I didn't try the "new" layout, but the cashback from my purchases on the SC card have already been issued in my monthly statement so those were definitely credited. I'll check the "new" layout for the MRs later when I'm not on mobile.

If you're fine with waiting, online is the same and some cards code it as a bonus category, or at least used to. In store I personally prefer because it's less than a 10 minute drive away, plus I become friendly with all of the girls there so it just makes it easier.

if doing online & waiting for cards to come, net cost order after cb from GCM is lower; just monitor acct afterwards for potential fraudulent trxn

I have a Citi Premier card and I'm not aware of an online bonus.

Does anyone know if a Simon GC purchase of $6,500 will count towards the annual minimum spend on the Amex OBC?
