So, I am fairly new to this points thing.
Trying to understand if it makes sense paying for an item e.g. a Bill of $1000 using Prepaid Visa card which I have purchased using my AMEX card (I will incur an additional cost of $35 on top - surcharge [2.9%] and processing payment [5.95]) and will earn 2 points for every dollar.
So cost of card is: $1005.95
Surcharge: 2.9%
Surcharge Amount: $29.17
Total: $1035.12
Effectively I have paid $35.12 extra for a $1000 card and have earned 2070 points.
Is that worth it?
How do you calculate and workout the Maths?
