Our Verdict
No email for me, targeted apparently. There’s no minimum mentioned for how much the charge needs to be. Some people’s offers stipulate a minimum $10 purchase gets the credit. The ‘recurring’ part isn’t clear – my guess is a single charge will trigger it at these merchants which usually have recurring charges, even if you don’t actually end up making the charge recurring.
Lots of easy options here, see list above; hopefully you got this offer. Added this to our list of Best Credit Card For Streaming Services.
Hat tip to reader Cole
From my experience, the bonus didn’t post, so I had to call in. I did 3 single payments and they didn’t give me the bonus.
Received an email for the $5 offer. Made 3 transactions. No statement credit ever posted
The way I’m reading this, we need to make 5 different payments to 5 different retailers to get the max $25 back (i.e. can’t pay my gas bill 5 times).
2 cards with them. i got nothing
I got the $5 for a total of $25 on the premium rewards visa. I don’t trust them bc I never got statement credit for groceries up to $50. Also offered through email. Canceling card next month when my AF post.
With you on this one. Wife and I each applied for the premium rewards card a few months back. Both received a pop up in our account for $50 grocery credit. I made two purchases with Safeway on the same day (both were delivery), both were identical $53 purchases, yet I only received the $50 on my account and NOT on hers. There’s literally no explanation other than their system glitches out. I really don’t know what else it can be. Debating on if its even worth having her call in to request that credit.
How do you opt in for targeted email offers? I’ve been w/ them for a long time, but have never received any communications so I’m wondering if I’ve opted out of deals/offers? Thank you.
I got the $10 offer today for B of A cash rewards.
I got $5 up to $25 back…so 5 payments. It says says the payment needs to be at least $5 to get the $5 cashback.
got 5 $ for cash reward card
I got the $5 offer. Annual fee kicks in next month so I’m not sure if this is all a plot to get me to keep the card.
