I have a 7-11 that codes and rewards as GAS for both Visa and MC, and although it codes as GAS for AMEX, they don't code it for rewards.

Also, to make things even more frustrating, I see that Amex appears to list "Gift card purchase" clearly broken out on statements (even when I purchases a gift card and a six-pack of beer!) - that's more granular than I would like.

There are NO 100% reliable answers to most of these questions. The only way to know is to go into the place, see what they have, buy what they have, and when your credit card bill comes, examine it carefully. You have to get off your arse and try some stuff. Sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn't.

there are lot of people who have already tried out tom thumb and thats why it is mentioned in the wiki.Questions are posted so that people who have tried out can share their data points. FT is for sharing knowledge.
Instead of bumping an thread where the last post was 10 days old and posting an arse reply , why cant people shut their arse and keep quiet

Haven't seen this answered so I'll bump it a bit - do GC sales ever post as a cash advance?

Planning to try MO deposits into prepaid accounts ( t mobile , go bank , account now) using mobile apps.
Do not deposit MO into ur main account , chase , citi checking accounts.
