今天去CVS，发现一堆Vanilla Reload Network，本想用信用卡买一张，再用500块的
American Express gift card买一张，信用卡的成功买到，gift card刷卡后，选择
gift card的选项后系统却无法通过。是不是在CVS无法用gift card（无论是VISA,
MASTERCARD, 还是AMERICAN EXPRESS)来买Vanilla Reload啊？

Well, $6500 used to be the deal killer. But now with UNLIMITED 5% from CVS.
This becomes the new god card. You can penetrate $6500 easily with Kiva
loans at the beginning of year. Then it's 5% from CVS for the rest of the
year.
For the first $6500 spent on Kiva loan, you get 0.5% instead of 1% or 2% you
could earn elsewhere. So you lose $32.5 or $97.5 cashback. If you see $97.5
as annual fee, then this becomes whether you are willing to pay $97.5
annual fee to get unlimited 5% from grocery, gas and most importantly CVS.
My answer is hell yes.
One note is that Amex is pretty good at account review/closure. If you have
a high credit limit, spending 3-4k monthly from CVS won't raise a flag.

25% or less
Even better if your monthly spending has been relatively stable. Say, if you
've been spending 1k a month on certain card. I'd gradually go up to 3-4k in
5-6 months. It will also help if you call Amex first before a large cvs
purchase.
Even if you go through Amex financial review, you will be fine if your w2 is
consistent with income and not having small biz card without small biz tax
return
