<prompt> Human: So I had an idea today fo how to get reward points on my credit card for miles, cash back, ect. What if I bought a Visa pre-paid gift card say 500 on my credit card, and then used the money on that Visa gift card to pay my credit card bill? Would I get 500 reward points? lets say I get 1 point per dollar. Also, would this plan also not apply for cash back? Comments? Suggestions?  <response>: This is not new, it is called manufactured spend. It works, but youll pay a 7 fee for the gift card. There are easier ways...rchurning.
