Best Credit Card for Stubhub
Hi All - Currently using my bold ink to purchase vanilla giftcards and unloading a lot on stubhub since I buy a ton of tickets. Was curious if anyone has any suggestions on a good credit card/scheme for someone who buys and unloads lots of tickets weekly. I purchase about $1000 vanillas a week with ink and use those to purchase at least $1000 of tickets a week. I am getting a lot of points but sacrificing a lot of $7 fees. Hoping for a way around it or better credit card.

Do you have a Kroger nearby? I have seen Stub Hub gift cards, and they earn gas points. If you hit during a 4X points promo with a 6% grocery card (Amex BCP) you end up netting 20% - if you can get 35 gallons of gas at once to maximize the gas rewards.

this. buy stubhub GC at grocery or OSS and win!
you should also keep in mind the opportunity cost of using stubhub GC. From experience, I can tell you that you no longer earn the 'fan rewards' points, which can be like 3% back if you're buying a lot of tickets. So keep this in mind in your math, as it makes a bit of a difference. You'd still probably come out ahead buying Stubhub GC (as opposed to $206.95s) with Ink
