will buying gc's in a supermarket trigger the 10x MR ?
Does anyone know if Amex receives level 3 transaction reporting on the consumer plat card from supermarkets?
If they do, I'd assume we won't get 10 ppd. If not, then unless you make it obvious with plenty of even $100 transactions, Amex would never know

Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

I just buy other things at the supermarket and throw in a GC or 2.  So its random numbers each time. Doubt their algorithm can or will check that.

Thanks. I would definitely do that too. no sudden abnormal high spend and always mixed with other  groceries. but even so, if they look into level 3 data they can still see gift card purchases.

How long have you been doing this?
Are you receiving x10?
Are your GC's counted toward the minimum spend for a SUB?

I guess what it says coded is 135k max which is true x9 up to 15k is 135k (besides the original x1)

Any idea if the credited purchases (Dell, airline fees) are counted towards the spending requirement?

Is there any way to check how much of the 10X on 15K gas/grocery was already used?
I like vanilla but my name is Venilla.

If I purchase something from Saks and get the $50 credit and need to return it will I have forfeited the credit (assuming they claw it back)?

You don't need to use shoprunner checkout to get the 2 day free shipping. Just sign into shoprunner account on Saks site and use the regular checkout. By shipping make sure you select the free 2 day shoprunner shipping.

Same.  I generally end up throwing in the towel on finding something well priced and just buy makeup that's priced the same as other department stores...

Yes I’ve done it

In regards to everybody else trying to get the credit buy something for $50 & return for a gift card…

Does spending that amex credits for various reasons ie incidental credit, PayPal credit, count towards the sign up bonus spend requirement?
