When I was approved, I asked them when would I be hit with the annual fee? I was told that it could take anywhere from 2 to 5 months?!!
Though I do hope you don't get the fee! ;)

What? Buy them the way you would any UA gift card. It goes against your spend but then you get it back. if you're worried spend $3,201 on the card to get the 100k points. No biggie.

And yeah..you do have a point about $500 still being a good deal! :nod:
