Q2 2024 Chase Freedom 5% Categories: Restaurants, Hotels, Amazon.com

Hi all, is there a cost-effective MS possibility this quarter? GCs on Amazon max out at 200 and costs more than even the 500VGCs at Walmart. Are there any other options?

Are you talking about buying VGCs on Amazon? Why when you can just load up on Amazon GC credit and get 5% off on your purchases.

Thank you for the response! Yes this could be an option but I unfortunately don't have a 1500 spend on Amazon.

Why do u need to spend it all in one quarter? Just spend it throughout the year. Or you can cough up and pay the VGC price. I mean it has restaurants so use it for restaurants.

Don't see any other good way to do MS with Chase in Q2 other than organic spend

Yes, there a few restaurants you can ms at without leaving the house. You need to just place an order for future delivery date or pick up day then cancel it. YOU get your dining multiplier and the restaurants are ms friendly.

I do not see this as scalable, but curious as to what are you refunding back to, surely not the same CC ?

Please confirm for yourself, but I have read several places online that say Whole Foods will also code as 5X this quarter. WF sells VGCs. However, iirc, the highest they sell is $200s, which would not be cost effective. But you should check your local WF, you might get lucky.

How does this work if they refund to your payment method? I don't get it.

They dont refund to your payment method. They refund to any payment that you would like. Wire, check, paypal etc. If you want the link send me a dm. Ill put you with a few retailers that do this at no cost.

Its definitely saleable. YOu can spend 500 dollar or more at a restaurant or catering service every day. With amx gold its giving me over 2k points per day. Plus im using gift cards that i buy from cvs daily and they unload ON SPORTS BETTING APPS for me. Its 3x with chase freedom. So thats 6k points per day with chase. EVERY DAY. works like a charm. a few other plays in there too are working but those are the main ones and incur no fees.
