Our Verdict
Some of these, like Gap, can be purchased on third-party exchanges for substantial discounts, but the convenience of getting a first-hand gift card in the exact amount that you need is certainly worth something as well.
MPX usually carries over the merchant category for credit card bonus purposes, so you should get 3x on CSR for buying Domino’s gift cards, for example.

Should United cardholders use their United credit card to get 25% bonus?
Yes, if you want to double/triple dip and don't have other cards that will net a better bonus. Will need to assess your opportunity cost.
No. United Cardholders get the bonus regardless of which card is used. Used the card that you value your rewards most.
