I was going to use AS but went with straight CB. Most do pay out until they go belly up.

Whats AS?

Not CB, but they occasionally offer multiple ppd when buying AGC through their portal.

1.75% of a $500 VGC is $8.75. That's a lot to give up just to save a trip to Walmart, especially since I bring 8-10 cards with me at a time...

Don't think you are following. My 5X cards are maxed. I have a 2.5% card with a nice CL. Should I just let it sit there?

You are not the first but why the heck would you send from your own c.c?

They are pretty stringent and even when calling them, it would be hard to convince them. However, I would try to call and explain that you know it's against the rules to use your own CC however, you jus wanted to test it out, which is why it was only $1. Maybe they'll help you out.

Worth a try but I highly doubt they will give in easily

I just called and the CSR said she will send it to the higher ups (like AP always did and usually never worked)... I'm not banking on it... But it's worth a try
