I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Kohl's gives 10 UR points now through the mall. Is there a way to get the 10 UR plus the 5 UR for Freedom via GCs?

They do have gift cards, but a very limited selection. I am looking for Amazon or BP.

Does the Chase Freedom (visa) have Extended Warranty coverage? According to the csr I just spoke to it does, and he reffered me to the visa website for me info. But according to the visa website only the visa signature cards have it. Can anyone clarify this for me?
