I don't need it for spending thresholds. I'm using the Ink Bold card and buying them at Walgreens.
To get 1x the points?

So what are UR points worth to you?
Minimum is 1 cent each (you can get statement credits from chase), which is still less than you're paying for them, but a rotten deal. If you use them or sell them people say they're worth anywhere from 1.4 cents and up. (From what I've heard).

But you're better off looking for an office supply store that sells them.

Also, Chase Freedom has 5x points at pharmacies one quarter a year...

Please no. 

Did you read the thread?

Someone's asking if buying points at 1cpm to sell @ 1.4 is worth the hassle.

This should be moved to js.

Does it make any sense to buy the $100 cards for 5.95? There are no $200's probably because of all the ddfers ;-)

IMHO, find another store or find out when the new stock arrives.

If you're not in a DDF-heavy area and there are no $200s on the rack, ask an intelligent-looking clerk if they have some behind the counter or in the GC display case.  No less than 6 times this past 30 days in multiple stores I had to ask a clerk to pull them out for me.

If you're in a DDF-heavy area...well...sorry :)
