only WM in town that allows it, buy $1500 in MOs at the only Hy-Vee in town that allows it, then go to Target to fill Redcards or get rid of the remaining $2000 at the same WM the next day.
