We try to do the limits on those sites first and order/goto Simon when we need more. We have had a lots of trips, so gotta get it done somehow while we can.

Nope, Simon purchases are still not counting towards 15K free night but they do still count towards 40K yearly Diamond spend. I haven't tried buying the cards online and really don't want to deal with online orders just for a free night.

Simon will not count for minimum spend requirements (signup bonus), but they will earn points.

Yes it does, as 2X is the for every merchant category until you hit $50K in calendar year. It would be that or 0X, and for me it is still 2X MRs

Naaa, no experience with that. I like buying my Simon VGCs at the Simon Malls and have them in hand to go liquidate at my middle of nowhere Mid West Wallys. Because I am usually on an airplane running from east to west and back (inside the USA), I do not do online purchases of VGCs. Maybe someone else can help you with this one.

How much are the 1K vgc that business owners can buy from Simon? I thought they were $6.95 per 1K.

Looking to hit the Delta MQD Waiver, guessing the spend at Simon won't count. Anyone have any luck? Probably going to go with Giftcard Mall now that the portals are live.
