Actually, I have maxed out my Q1 5% spend. I usually get coffee at Starbucks anyways, and I like going to the movies, so that wasn't hard to spend $100 on that. For the rest, I just bought gas for friends and family and they paid me back. Some debit cards at a local gas station is what got me to the cap though. 


Name and location of gas station!  OK, maybe more than 1,000 miles away, I would give it a miss.

If you want to drive to Indiana, be my guest haha. Anyways, it was a Turkey Hill in Indianapolis, IN. I bought an energy drink and a Visa card and my Freedom was accepted no questions asked.

OK, Mapquest shows 16 hours and about $100 in fuel.  (Hey, I can fill up when I get to the gas station).   So an additional $12 for the 2 $500 cards, ~ $110 for 5000 UR!

Indianapolis, here I come!

I don't see any problem for me hitting the max for the gas station quarters..While I do have a company vehicle for work and fuel is paid for.. My wife drives my ecalade taking the kids to and from school, shopping and other errands.. we run about 150 a week for fuel in it .. the other quarters i probably won't make it.. for won't make q2 with just restaurants and kohls.. we don't have a kohls up here.. and we don't eat out that much..
