Earlier last year, AA Citicards ran a promotion <\/a>where you could earn 3x miles in select categories including drugstores. They are running a similar promotion in 2014 but for different categories.<\/p>\n

The email I received prompted me to register with one click. I would get 3x miles on purchases at electronic & computer stores, clothing, toy, and department stores through 3\/31\/13.<\/p>\n

The offer starts 2 business days after enrollment and the bonus is capped at 2,500 miles so the max purchases that can be made with this promotion is $1,250. (2x bonus mi * $1,250 = 2,500 bonus)<\/p>\n

I could max out this promotion at Best Buy which I would see being categorized as an electronic store. Best Buy sells $200 Visa gift cards for $5.95 fee which you can set a pin for. This allows them to be used as a debit card.<\/p>\n

\"Best<\/a>

Best Buy Visa Gift Cards look like this<\/p><\/div>\n

This Visa gift card can then be used to transfer to your BlueBird card (see post by Travel with Grant on how to do this<\/a>). Your funds in your BlueBird card can then be used to pay off your credit card.<\/p>\n

The fee is very high for $200 gift card, however, purchases of Visa gift cards count towards earning My Best Buy Reward Points. 250 points = $5 so this mostly offsets the costs. These purchases also count towards Elite Status on My Best Buy Rewards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So watch your email for this promotion!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
