It’s now May and here is my performance:
Above is my screen shot of my year to date performance to May. Ultimate Reward points creation is by far the easiest due to the generous bonuses in category (Ink Bold), quarterly promotions (Freedom Visa and MasterCard), and online portal.
The last time I took a screenshot, I had mentioned SPG was out of whack because it was brand new. It is now two months old and the number is accurate. I was able to purchase a handful of gift cards and make a small amount of money. My American Airlines card is brand new, but that number is accurate. I am making money with it. However, I do not plan on continuing to use this card until I hit the minimum spend requirement.
With gift card churning, my return is 98% overall. Plastic Jungle has the highest return because of the 2.5% cash back from TopCashBack. The total cash back is from earning cash back from various means of double dipping like buying a PayPal My Cash and using the PayPal Debit card for 1% back.
