Bad news in the miles and points world this week. The manufactured spend technique known as Amazon Payments will no longer be available for P2P (Person-to-Person) payments effective October 13th. So you'll have one more opportunity to send and receive $1,000 in October.
For the past couple of years, I've been leveraging Amazon Payments to charge $2,000 (half on my card, half on Emily's) each month on various credit cards. This has helped us to meet minimum spend requirements with ease.
It makes sense that Amazon is shifting away from this "product" given their renewed focus on providing payment services to actual merchants. This is certainly a bummer but there are still plenty of other ways to manufacture spend and earn free (or very low cost) miles and points.
