The Offer
Privacy.com is one of many options to get virtual cards numbers for your online shopping which enhances security and helps save from being overcharged. Our review can be found here.
- Many people are getting an email offer from Privacy.com to get 5% back on three months worth of purchases during May, June, and July after spending $500 during this month of April.
Our Verdict
An interesting thing is that the language is to ‘boost your cashback by 5%’ which seems to imply that the 5% is in addition to the standard 1%, meaning 6% total, but I’m not convinced that’s really true.
They obviously have no idea what they’re getting themselves into when offering 5% back for all online purchases for 3 months. My guess is they’ll change the terms, add a limit, or just freeze up accounts after small amounts of spend. A reader notes that there is a limit of $1k/day and $2k/month (see General) on Privacy, so essentially this is 5% back on $6k for the ‘cost’ of spending $500 this month with little or no rewards. Pretty good deal.
Personally, I got a different offer from Privacy.com for 2% back for 12 months after spending $500 this month.
