Our Verdict
These deals come around frequently, last time it was offered it was only a 20% earning bonus (e.g an extra 0.4 points per dollar spent) rather than the full extra point per dollar spent.
Hat tip to reader Andrew D
This is back.
Received via Email, subject “Enroll today to earn Bonus Points”
“Earn 5 total Points per $1 spent on purchases (up to 2,000 Bonus Points), after you spend $700* between March 1 and April 30, 2021. Be sure to enroll by March 31, 2021.”
“Terms and Conditions:
*To be eligible for this offer that runs from March 1 through April 30, 2021 (promotion period), you need to enroll by March 31, 2021. Once you spend a net of $700 during the promotion period, additional net purchases (net purchases are purchases minus credits and returns) will be awarded 3 Bonus Points per dollar spent (up to 2,000 Bonus Points) in addition to the 2 Points you already earn. The Bonus Points will be credited to your Account 2-3 billing cycles after the end of the promotion period. Your Account must remain open, have available credit and be current (no minimum payment past due) to qualify. This offer may not apply if the type of rewards that you earn changes within 12 weeks before March 1, 2021, or changes before the additional Bonus Points are applied. This offer is accurate as of February 1, 2021. If you have any questions, call Cardmember Service at 888-551-5144.”
Quick math:
5 points per dollar, up to 2000 points = $400
I need to spend $700 @ 2 points to get the offer = $1100 total
I will receive 3400 points for the $1100
Works out to ~3.1% cash back if I spend exactly $1100
Not terrible, not great
I think my spend requirement was something like $1500.
I almost never get an email regarding this. I only find out from this website or i get physical mail with the offer
I never receive theses offers. Is it because I take the points as cash?
No. I always redeem as cash to my Fidelity account and I still get the offers.
I just got the email offer today, but it seems like a terrible offer.
I have to spend the random amount of $1,850 before the extra point kicks in.
I’d have to spend $3,850 in two months, just to get an extra $20? No thanks.
I didn’t see jack in my email. Man I have had bad luck with targeted emails lately.
The last round (June – July) was for a full point. At least mine was.
I never get target for these. How do you get targeted is there a setting somewhere? Crazy
Do you actively use the card? I think that’s a requirement to get targeted?
I have this credit card.
This offer reminds me of the original Discover card from my youth where the bonus is on top of $X.
Silly.
Can’t wait [sarcasm] to see what it is this time.
Unless it is the holiday season or May when my insurance (auto+car+umbrella) or when I have a major car repair, I don’t hit the target.
