Our Verdict
Offer is probably targeted, though it may still be going out. People are seeing this offer on the Sapphire and Freedom card lines, haven’t heard about any other cards. I don’t think it’s possible to do this deal on an iPhone, and they may not send it to people who they believe have iPhones.
Really nice that they’re offering 1,500 points instead of $15 as that can result in added value. If anyone has a screenshot, I’ll add it to the post (chuck@doctorofcredit).
Hat tip to Redtalun and Champen on r/churning
Just a heads up – the 1500UR doesn’t post on an individual line like normal transactions. It will be added as a bonus line to your 3rd qualifying purchase, once it posts to your account.
Anyone able to get google pay to work? i have tried 3 different places, after tapping, i get a “payment not accepted.” My phone works fine as Samsung Pay works after i tried google pay first.
Same error – I’ve tried at a couple of major retailers and Google Pay would not work but Samsung Pay did. Had NFC turned on as required.
I’ve had issues with it at certain places, but not others. Not sure why.
Does anyone know if I can add my spouse’s card to my Google Pay account? He was targeted, but doesn’t have NFC on his phone.
You can switch to his Google account from your phone’s Google Pay app, then switch back to your own.
Thanks. I ended up just adding his card to my wallet. We’ll see…
Never use GP before. Received offer from Chase and want to stack it with GPs first time user promo of use 5x on separate days and get $10 credit. My phone doesnt have NFC so I can only use online. Just checked Amazon and its a no go. Anyone know the cheapest way to do this?
Never added a Chase card to Google Pay but did not get the offer. Do you have the Chase Pay app?
You can get the SpotHero app and reserve a parking spot at the cheapest garage. $1 in my area.
What zip are you using? I’m looking for a 3 $1 garages 🙂
Thanks,
To those who received the email, did you use Google Pay at all during Q1? And if so, did you remove your payment info once the quarter ended? I still have my info in there after using it for CF during Q1 bonus period. Wondering if that could be why I didn’t get the offer. I have the CF and CSP in my Google Wallet.
Same here. I didn’t remove it until last month and was not targeted.
Never got Google pay. Is this something used in store or just online?
It’s both.
You can pay in store with a supported Android phone or pay online at some stores.
I received the same offer for the chase freedom (the 5% category type)
Is registration required?
For google pay, you need to login with a google account.
Doesn’t sound like you need to register for this promotion. So long as you were targeted it should work automatically.
Any idea if there is like a 5 minute delay between purchases needed with Google Pay ala Samsung pay?
No, Google Pay doesn’t have a rewards program..
Got it for CSP
