The Offer
Some people are seeing an excellent Bank Amerideals offer on their Bank of America credit & debit cards.
- Get $100 or $75 or $50 back when making two separate transactions with AT&T on wireless products or services of at least $15 each by 4/5/2017
This deal comes up every few months; this is a new round being sent out the past week or so. Typically, there are three versions of the offer:
- Get $100 credit after making two $15 purchases
- Get $75 credit after making two $15 purchases
- Get $50 credit after making two $15 purchases
The Fine Print
- Offer expires 2/19/17 – I think this means you have to save the offer on your BofA account by 2/19 and use it by 4/5
- Offer valid one time only (you can use it on any card in your online account, but once you use it on one card it can’t be used on another card in the login)
- Valid in-store or online at at&t.com or over the phone
- Cash back is earned within 30 days after making the second transaction
Our Verdict
This deal is outstanding even if you no interest in anything at an AT&T store. Simply buy an accessory (charger, etc.) for $15 at an AT&T store or online at att.com, repeat a second time, and get back the bonus. Net profit will be $70/$45/$20, plus some free accessories.
Tips:
- If you’re doing this in-store, make sure to make the purchases at a corporate store, not an Authorized Retailer.
- If you’re doing this online, try buying a single item that costs $15 or more since AT&T sometimes splits up smaller items into separate charges.
- It might be worth spacing out the two transactions on different days.
- Someone mentions the idea of buying a $25 refill card from an AT&T store which would work for prepaid plans.(Not sure if it’s possible to buy a gift card for a post-paid plan too.)
- Or buy an iTunes gift card.
- A reader confirms that making $15 payments to your AT&T cellular bill or Uverse internet bill counts to trigger the credit.
- Don’t forget to go through a portal if ordering online. Topcashback is currently the best at 10%
boa page staes the offer expire 9-30-17 but
“”Must make two separate transactions with AT&T on wireless products or services of at least $15.00 on the card associated with this offer by 11/14/2017”
does anyone know from past real life experience…do I have til 11-14-17 to make the 2nd purchase or should I make the 2nd purcahse before 9-30-17 to qualify for the $75 bonus?
thx
Went to a local AT&T store. Was approached by a salesman and politely said “I’d just like to look around.” Noted the $19 chargers as the best option on the wall. No gift cards out on the shelves. Asked if they had any gift cards for sale. Floor manager said they did sell AT&T gift cards. I asked if they sold any others, like ITunes. He said yes, and they are all kept in the back. Requested an ITunes card, and they got me one. Minimum $25 charge. So, with my $50 offer, I should be able to score $50 ITunes credit for no cost other than two trips to the store. Will update if credit posts or I run into any issues. Did not ask what other cards they had available.
Hi John,
Thanks for the data point! I’m going to try to do the same. Do you know if it triggered the BoA bonus for you?
Thanks AM for the reminder.
This did trigger the $50 bonus.
Day 1: first $25 card. BoA instantly shows cash back offer as triggered/processing.
Day 2: second $25 card purchased.
Day 4 or 5: both transactions post and settle. Cash back offer disappears from account.
2-4 weeks later: offer shows as earned to be paid out at end of next month.
Next month, 20thish: cash back posts.
So it’ll take a while for their system to catch up on the user side, but you’ll get paid in 35-50 days.
Thanks a lot for the DP! I went to 2 different stores in the San Francisco Bay Area this morning and they told me they only have ATT GC. Will call some other ones in the evening.
I am wondering which BOA credit card gets this “$100/$75/$50 Back for Spending $30 at AT&T” offer?
I have never seen offer on my card, I only $50 back for adding new line on AT&T.
FYI – I am having BankAmericard Cash Rewards World MasterCard Card with BOA.
Please don’t keep calling about the offer. ATT and direct Tv are the same company. They haven’t approved the purchases yet but they are all in cue and are being sent over Should take another few weeks or so and THEN it will show as pending in your BOA deals account. They have to manually approve transactions on ATT/Direct TV side. This is good because the revised direct tv offer that will be approved is for $100. PLEASE don’t call them or we risk getting less or nothing.
Sorry, but this is an insane comment. From AT&T’s terms and conditions:
“Bank Rewards are issued according to the terms and conditions governing your relationship with your bank or financial institution. Bank Rewards are not issued by AT&T, and AT&T is not responsible for the failure of your bank or financial institution to issue Bank Rewards to you for participating in this offer. Please contact your bank’s Customer Service Center should you have any questions about Bank Rewards.”
Says nothing of manual approvals, and encourages you to call in.
From BofA’s terms and conditions:
“Your $75 cash back is earned within 30 days after making your second transaction.”
This also implies that BofA is responsible for tracking transactions. Either BofA is making promises they can’t keep, which should be enforced through the CFPB, or AT&T is falsely disclaiming liability, which should be enforced through the courts or the FTC.
Insane? Maybe but mine posted yesterday as previously promised. Never hit pending which is strange but i’ll take it.
I had this deal and activated it. Then made the 2 separate purchases (around the 17th) and the deal showed as processing. I log in today and there is no sign of it anywhere. It’s as if they just deleted it.I see no sign of any earnings or even that it is expired. Could this be a bust??
Same thing happened to me. I made two purchases for $15 over 48 hours apart. I check this past Saturday and saw the cash back as pending, just checked today and the offer is gone. It’s no where to be found (not in Earned, Expired, etc). On my cash back BofA is giving me the offer to attach the Xfinity Home Bundle $100 deal to my the last AT&T purchase, which makes 0 sense. Calling tomorrow.
Same here. Made first purchase, showed as pending. Checked today after both posted – missing completely. Will reply to this comment if it posts.
I bought two samsung wireless chargers 24hrs apart, my second wireless charger was backordered so i cancelled it and ended up buying a small $14 battery pack which came out to be $15.77 with tax. I know the deal says you have to make 2 purchases of $15 on the card but it doesnt specify if its $15 before tax. Hoping the deal works, on my Bank Of America app, the deal shows as ” your deal is processing” but never got any emails like some of you have gotten.
I completed the second of two purchases for the AT&T offer. I no longer see the offer in my account, in either available or redeemed. Is this normal? I’ve never used a BoA offer so I don’t know if this means it’s in in the process of being marked as redeemed.
It should show up in a few days under “earned”. I made my purchases on the last day before it expired. It sat in “expired” for s week, then moved to “earned”.
I also saw the offer on my account with the green checkmark so I made two payments to an AT&T U-Verse bill with one of my qualifying Bank of America credit cards, and now I too no longer see the offer on my account anywhere. Hulu, Xfinity, 800flowers and halfpricebooks are still there but not AT&T. I have looked under “Available” “Earned” and “Expired” and there is no pending cash back. I completed the second transaction on January 20.
Kind of related… Anyone have the Xfinity security offer? I assume the security charges go on your normal bill with cable and internet… Could you activate the offer and just pay $30+ to your normal bill?? I don’t have Comcast/Xfinity so, I can’t try.

I have this offer and Comcast so I’ll give it a try. I’ll report back here. Thanks for the idea Btw.
Yeah, let us know! I don’t have Comcast, but my buddy does!
Any update?
Unfortunately no. What’s odd is the offer was removed from available offers after I made a payment. It led me to believe that, like the AT&T offer, it would eventually work itself into my pending cash back. Nothing has happened since then and it appears to either have fallen into a black hole or maybe it was reviewed and confirmed not to have qualified, who knows really.
Same thing happened to me with the offer before. I paid my internet bill and it disappeared. I was wondering if it was maybe a glitch because I have the offer again on BOA and was considering giving it a shot again.
Haha they’re stringing you along! It’s temping though, even if you’re losing out on 5x UR (if you have INK). I’ll update if anything happens, hopefully you do the same.
Got the $75 offer last time, unfortunately not targeted this time. On the last one, I spent $20.14 in store for a lightning cable on 11/29, did the same on 12/2, received the $75 back on 1/11.
AT&T have Samsung wireless charger on sale for $15 +1.24 tax. Two free chargers plus free money. I do not understand why they continue to sent this deal to me, just a loss for them…
