Buying money orders at walmat to acquire points
« on: November 27, 2011, 10:47:01 PM »
Had an idea, would love to hear everybody's thoughts. It cost .60 cents to buy a money order at walmart and u can buy one up to 1000 dollars with a maximum of two money orders a day, and you can pay your credit card bill directly with the money order.  I think it would be a great way to acquire points and I have no problem paying .60 cents for every 1000 points. Does anybody have any idea if that would trigger any red flags or reviews?

Don't think you can charge a money order to a credit card.

You can't buy a money order with a cc.
I used to do this with my Key CO debit card, but that card is history.

How about AMEX Travelers Cheques, is this considered a financial transaction, or will it post points.

Did u try searching?
Search for "spending requirements" and you will find threads that discuss all of the different methods for this purpose.

There is no limit on the MO’s you can but in a day at Wal-Mart. Look for debit cards with a PIN.
