These are a dime a dozen, but invalidate cb.

Sorry. Does that mean it doesn't count towards spending as credit?

Is there a thread to read about that.
I'm really just interested in meeting a spending bonus for as cheap as possible

you'll want to check out this thread: http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=2422.0

before buying amex gift cards you should probably figure out how you're going to cash them out.

It's not a good idea to rely on square because they can shut you down any day
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Then you'll want to think about whether you're earning enough in points to offset the fees.

there are probably cheaper ways to do that. Have you seen the amexserve thread, the bluebird thread, or the target redcard thread?

Serve is 1k a month, more if you have a smartphone. No fees. Go for it! (and set it up today so you can get in 5 days of November).
If you have serve questions post them in the serve thread - but read the wiki first.

Looking to buy a few amex gift cards for holiday gift for clients. Are there ever any discounts or deals on gift cards (other than a code for no fees)? Also are there places you can pick up amex gift cards without fees so you can avoid the shipping charges? TIA

I think I heard that this week they're fee free at CVS - might want to check.
