    • Not sure what is POID code.

      I got a similar offer except for supermarkets.
      It came in an email.
      Nothing to activate.
      5% with max of $5 which means $100.
      mediocre

  • Nothing on my BCE, but I've been milking the 10+3% on the SimplyCash Business at Exxon/Mobil so I'm not upset.

  • The point is 5% on $167, or $8.33 in Rewards Dollars. Not bad.

    I never put spend on a card unless I'm getting the absolute best return, and having added the Amex Gold and Citi Premier to my wallet this year, I'm left with an all-but-orphaned Rewards Dollars balance (I only use the BCE for the odd Amex Offer that doesn't also show up on the Gold). Any little bit helps, so I'll take it.

    • And my wife was targeted for an additional 2% (4% total) on department stores. Might get something for the house on Black Friday if there's an in-store-only deal...

  • I got the following offer on my cash magnet card:
    Earn 3.5% cash back, up to an additional $5 cash back
    at US Supermarkets with your Cash Magnet Card
    now through 12/31/19.
    That's an additional 2% back on top of the 1.5% you
    already earn at US Supermarkets.

  • On the BCE card, it is 4 percent on top of the regular 2 percent. Combine this with the $5 off $30 at 76/ConocoPhillips stations offer, you get a 23 percent discount on gas. The is also a BPapp offer. No complaints here.

  • The fine print for my BCP 5% offer says “ You will receive an additional reward of 2% cash back (for a total of 5% cash back) up to an additional $5 cash back on gasoline at gas stations located in the U.S. between November 10, 2019 and December 31, 2019.”.

    So it is good for $250 in gas purchases. Better than nothing, but barely.

  • I got this:
    Earn 4% cash back, up to an additional $5 cash back at US gas stations with your Blue Cash Everyday Card now through 12/31/19
