FM you forgot to say it’s business cards only! You got me all excited and then…BUMMER! 🙁
Any workaround to getting a business card even if you don’t own a business?
I had no idea it was limited to business cards. That said, you can easily just make up a business name or use your own name as the business name, and use your SSN as the Tax ID. You do not have to pay with a business card.

How long do they take to payout? TCP usually pays out in 6 weeks while others take 3+ months to payout.
Their website says “Payment will be sent to you after cleared cash back reaches the minimum payment threshold. Each store has its own return policy, and typically it will take 30-60 days for cash back to clear.”
They are way to slow, do you think, TCB will match this offer?
Yes, TCB, has matched offers in the past for me (Feb 2015); that is the thing to do; screenshot copy Simply Best Coupons 2% offer, then send to TCB with your match request; then they will match it!
Do you know whether I will 1.5 miles/per dollar if I buy Amex GCs with Discover Miles card? Thanks!
Yes, it should
Some people have reported cash advance fees with Discover, so becareful.
I have used Discover to by AGC in past 2-3 months, it treats as CA initially and then post as a purchase.
I’ve never heard of SBC. I consider Top Cashback one of the best out there for keeping you updated on what phase your transaction is in and how fairly quickly they post credits etc.
How does SBC compare to other cashback sites, are they one of the better ones or crappy ones?
an extra .5% is not worth the chance of getting 0% or a lot more headache if these guys suck.
I don’t have any experience with them, but they get decent reviews: http://www.cashbackholic.com/review.php?p=SimplyBestCoupons.com
