Let’s look back at what your last couple weeks may have been like. The first assumption is that you have a Chase Ink Bold and an Ink Plus card. With them, you’ve been buying $200 Visa gift cards every day. Conservatively, maybe 9 of them on each card. That means you’ve been earning 18,000 Ultimate Rewards points every day. Considering, you’ve also been making a few bucks doing this, it has been well worth the effort, right? Wait…you haven’t earned 100,000+ points in the last 2 weeks? Sorry! Well, here’s the way I’ve been doing it:
- Making sure my Visa Business cards are registered with Visa Savings Edge. This gives me 1% back on the Staples purchases.
- Accessing Staples through Swagbucks. That was the best portal for a while. Now their 6% back has dropped to 4%. Upromise is a good portal choice at 5%.
- Buying gift cards.
- Waiting on my friendly mailman to deliver them.
- Cashing them out. Maybe by using Amazon Payments and/or loading Bluebird at WalMart. I’m assuming you have access to multiple accounts with each. Or maybe you have a friendly store willing to sell you money orders with debit cards.
- Racking up points.
- Taking fun trips.
