The Offer
- Make a purchase using Visa Checkout, pay with your Chase Sapphire or Chase Sapphire Preferred card, and receive a $15 statement credit.
You can use Visa Checkout at the following stores:
- Staples
- Newegg
- Orbitz
- Pizza Hut
- Gap
- Neiman Marcus
- Williams-Sonoma
- Gymboree
- Zulily
- Fandango
- Virgin America
- Under Armour
The Fine Print
- Expires 9/30/15
- Offer valid both for existing Visa Checkout accounts and new accounts
- Limit one $15 statement credit per customer or card account. (I think that means that if you have two separate Sapphire accounts you can get two credits.) You can’t get the $15 credit for each merchant that allows Visa Checkout; only one $15 credit allowed. You also apparently can’t get a second credit for an authorized-user account.
- Allow 1 to 2 billing cycles for $15 credit to reflect on your credit card statement.
- Your card account must remain open and not be in default to receive the statement credit. Statement credit cannot be processed if your card number expires or changes while statement credit is pending.
Our Verdict
$15 off at any of these merchants is nice, but free $15 is nicer. Let’s see how to cash out this $15 offer:
- Purchase $.49 game codes from Newegg and pay with Visa Checkout for a $14.51 profit. There’s no mention of a minimum purchase amount requirement and I assume this will work.
- Purchase a $200 Visa gift card from staples.com for $206.95 and get back $15. Or purchase a $25 Visa gift card for $29.95 and get back $15.
- Purchase third-party gift cards or e-gift cards from staples.com or from newegg.com and trigger the $15 credit that way. You can find gift cards to popular merchants such as eBay, Target, Home Depot, Lowes, lots of restaurants, and much more.
I’m going the $.49 game code route since that’s the easiest.
