Hey guys, some questions as well. For the platinum rewards card, the threshold is $50? Minimum denomination is $50 Visa GC, starting at 5,880 points.  There's no like $25 gift card or anything lesser?  No.  Do they have gift cards like chipotle, ihop, dennys, or gas cards? They have a variety of restaurant gift cards, but not the ones you mentioned.  No gas gift cards. 

And also let's say I'm a trucker and I spend like $5K a month which is $1062.5 in gift card for the month. What's the highest denomination do they have?  $500 Visa GC.  Thanks!

If you spend $5K a month, you get $250 in gift cards at 5%   Where are you getting $1062.50?

Just for the month, 5000 x 5x = 25000 x 0.0425 = $1062.5, it's not a full 5% CB remember...

It's also not 4.25 cents per point, the redemption factor is 0.85 cents per point.   The $212.50 figure is correct.
