Konstantine Anikeev signed up for an American Express which offered a cash back offer on purchases made in certain grocery stores. He used this credit card to buy pre-paid visa cards which he would then use to buy money orders which he would deposit back into his bank account to pay off the credit card he used to make the purchase in the first place.
The trick was that the fees from the pre-paid cards and the money orders ended up totalling around 4% of the transaction value, 1% less than he made in cash back rewards from his Amex, allowing him to profit off the difference, this quickly added up as he churned through over 30 million dollars in gift cards.
The best part is that credit card rewards are not considered income in the eyes of the IRS so Konstantineâs profits were all tax free!
Unfortunately, if you are planning on replicating this infinite money machine the credit card companies are one step ahead of you and pre-paid cards no longer count towards cash back offers.

Thereâs more to this story. He was taken to court by the irs over this and ultimately won the case but the judge ruled that the way he made the cash back was deemed as taxable so he had to pay the taxes on the cash back

I bet his credit score was incredible being able to pay off all he put on that cardâŚ

He beat credit cards by using their system against them. They got mad because instead of their users losing money, they did

He's gansta until the card company released a software patch

Gotta give him âcredit â,just realizing this

Money wasn't actually created out of thin air. He was transfering the wealth of the credit card company to himself.

Thatâs called âmanufactured spendingâ and it usually gets your card stopped in a very short amount of time. In the first or second time doing it youâd get a call from your credit card company.

And he would have got away with it if not for those rascally IRS Agents. Lol

The 5%cash back for American Express is up to 6k spent, then drops to 1% . Maybe he did this before cap of 6k was put in place

So he is why there is a limit on cashback for most cards? This man had a full time job lol

Reminds me of the time someone did something similar with them dollar coins they were selling on tv. The guy bought the coins dollar for dollar with his credit card and went to the bank to deposit the coins back into his account. Made profit from the credit card rewards until the caught on and stop it.
