This week was a tough one for the manufactured spend and points community. I stumbled upon points.com on Top Cash Back.
I am currently in the process of testing out cash back through buying Amtrak points and seeing if I would receive 4% back.
US Airways 100% Bonus
If you are using points.com to buy any miles or have wait for a promotion like US Airways or American Airlines, the 4% back could potentially reduce the overall cost. Let’s use the current US Airways 100% promotion of 50,000 miles.
- Buy 50,000 miles and receive 50,000 miles
- Cost: $1750 – $.0175/mile
- After TopCashBack 4% Cost: $1680 – $.0168/mile
- Savings: $70
