I believe it states that you must use an Ultimate Rewards linked card but from experience I know it works with any CC. YMMV

A quick search turned up the answer to your question.

The answer is YMMV depending on the store/website.

Some stores report back to the shopping portal that the item was retuned. It has nothing to do with what CC you used in this case.

This happens at many stores as I have tried to explain in past posts. It is trial and error but you will be amazed at what’s out there. Also don't always believe them when it says you don't earn rewards on GC purchases!

Also it says for purchases on iPhones - limit of 2 per 30 days. I bought 8 of them this month and got UR points for all

Are u sure about that? I would think that if I purchase the item on my chase cc then chase wouldn't need any notification from the store letting them know that I returned the item. They would know by themselves.   CMIIW

Just curious,  did you pay with sapphire/IB, or with a different cc?

The point I was making is when the store reports back the item was returned they will take back the UR points no matter what CC/debit/cash it was returned to.

My point was that when using a chase cc its not necessary for the store to report back bec chase will know about it either way.

So even if its a store that doesn't report,  chade will know about and deduct the points.  CMIIW

Now it is the right hand, left hand thing. If you get a chance maybe give it a try and report back. It would be a great data point.

I paid with the Sapphire.

I myself really want to know on what sites I would be able to get the UR points and pay with a different card.
On buy.com there usually is 5 extra points per $ also at staples.com 5 extra

I often have my card maxed out - with only the $5k credit limit, and I pay a few times per month, but they dont let more than $5k in pending charges (unlike Amex)

So I really would wanna use different cards with UR

I'm gonna guess that you resell them?
. . . Which leads me to my next question which is totally OT, Why do people buy them on eBay at a higher price then they cost in the store?? (If not ebay, s
Why anywhere?)

Definitely will. It usually takes a few months for the bonus points to post,  so don't expect to be hearing back anytime soon.

You can use my sapphire card in your UR mall. I will get the base points and you will the bonus points.  How does that sound  :)

By the way, I think that the following works - if you buy a gift card from best buy, and then use it to make a purchase through UR Mall, you still get the UR Mall bonus points.
