I'm getting lucky w/ my Staples and VCGs this go around. There is one I go to that's close to the Walmart I load at. I've done $1k there a few times now. Today I hit the one by the gym, they were almost cleaned out of VGCs, I did $400 ($200 on one amex, $200 on another). I have 2 other Amex I was gonna put spends on, but I didn't want to make the cashier do 4 different cards, so that will be Thursday's adventure after yoga. I need to load onto the Serve, maybe that's tomorrow's fun. Well that and closing my Huntington acct. I need to find a good bank bonus.
For those w/ more than one Serve, do you use the same info (name, etc) when ordering others? I should get a back up incase I'm shut down.
And for those that got the popup w/ Amex, how soon after putting some spends on your cards till you try again? Do I need to wait for the statements to close out? I just put $400 spend on 2 of them, in addition to using them last week while in NC (for small purchases here and there). I booked a night at Kalahari on one tonight. I'm about to switch our car insurance to my delta gold biz (I scored the offer, and the ex is fine w/ me taking over the payments...yes our car insurance is still together, LOL). So that will get a monthly spend of $200+ every month. My Amex everyday has an offer for added MR if I use it to pay my cellphone bill so the Aug/Sept/Oct bills will be on that as well. In other words, all 4 of my Amex will now have some decent spends on them and several will have monthly bills now. So how long should I wait? Is there any harm in trying daily? I'm trying to go for the Hilton Biz. I have the Surpass, the Aspire, Delta Gold Biz and Everyday. I just closed the SPG when my AF hit and to make room for the Hilton Biz.
