Pay Yourself with the Credit Card 

By far the best way to meet the minimum spending limit is to pay yourself with your credit card and then pay the card back. Here’s how it works:

> You can make the bill the entire amount of the minimum spending required or whatever you may need to hit the mark. Make sure to use a different email address instead of the one tied to your current account.

> Use your credit card to pay for the bill. After paying it, the money will go to your bank account, minus a 3% credit card transaction fee. Use the money from the bank account to pay for your credit card at the end of the month. By using this simple hack, you will pay just 3% of your minimum spending
