The Fine Print

Cellular 10% Offer Terms

  • Valid for cell phone bill payments made directly with T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T Wireless, US Cellular and Verizon online and via mobile app
  • Other services, if bundled with wireless bill payment, may be eligible
  • Payments for prepaid cell phone purchases, plans or services do not qualify
  • Payments made via phone, mail, or at retail locations do not qualify
  • Payments for brands other than those listed do not qualify

Cable & Satellite 10% Offer Terms

  • Offer valid for services provided in NY, NJ, IL, FL, TX, WA, CA and MA only
  • Valid for bill payments for cable and satellite television services made directly with the provider; payments can be made directly with the provider online, via mobile app, by phone, or by mail
  • Payments for hardware and installation services, if included on the monthly service bill, are included
  • Payments made at service centers do not qualify
  • Excludes payments for satellite radio services

Our Verdict

Given that the Chase INK card earns 5x rewards on cell and cable purchases, the 10% off isn’t huge. Still, 10% + Amex points is better than 5x INK, and it also leaves the INK bandwidth for other purchases.

If you got the 10% Amex offer on a Blue Cash card which already qualifies for 10% off with the recent Blue Cash signup bonus, you’d be able to get a whopping 20% off your cellular. Most likely, however, they were smart enough not to target those cardholders with this offer.

I just signed up for both of these offers, which were available under my offers. My cable bill is $117 a month and I’ve already paid May’s so that only leaves June before it expires. I do not have cell service through any of the providers listed.

So if I’m understanding correctly I should pay $300 on my cable bill next month, which would cover June, and prepay July and part of August. If I only get 10%, I’ll get my $30 credit, but if it stacks, I’ll get a $60 credit.

Is this how I should proceed? Thanks.

I added both offers on the same card (Cell + Cable). I don’t have a cell phone bill, but paid my “cable” bill (internet only with TimeWarner). However, I only got 10% credit and not 20% 🙁

I have the offer on several cards, and used 2 of them already. Since I only have two statements left, and at least 4 more offers, I was considering using one or two for credit cards via Verizon messaging. We have 5 lines, so I thought I would buy a $100 ebay card on three of them, and then make a mid-month payment of $300 using an offer, that way I would get 10+% off these ebay cards. Has anyone tried this?

My father had the 10% off cellular offer in 2 cards. The 2 tab trick didn’t work. Once I added the offer in one card, the other card said I already had the offer.

Is this dead for anyone else?!

Hey Chuck,

Where in your Amex panel can you add this deal to your cards. As I don’t see this offer in my Amex Cash card.

Thanks in advance,

Ryan

You said “targeted offers”, does it mean email received in your inbox or logging online to your amex account and check for offers?

Does anybody know if the cable/satellite offer is good for Internet also? I only have internet through Optimum but no cable.

Since it’s 10% of your online payment back as a statement credit. So it’s not Amex points as you mentioned under Our Verdict.
