May and June 2017 Manfactured Spending Summary

By
Well, May and June of 2017 have been one hell of a MSing spree for me. I had ordered 3 cards and had a huge minimum spending to hit within 3 months.

Platinum - $5,000
Ink Business Preferred - $5,000
Premier Rewards Gold - $2,000

I'm still not done, but what I've done so far to hit them was to use Plastiq to knock off around $3,500, loaded a new PNC savings account with $2,000, and bought AGCs worth $3,000 on a monthly basis for the rest. I included a ton of organic spending on it, of course.

Next in line would be to apply for the CSP, CSR, and Everyday Preferred for a total of $8,200 in required minimum spending. This will be in July as I am already 5/24, but my AMEX cards haven't reported on my credit reports yet.

The balance showed up in my account one day later - super fast and reliable I must say. Edit (04/10/17): I bought $1,000 worth of gold at a spot price of $40.38, but with a buy price of $41.54 for a total of 24.571 GAU. A 0.5 GAU first-time deposit bonus was included in the 24.571 GAU. The total fees came out to be around 2.9%. This is the same whether you use Visa or Mastercard. Edit (04/02/17): Goldmoney now charges an extra 2% when funding with credit cards. With the 0.5% transaction fee and the bid-ask spr...
