USAA, IMHO, is pretty conservative so proceed with caution.

Wondering the same thing here... Also, wondering when they'll just open it up to all states (mine isn't included in their "Pilot" yet).

Rewards post when the transaction posts (typically within two days) rather than when the statement posts.

I would still be cautious about cycling credit limits, but light and maybe not blatantly obvious MS should be okay.

Have not had any issues so far. Not crushing it but not kid gloves either.

Have you been cycling CL? If so how many times per cycle? Also curious if you have the Alliant 3% card how that is going I did 75% of CL my first cycle with Alliant (still waiting on it to close before repeating).

Try to avoid cycling on any cards. Well, other than C1 that I don't care if they dump me for life cuz they are, well, C1

Is ms even really worth it with this card, if you say buy 4 cards at $500 each to equal $2k.
You would get $50 -$5.95/$4.95 VGC =$30.2/$26.2 - $1.40 MO = $28.6/24.6 for all that driving around and risking a credit card shut down.

YMMV

What is worth it to you may not be worth it to someone else.
Net $33.60 per four card cycle if you buy at Simon and liquidate two per MO at WM

I completely agree. I am new to MS and from all the articles i looked it seemed as though they were making quite a bit.

I did find a simon mall 45 mins away from me. Perhaps if i did it every 24 hrs i would have $900+ per mth so with that logic yes it is worth it.

MS is very much like real estate. Location, location, location.

I wouldn't ever risk my relationship with USAA since they have been so good to me over the years. Don't **** where you eat.
