I mean restaurants should be pretty easy to get at least half of the quarterly bonus. I am not sure if BBB sells 3rd party GCs but I'll give it a shot and look. Maybe someone can confirm if this is the case. Hopefully BBB sells a lot of 3rd party GCs. Some gas cards would be nice.

Well in terms of earning power, buying $200 VGCs is not any different than what people do with buying $200 VGCs with their Ink cards at Staples. In both instances you are earning 5x UR points. If you have an Ink or CSP card to transfer to partner airlines this is great since it doesn't cut into the $50K cap of the Ink cards. I gotta explore to see if other BBBs sell $200 VGCs.

not exactly MS, but does anyone know if the iphone/android app Reserve will code as restaurant, or instead will be some kind of third party payment processing category?
there are referral credits that get you a net $20 off at a restaurant ($25 credit for signing up minus the $5 fee that the app charges), but not sure if using the app would count for the 5x for freedom. anyone have data points?

Im sure 99% of people on this board have an ink if they have a freedom, so random GCs aren't that helpful. It needs to be GCs that we can get with freedom that we cant get with ink. Anyway, better than nothing still.

since both categories are limited, this is not necessarily true. Im sure plenty of people find it useful.
