Amazon Payments Free for $1000. Jos A Bank? You mean to buy on one CC and return on other? You could do that with other stores as well.

Most stores put the charge back on the card you paid with.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

But if you return it after bonus points posted?
Worked for me with the SPG, but I didn't return the full $5,000, just. $200, so dono weather it works with a massive return.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Not sure what this means. I've used APayments to help reach limits on freedom and sapphire, was never charged any fee. It also doesnt work for the rotating amazon category.

Read the Amazon Payments thread, cause if u use this method, you can be FR'd

Make sure that you choose the goods/services option and not cash advance.

Is it worth it to pay my 6 month auto insurance policy upfront in order to meet a spending requirement? Is there any reason why NOT to pay the insurance policy upfront?

I looked through the Amazon Payments thread but finding an answer within 55 pages is kinda tough.  Does AP work with Amex Cards?

Yes.

Can I fund from my Amex and send to wife's bank account which is linked to me as well?

I would assume you get charged a fee (or it may be disguised as a "discount") for paying monthly/quarterly instead of the 6 months up front.  I believe my previous Nationwide policy charged $6/mo if you paid monthly instead of semi-annually.

Yes.

Tread carefully.  I went through a "mini-FR" the first time I used AP with my Amex plat.
