How do YOU meet spend requirements?
« on: July 20, 2011, 03:44:23 PM »
So in a fit of ecstasy I applied for 8 cards this week :)  I got instant approval on SPG 30k for both me and my wife, which means I now have to spend 9k in the next 3 months.  If we both get the Sapph card (pending), I'm looking at an additional 6k.  Plus possibly 4 small purchases to meet the requirements on two CO and two UA cards (also pending). 

I usually let my boss buy some stuff with my cards but at most he'll spend about 2k every 6 weeks on my cards.  And lately it's been slower.  The last time I had to meet a big spending requirement I bought Amex GCs and then bought coins but that was over 7 months ago.  Is it true GCs don't work at the mint now?  Can I buy coins directly with my Sapph cards?  If I remember correctly using an Amex card to buy directly from the mint causes problems. 

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.
