Thanks, I have used Vanilla+bluebird and after that stopped, now AFT.

I am just trying to understand the popular methods folks are using now.

If my understanding is right, does it work like this

Cost for 6K MS:

Amex Fee: $7.90
Amex Shipping: $8.95

AFT Loading 3*6 : $18.00
AFT ATM Fee (assuming costco 15*1.25) : $18.75
AFT ATM Withdrawal Fee 3*15 : $45.00


Total cost: $98.60

Cashback at 1.5% : $90.00

Final cost: $8.60 (might be little less as first atm withdrawal is free per month)

Sign up for the shipping plan to spread out the costs over the year across all your orders.

The AFT thread talks all about this...

Since we are here, why are you buying 6k in AGC when the max load is 5k/mo per person (unless you are attempting the double swipe on final load method).

Since you would be spending over 100$ a year with shipping, you would break even by purchasing the premium shipping plan for 99$ and woudl give you unlimited overnight deliveries. This is especially valuable when placing multiple orders a month like many of us do.

Your math is off by the way. If this was the case, this is a losing proposition since you would be -$8.60 for doing all this work. You are clearly forgetting at least the additional 1% cash back from using your CC. So minimum cash back should be 2.5% which equates to $150.

Cautiously optimistic that they're improving turnaround time for orders. Today I had my fastest order to shipment time since cash back resumed on New Years. Ordered at 12:30am and received a shipment notification at 3:08pm. Until today my last 7 or 8 orders have all taken at least 24 hours to even be approved.

What's the 14-day limit?
 

I thought the 14-day limit was $5k for Personal. On the BeFrugal site it says $10k (and $50k for Business).
Anybody know what the actual 14-day limit is?

10K is the limit on personal cards. It is also listed on AGC website.

I think the Wiki does

used to be 5k. It was recently changed to 10.

BAM! That was funny

Stoughton is making a killing on the Newb-who-seem-unable-to-do-basic-reading-or-research market these days!

<<throws hands up with resignation>>

Oooh, I feel the burn. To my defense, this was just updated in December.

slickjolly making a killing as wannabe hype man. I've been doing AGCs for 2 years now; definitely an honest mistake.

How do I set PIN on AMEX Gift Cards and use as debit to load Bluebird, buy MOs, etc.?
