Hat tip to DDG
I recently got a Citi Costco card. I’m assuming that this cards will never receive these offers?
I also received the offer and tried tapping the card but nothing happens. Wonder if there’s a malfunction in a certain batch of cards.
I tried this at Target, but the contactless method does not work. Anyone have specific instructions or videos to show how to use this contactless method with the card?
I did 3 back to back transactions at target last weekend using self checkout. Just tap at the terminal – self checkout prompt asks for method of payment and has tap as an option. Easy $10
Hi Bht. Did you get an email with the offer before you tried this?
Yes I had couple of emails since November on this(they sent a new contactless card last month – even though my card was not expiring). I got another email today with the same offer(same card)
I received this offer a couple weeks ago and already tried 2 or 3 times at CVS self-service kiosk and it doesn’t accept the contactless payment lol.
CVS counter payment accepts Tap payment and it would show on the receipt as RF payment method.
I am doing the much better CapOne targeted offer of 3 wireless payments in Nov / Dec / Jan, for 3x $10 statement credit each month. Only need to be $1.01 and above per transaction but I often do more than that, just ordinary shopping.
CVS and Walgreens tap payments show the payment method on the receipts and both count, but Aldi’s does not show the form of payment on the receipt, and it does not seem to count because I should have received the credit last week but not. Even received a reminder email from CapOne to tell me to finish the Dec promo, when I have finished should the Aldi payment counts. So I did an extra CVS purchase paid with tap on.
it worked for me, but only when i tapped on the top right corner of Target’s payment terminal, where it displays the contactless symbol. in contrast, the citi costco card works when you tap anywhere on the payment terminal screen at Costco.
Got it. Did it. $10 credit posted right away.
You must be lucky.
I am still waiting for my $20 statement credit from Citi for buying $120+ using Paypal on eBay with linked Citi credit card.
I made the purchases in early September.
Bunch of liars.
Don’t trust them.
