Thats interesting - i went to secaucus and the cashier didnt know how to handle such a large transaction ($5k split bet 4 cards) so he called over the manager. Her first reaction was cash/debit only but them eventually proceeded to let me do it on cc. She even let me run my wifes cards, noting that it was the same last name. Since it was already a whole maysa i didnt try my luck to see if she would let me run the 2 cards that I had with non matching last names.

cashier knew what he was doing and was gonna let me do it. he flipped his sign to closed to handle the person in front of me(big cart lots of stuff) and me without people thinking it would be short since i didnt look like i had anything. the manager came over and asked why and he explained at which point she was like just make sure its cash only...couldnt push too much because none were in my name (already did all those)..downloading the app for next time, worst case scenario i will buy the $200 ones or at least WM gift cards. still worth another trip based on how much i still have to do.

im in queens. i figured between deep in long island or jersey my odds were better in long island

Good tip is to always first use cards with different name if possible.

Rule of thumb: Always try to use other people's cards first.

Does the app work to get the amex credit?

A. The terms say it might not work.
B. Pretty sure sc terms for the app say it won't work for purchasing gift cards
