FYI: CVS will stop participating in the 5back visas Jan 20 according to the Five Back thread. The 5back will not be that appealing after that. Back to TCB and GCM for me.

Got a 'not approved by security screening' order cancellation on my first Simon online purchase for one $500 FB. No idea why. I've bought $8K at GCM in the last month with no big issue.

For the next few days TCB is offering 2.5% back instead of the regular 2%.
I placed a 2k order and for the first time in a year of ordering from GCM a security agent called me and verified my info. Was told it was a random security check. |

I have a purchase through TCB from 10/19 that has posted and paid out over two weeks ago and a purchase from 10/21 that has been confirmed but not payable. Interesting.

I have been placing 4 X $500 orders so far, and am thinking of increasing to 6 X $500 to complete minimum spend in one shot. Has anyone had any problems with $3k orders but not with $2k?

For TCB 2.5%, looks like it is for other gift cards. It is only 1.25% for visa. Is it posted 2.5% for all visa? Or only for the new fiveback visa?

I don't see shipping charge difference between 2k and 3k, both are ~$10.

Anything above 2k you would have to pay extra for shipping.

I always go for about $1995 minus taxes to avoid paying for shipping and maximize NY profits. |
What the general methodology regarding GCM?
Seems like I can buy a Simon Visa GC online. Pay $504.44. Take said card to Walmart for a $0.70 money order. Deposit MO in bank account. Pay CC. Given 1% back CC (CSR), this is essentially paying $0.14 for 504.44 miles right?? Doesn't sound like I'm doing it right.. |
