so I just tried applying for the Daily Advantage (I already have the Travel Advantage) and it gave me the following message:

Welcome Back
It looks like you already have an account. If you don’t have your card, need a replacement or need help with locating your account, contact Customer Service for help. Here’s their number: 1-855-585-8852 (TDD/TTY: 1-888-819-1918).

FYI I did a little research and a few sites mentioned that you don’t have to be a AAA member. They said the app has an optional field for AAA member number.

PSA: The top of the Rewards page for my AAA Daily Advantage Card now has the notice:
“We’re making some updates to your reward terms. You can review your updated Rewards Terms & Conditions on this page starting Dec. 10, 2023.”

Might want to hold off on applying for these cards until then

Wow, I’m just discovering these cards—not sure why I missed them earlier on the best cards for groceries and gas posts. What have people’s experiences been like with them? How is their customer service?

Amanda I was transitioned to Comenity from BofA. I use it for gas and airfares, and once last year for an AAA purchase. The main advantage is that there is no longer a minimum redemption, which I believe was $25 at BofA. I haven’t needed to call customer service, so can’t comment.

The one caveat – for me at least on the West Coast – is that the payment deadline is 6pm ET, so I have to be careful to pay up the day before.

With regard to the perennial question of whether Travel includes hotels, that’s a dicey option for all cards. Best bet is NOT to book through expedia and the like.

Thanks that’s all helpful to hear.

That’s so petty of them to have the payment deadline be 6 pm Eastern, rather than being midnight in one’s own time zone or, I guess, a specific time zone, thanks for the heads up.

I usually try to find a list of the credit card codes that qualify, or otherwise get customer service to delineate the categories for me. Will keep in mind to do that if I get the travel card.

Are the cost of hotels included in the Travel category of the Travel Advantage Card?

when do you get the ‘cash back’? and did I see that there is no purchase protection, aka extended warranties?

kathy Each month, and there’s no minimum requirement for redemption.

Anybody else getting billed now from Comenty for paid B of A statements last year? Found out there’s no dispute department phone number and some stalling tactics when calling customer service

Does anyone know what the heck counts as “travel” purchase for the Travel Advantage card??? I can’t find this information anywhere.

5% is just “gas and electric-vehicle charging purchases”, not all “travel”

> “3% back in Cash Back […] on grocery store, restaurant, travel, and AAA purchases. Grocery store, restaurant and travel purchases are as identified by Merchant Classification Codes”

> “Cash Back Merchant Classification Codes: Merchants who accept Visa are assigned a merchant classification code (“MCC”), which is determined by the merchant or its processor in accordance with Visa procedures based on the products and/or services they primarily sell. Comenity Capital Bank and AAA do not control the assignment of these codes and are not responsible for incorrectly coded purchases. Even though a merchant or some of the items it sells may appear to fit within a certain Cash Back category, the merchant may not have a code in that category.”

Soooo, it depends entirely on how the merchant is classified.

Anyone know how to register the card online if you don’t have a AAA membership number? Activated over the phone.
