No need to procrastinate. This quarter ends on November 23 and then resets with 10% for another $1500. Sorry for explaining it well in my first post.

Found it on reddit.

Holy... 10%. Gonna have to brainstorm on how best to cap out that $1,500.

 

[Matt]

Technically it's both 5% on the first $1500 then another 10% on the next after the qualifying period.

Hmm I still haven't done the first $1500, so I need to do that ASAP.

How do you all spend so much at those retailers? I've been racking my brain to come up with enough for our two Freedom cards, now it's doubled! So far I have our regular Amazon spend, plus some restaurant cards we can use, and a wedding gift. That adds up to less than $2000. I looked at reselling gift cards, but I can't see how to make them worth the effort/cost. I've been resisting reselling just for the sheer amount of time involved, but there are 45,000 UR points on the table!

I want a +1 on DebraE's question. What sort of plans does anyone have for spending the $1500 over the next 5 weeks for the 10% return on Freedom? I could float $1500 on amazon, it would get spent eventually... but don't want to. I might be able to spend $750 on there for Christmas. Dont suppose Amazon balance can float over to Amazon payments?

I just saw that they added an Amazon Home services section. Now you can hire house cleaners, handymen, ect. through Amazon. It looks like they are offering a first time discount and portal discounts on services. Might be a good way to knock out some spending.

Same question. Maybe they are able to make people spend more than they should/could. Unless one has a solid plan on MSing without costs (such as reselling and at worst breaking even), I don't see how I can come out ahead.

Ir almost pulled the trigger on using this for a drain cleaning. The companies in the mix were poorly rated elsewhere however.

Will I get the bonus if I simply buy Amazon Gift Cards for myself? Than I can spend the credit from the gift cards at my leisure.

Yes.

Scott, that's my strategy. Buy as much in gift cards as I can float/use in the next few months. They also have a few merchant gift cards to stock up on.

I've been reloading my Amazon gift card balance and then using that balance for groceries from Amazon Fresh.
