sonofabitch…how the hell did i miss this. i got the alert last night on Big Crumbs raising today (then woke up dissapointed) when I would have jumped ALL OVER 2.25% yesterday. I got the email as well apparently…but somehow it marked it as read before i could read it. UGH!!
When reloading with an Amex GC, should I tell the cashier I’m paying with Debit or Credit?
Thanks!
Credit
Which are banks or financial companies is it safe to charge from? Please answer if you have current experience.
Yep, $10,000 and $100,000.
Damn, I wanted to do $1 million
TopCashBack is stating higher limits per 14-day-period:
“Please note; there is a $10,000 limit on Consumer Gift Cards and $100,000 limit on Business Gift Cards per 14 days.”
Can anyone confirm whether Amex raised the limits? I’ve already purchased 5K in the last 14 days, but if they’ve raised the limits (for the holidays?), then I’ll happily grab another 5K at 2.25% cash back!!
It appears that Amex has raised the limits. Great!
Can you load amex cards on new Target Redbird?
That is what the case for now. I haven’t tried by myself but I read positive response on FT so far.
If FM can confirm, I will consider going in for 2000 today.
Yes it definitely works. One caveat: some cashiers may ask to match your ID to the name on your credit card. In that case you have a couple of options: 1) do you first REDbird load with a regular credit card then after they check your ID, ask to do a second load and pay with your Amex gift card; 2) order a personalized amex gift card and put your name on it.
Awesome. Will do that way then
Yes
