C2, not anything but a lot of sites.

PayPal blocks some sites. For example, PPK blocked the IRS processing sites after about 2 months. People were doing excessively large payments to hit MSR and processing sites recognized PPK as debit.

This is a great idea i did. Just regular visa gift cards from target. This can be a problem if youre not disciplined though with money and end up buying stuff you don’t need.

I would like to know how to just spend $4000 in three months.

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
