Side question: Does anyone know if Navy is still doing double points for 2018?

Does Sam's sell VGC's that can be purchased with a credit card?
Discover has warehouse clubs as a 5% category this quarter, so that could cover a lot of sins in terms of the purchase fee.

Discover is not going to be much of a MS modality IMO.

I went to my local Sam's today, they do have 500 VGC/MGC at the gift card part. However, when I tried to check out, the cashier told me that this card cannot be used(It did not go through the computer). However, 250 works fine so I assume that the 500 is still not available even if it is in store now. Maybe wait a few days but who knows,

So back to the original question, does SC sell VGC's with a credit card? I guess I can just go and find out.

I'm aware of the issue. This is my first year with a Discover card, so I get double, meaning it would be $150. It wouldn't be my primary MS activity, but why leave something like that on the table? Also, Wholesale Clubs are a category for the fourth quarter, and Grocery Stores (I have one locally that sells GC's) for the second quarter.

Just was able to get 2 old stock Vanilla MGCs from the back of the stack. Interesting thing though; only the cards in a black package with a bluish gift would scan. There were also several old $500s in a yellow package with a birthday cake that would NOT scan and in fact the Sam's Club guy who was helping me went and pulled ALL of the yellow packs from the display (including the $250 max ones) to send back to the vendor.

I bought 2 $250 VGC's at SC today. When I went to WM and tried to use them to buy money orders, no go. I called Metabank and was told "Because gift cards are anonymous and money orders are anonymous, you can't use gift cards to buy money orders under the Patriot Act."
However, I went back to WM later in the day and tried to use them for bill pay, and I was able to. I used the last 4 of the card number as the PIN. So I just paid the credit card bill of the card I bought them with. Actually I made small payments on two Visa cards, and now I'll have to wait a few days to see if they post properly.
