One drawback to Cap 1 new card rewards

[OmarGB9]

Don't believe they do; or at least, I don't think I've heard of anyone here successfully having a card overnighted.

This will be my "backup" if I get close to the end of 90 days without meeting the spending requirement - https://www.plastiq.com

Yeah, I'll eat 2.5% which will only be about $20.00 but I'll gain 1-2 free flights.

I was wondering if making a paypal payment to someone would count.

I have two paypal accounts and if sending a payment to myself using Capital One Venture

would count in geting the 40,000 bonus miles by spending 3,000.00 in purchases in 90 days?

...you are aware that that's a violation of both the PayPal and Capital One account terms, yes?

Something that we're all supposed to read. Like the 50+ pages that are signed when a person gets a mortgage. Most of us just skim though it, sign and onto the next page.

How about gift cards? I read about this on a blog to save money.  It talked about buying gift cards from sites that sell them at a discount. That discount is usually about 10-12% then use them to make purchases. You can buy them with a credit card so you still get the rewards. That's a legit way to eat up purchase requirements. Some Visa gift cards might cost $5.95.. Cheaper than other ways. I don't think there is any fee for store gift cards.
