Does the 3% credit card processing fee ($300 on $10k) justify the miles you will gain? How much is it to just "buy" the same amount of miles?

Inquiring minds want to know. I use a 2% cashback on everything card for ALL my personal expenses (groceries, gas, utility bills, cell phone bill, food, car expenses, etc), and a different business card (also 2% cashback on every single item) for all my business stuff. Then I just get checks mailed to me about once a month for the rewards. The miles game always seemed like a lot of work to track everything, etc.

Sole Proprietor? LLC or Corp? If you are a structured org (llc,Corp) and you have an invoice for said items then you should be ok.

*Credit card kiting* refers to the use of one or more credit cards <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card> to obtain cash and purchasing power they do not have, or pay credit card <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card> balances with the proceeds of other cards. Unlike check kiting <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_kiting>, which is illegal under nearly all circumstances, laws against credit card kiting are not completely prohibitive of the practice, thereby allowing it to be done to some degree. It is up to the banks to detect the practice and when necessary, stop it.

In order for prosecution to occur in a credit card kiting scheme, a bank must prove intent to deceive.^[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card_kiting#cite_note-1> Eq seq reference infers paying credit card minimum balances with credit card <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card> proceeds is de facto <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_facto> evidence of deceit.

It all will depend on your CC Processor.

    I didn't think about the miles thing. I just didn't think they
    would care as they are still getting paid and you'll be out about
    3% of the charge. The biggest charge I've run through my own cars
    was about $300. I know square used to hold funds over $1000 for
    some period...like 7 days or so? Maybe that is too long, but I
    seem to remember something like that.

        From what came up a while ago you can do that no problem after
        contacting the merchant but IPPay doesn't allow those shenanigans.

            I've run my own card on my own account before a couple of
            times for testing and for paying myself for something as
            well. I'm not sure they really care, but I haven't read
            the AUP in like 4 years.

                Not sure if that violates any kind of AUP. Hate to get
                her merchant account shut down.  It is a woman owned
                business with her owning more than half.  I don’t
                technically work there.  I am not on the payroll.
                How risky is this?
