Getting Amex MR points with a Visa

MrCreditInternational · ‎02-27-2020

I just wanted to share this info with anyone who might not know this.

If you have a Rakuten account then you can choose getting MR points instead of cash back. Pairing that with the Rakuten Visa card can give you the ability to earn MR points on a Visa.

I know other cards can give you better than the 1% on the Rakuten visa, but I think it's nice if you wanna focus on MR points.

Current open cards:
Schwab Amex Platinum (NPSL); Amex Gold (NPSL); HH Aspire ($31,700); Amex BBP ($27,000); HSBC Premier WMC ($21,500); USB Altitude Reserve ($20,000); USB Altitude Reserve ($10,000); WF Bilt MC ($9,400); Chase Freedom ($7,300), BofA Premium Rewards ($5,000); Apple Card ($4,750); BofA Alaska Visa ($4,200); USB Altitude Go ($1,000)

Started collecting cards: Oct/2018

I don't qualify yet for the Rakuten Visa but it's definitely in my plans and I'm glad you confirmed this works. I've earned 17,000 MR over the last year from Rakuten purchases and another 4,000 from sign-up and referral, so it's more the 3% on Rakuten itself that interests me.
