So I am looking to take a trip later this year but didnt want to book the thing on my venture card. So question being would I be able to purchase a airline gift card with my venture card for X amout then redeem the points to "erase" the purchase amout for the full point value? I am assuming this is a "travel related purcase" so it should be?
Thanks in advance.
Not sure if the gift card would work or not. Probably depends how it's coded.
One way others have gotten those Venture points to credit is by buying a fully refundable plane ticket, letting it post, applying the "miles," and later getting a refund on the ticket. You get the full value of your "miles" and they don't take any of it back on the refund.
Venture allows repeat redemptions.
Suppose you have 10k points. Buy some travel stuff (e.g. an Uber ride) for $10. Then get on your desktop and erase the same purchase 10 times.
Rinse and repeat.
