Like everyone, I'm always looking for a way to maximize my AGR rewards, but I'm beginning to think that there might be better alternatives for earning cheap(er) travel.
Here's what I do currently: I use the AGR portal to purchase whatever I can - paper towels through Jet.com, clothing through Land's End or Dockers, household supplies (lightbulbs, etc) through Target or Overstock. The point rewards on these purchases vary anywhere from 2 points (Jet.com) to as much as 14 for inkjet cartridges. Of course, using my AGR MasterCard earns another point for every buck I spend.
But...
I'm also a member of Amazon Prime which gives me a lot of benefits as well - lots of good TV, free 2-day shipping, etc. I have the Amazon Prime Visa card which, if I use it at Amazon, earns a whopping 5% for ALL prime purchases.
So, I'm wondering if it would be more advantageous to use the Amazon Visa card for more purchases, and just cash it in when I want to purchase travel. Considering an AGR point is worth, what, 2.8¢, should I make the switch?
I'm so confused... :wacko:
