That makes so much sense ,,,The advantage lies with purchasing them using a BMO MC or Amex if you are looking for AMs. The CC company doesn't know what was purchased at the store, only that there WAS a purchase at the store. Metro itself will give you nothing, gift cards do not count towards purchases made there for their own AM program (unless it comes as a special offer).
As for the special offer from MC, that runs until August 31st and gives you more AMs for the purchase. In my case, I have the Elite MC and I would normally get 1 AM for every $12 spent. Shopping at Metro would normally get me 3 AMs for every $12 spent. With this new offer, I will now get 5 AMs for every $12 spent.
It all depends on the MC you have. A plain, simple MC which would get you 1 AM for every $25 spend now gets you 5 AMs for every $25 spend. You just have to know what MC you have and what your spend limit is per AM to know what you will get. This offer is only for those stores mentioned in the offer, Shell and Metro being the two I would find handy.
I went on the 1st and picked up $1000 in Disney GCs, I don't like to have to much in GCs because of being unsure of the exchange rate but our trip is close enough that I'm not as worried as I would be and if MC is going. What I would get as a standard offer on that purchase would be 249 AMs (3 for every $12) . What I will get under this offer is 416 AMs (5 for every $12).
Thank You for the detailed explanation,, I appreciate it.
