Not the easiest card to get for a lot of people. Business recon is very tough.

I would get the MS anyway at target by loading with cc as opposed to vgc

You will still be making a few dollars on the Staples deal.

2 x $206.95 = $413.95 - $20 rebate = $393.95 for $400 worth of GC's. Profit of $6.05 and points.

6 bucks to get the gcs and load them at target? Not sure it's worth the 6 bucks

Can be scaled if you have a few addresses to use.

why not? you also get the points you would have gotten loading at target with CC.

If you had to make a big trip it might not be worth $6, but if it's right nearby...

Also, if places make a big deal about no CC and only DC or cash, these GC's will be fine.

You only work 2 min from Staples and it might be a good idea to diversify your spend.

Also, it's slightly more cost effective to only get $200 + $50 in gift cards if you don't have an ink. I think the fee on the $50 card is cheaper.

Cheaper by a $2. I believe its $4.95 for $50 and $5.95 for $100

So now profit is up to 8 bucks
Interesting

I did it
Spent $261.90
So even if I use these on purchases I'm still ahead the 8 bucks and no real effort to this point

Depends how you value the points you will get from the extra $150 spend.

if you don't have ink and use RC you have no gain in buying GC over loading RC directly from RC

Got it.

Though like i said, someone may value the extra 150 points more than the $2. And once they are already buying GC's for the rebate, may be worthwhile for them.
