My statement just cycled for my Ink Bold account and I was in for a treat! Over 43K Ultimate Rewards points in one month (although basically all of them was in one week)!
How did I do it?
A few weeks ago I wrote an article about how to make $9 and 3000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points via a gift card promotion they had at OfficeMax. When I run into a good deal, I like to go big so that is exactly what I did in this case! 🙂
By running around to multiple Officemax locations and getting creative by bringing my Dad and nephew into the store (so I had 3 customers and I could get the special deal 3 times), I was able to make 15 transactions over 4 days.
Most of the transactions were for $600 in gift cards for $590.85 and a few were $500 in gift cards for $499.75 (used when the store didn’t have the $200 gift cards in stock). So I ended up spending $8680 for $8800 in gift cards. I then used those gift cards to fund my Bluebird account and then did an online bill pay to pay the card off. Since I used my Chase Ink Bold which gives me 5 Ultimate Rewards Points for every dollar, I scored over 43,000 points and ended up making $120 while doing it!
What could I use 43,000 Ultimate Rewards Points for?
- 4 Round Trip tickets from Miami to Cancun using BA Miles on American.
- 4 Round trip tickets from Miami To Detroit on Southwest.
- 2 tickets to San Jose, Costa Rica using BA Miles on American.
Conclusion
I hope some of you also took advantage of this great deal. If you weren’t ready then start getting the things now that you need so you will be ready for next time. For this great deal, all you needed was an Ink Bold charge card, and a free Bluebird card.
