If you want to buy $300 the system auto updates at 11pm Central time. I buy everynight at that time and they are in stock. after they are sold out in about 15 minutes they are gone so no point to keep refreshing

I don't get how people profit buying $300 visa gift card using 5back visa gift card.

If you use ink, you also get 5% back. Why bother using the 5back visa gift card.

Do I miss something here?

Ink is limited to $50K per card per year (Plus or Bold) or $25K (Cash). Many of us max it out on the Office Depot / OfficeMax sales.

Updated: Chase Ink Cash is the one limited to $25K (but has no annual fee), not Bold.

So the charges finally reposted with a transaction date of 03/25 and a post date of 03/27. My deadline was 03/21. Looks like I won't be getting my sign up bonus points. I sent an SM to the Ur team. Do you think there is any chance they would honor these purchases?

Did Chase Change the limits recently?

I have CHASE INK BOLD, I have the original printed collateral materials that came with the card. The materials I have show INK BOLD earning 5 points per $1 on the first $50,000 spent annually at office supply stores, etc.

Did this limit change to $25,000 recently?

Anyone?

It's been like that for a while, I would say more than a year.

Oops, you are right. I got Bold ($50K) and Cash ($25K) mixed up.

Plus is credit card ($50K office / $95 AF), Bold is charge card ($50K office / $95 AF), Cash is credit card with no annual fee ($25K office).

I only have one (Plus) and maxed the $50K out on the Office Depot Visa/MasterCard offers.

Yes, I think there is a chance they will honor the purchase, but it isn't a guarantee. Good luck!

Also, Ink is a business card, and some people don't have an Ink because they don't have a business.

I went to get a $300 visa gift card using 5back visa gift card. Unfortunately, the cashier blocked the transaction stating that a gift card cannot be used to buy another gift card. I just said Thanks and walked away -- is this typical or I just ran into bad luck
