The one problem is, few merchants actually allow you to buy them using credit cards these days, and each chain's policy can depend from store location to store location.when they even have Vanilla Reloads in stock. You essentially only pay the processing fee on the card ($3.95) for every $500 spent and if you can buy them at a location that gives you 2x-5x points per dollar (like certain office supply stores or gas station) you are "buying" miles very cheaply. There are many types of reloadable cards- this is the one you want to load into your Bluebird account.

I've heard lots of stories of people buying the wrong types of cards and tying up money they don't have, so if you are unclear on how this works, I recommend re-reading through our series on prepaids/reloads and checking out other people's successes/failures in this Flyertalk forum on manufactured spending. I'd recommend entering the Vanilla world slowly and doing your own tests and establishing your own comfort level before diving in. Note: most credit card companies allow these purchases to count as such and not cash advances, but some like Citi may treat it as a cash advance. Using Vanilla Reloads in combination with reloadable cards such as the Amex Bluebird is one of the most lucrative way to rack up points and miles using points-earning credit cards without having to actually spend that much money because you can buy the cards, load them and then essentially turn them into a cash equivalent. Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available.
