<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1222820, member: 66&quot;]Not only is it old news, but I thought that several months back the mint changed the way they reported these orders to the credit card companies as cash advances and not purchases.&nbsp; This means those peoples &quot;free miles&quot; aren&#039;t free because cash advances are charged interest&nbsp; beginning the day of the advance.&nbsp; And have you looked to see what kind of rates you get charged for cash advances?&nbsp; If I bought $1000 worth and paid it off in full when my bill came due it would cost me $66.67 in interest and fees to get 1000 points/miles.&nbsp; If I did that 25 times it would cost me $1667 in interest and fees, and would be good for one nights stay in a Hyatt hotel.&nbsp; Paying for the room would be cheaper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
