Please bear with me and have patience with my severe OCD when it comes to my travel budgeting....
I have a vacation account that is used strictly for vacation expenses. For our upcoming trip, we decided to arrive the night before our DVC stay so I booked a night at Pop Century and paid the one-night deposit ($160ish) on my (non-Disney) credit card. That bill has since been paid with money from the vacation account. Since then, we have booked our flights and since we arrive very late (almost midnight), we've decided just to stay at the Hyatt at the airport instead. I am going to cancel the Pop Century reservation which is going to result in a credit back to that credit card. Well, since I need to buy a few more gift cards anyways, I was thinking that I would use the "credit" to buy $150 worth of Disney gift cards and charge them to that credit card.
So, now that the BB bonuses seem to be back and working again, I was thinking that my best option will be to buy a $100 card at BestBuy and then use the RMN deal through Target to get a $50 card and get the 3% back. Since there is no added bonus to getting $150 at BB vs the $100 and BB is only 2%, I figure that it would be better to do it this way, right? If my math is correct
(which would be a miracle
), it should amount to about 8.3% in rebates including the 1% on the credit card.
Can anyone think of a better deal?
