Our Verdict
Grocery stores is always a popular category. I’m not sure if this is an additional 2% or just flat 2% though. Flat 2% is pretty boring as lots of cards earn that or more on all purchases anyway.
Hat tip to C J
This U.S. Bank spending offer returns today with change in the category. This time it’s for Gas Station purchases.
Email states, “Spend $200 or more at Gas Stations and earn a 2% statement credit per dollar spent, up to $25. That’s on top of the rewards you already earn with your card. Enroll by September 30, 2022. Make your purchases now through October 31, 2022.”
It also includes in-store purchases at the gas stations; fine print states, “This offer is valid for in-store transactions in the Gas Station category and will qualify based on how merchants classify the transaction.”
I don’t like these US Bank offers as there seems to be no easy way to track them.
I interpreted this as incremental as well, so on Altitude Go, it would be 2% for groceries + additional 2%
Expect the 2 or 3 statement cycles before seeing the credit.
I am guessing that the Q4 categories for Chase or Discover won’t be groceries, so getting 4% isn’t bad.
I got this offer in a physical mailer, not email for the Cash+ card.
Received this on Elan issued Amex card which I guess is division of US Bank
As Jags wrote, my past experience is that these promotions are incremental and come as a statement credit after the end of the promotion period.
The email subject line is “ Earn up to $50 on groceries and pet supplies”.
I have this on my Altitude Reserve. Based on past promos the 2% is incremental and comes as a statement credit not as additional rewards. If your grocery store takes mobile wallet it’s 3x AR points and a 2% statement credit.
