12/17/18: Readers say that bonus points are now posting. Some people were worried since they didn’t see the bonus points posting. Offer is still good through December.
Update 12/11/18: We’ve confirmed with Chase directly (as other blogs have confirmed too) that this offer is not targeted and available to all cardholders who spend with either Apple Pay or Google Pay from December 3rd – December 31st. List of eligible cards:
- Chase Sapphire Reserve
- Chase Freedom Unlimited
- Chase Sapphire Preferred
- Chase Sapphire
- Chase Amazon Prime
- Chase Amazon Rewards
The Offer
Check your emails for an offer from Chase on various Chase cards, including Sapphire Reserve, Freedom Unlimited, and probably others. Subject line should be ‘Limited-time offer! Get an extra point with every purchase’.
- Get an extra 1x Ultimate Rewards point on all purchase made with Apple Pay
- Get an extra 1x Ultimate Rewards point on all purchase made with Google Pay
The Fine Print
- Valid December 3rd – December 31st
- Doesn’t appear to be any limit on earnings
- No registration requirement is mentioned
Our Verdict
On Freedom Unlimited you’ll end up with 2.5x everywhere while on Sapphire Reserve you’ll end up with 2x everywhere or 4x on travel and dining purchases. Most stores accept mobile payments so this offer can be quite useful, especially for the busy shopping season. Many websites accept Google Pay and Apple Pay as well, presumably that earns the extra 1x too.
Far as we know now, this is a targeted offer, and you have to use the mobile wallet you were targeted for, e.g. if you got the Google Pay offer, you won’t get bonus points for Apple Pay. I also haven’t yet seen anyone get the offer on other mobile wallets, just Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Thanks to readers John and Gabriel for sending this in.
