The paypal statement credit posted 8/29
The amazon bonus showed up as a 07/31/2017 BONUS OFFER
For those who are not seeing both, check both statement credits and rewards.
I received the $25 statement credit this morning after 4 SMs. After the first the bank said I had to wait 10-12 weeks. I pointed out the 12 weeks were up. Then they said they had given me the $25 in bonus rewards for the Amazon promotion. I pointed out that this was the Paypal promotion. Yesterday they told me they would have to send my case to the President's office. I wrote back saying it was pretty sad that they couldn't just see that I had met the terms of the offer. Then this morning...the $25 credit.
I got the offer for both Amazon & Paypal and did both. I got a 25 dollar reward bonus today, so I'm not really sure which one it is for. However, I only got one, so I SM'd them to see if the other is coming.
I realize this is a little late, but I am in the same boat. I assume the rewards are from the Amazon promo because the Paypal thing said it would be a statement credit.
Were you able to get it resolved?
Any1 has any idea which merchant is accepting paypal and selling GCs with the highest rate? Really appreciate it
How can you buy amazon gift cards using this offer? I can't buy them from Amazon itself for it.
Was targeted on my no AF Club Carlson. Buying Amazon gift cards.
How to buy Amazon GCs with PayPal?
You can use gyft.com to purchase amazon gift cards with paypal
I was targeted, but strongly dislike using Paypal. However, I'd be OK picking up 3 x $25 Amazon cards for the incentive amount...
So, I added Cash+ to Paypal and tried to buy an Amazon card from Gyft.com, which immediately shut me down, although I did get my "card not present" alert from US bank (to be refunded within 7-10 days). Anybody know where I can make such a legitimate transaction without all the hassle? I have already requested my Gyft account be deleted. Don't need such headaches.
I was hoping for a hat 🎩 tip as well.
Sorry Humberto, where'd you send it to me? Will add
I send it to the general contact-US form from the website.
I consider Amazon GC as cash equivalent and will just buy 3x$25 amazon gift cards. In the past, I had quite some trouble with us bank not tracking those offers, but seems little to lose.
So the US bank cash+ now offers 5% ground transportation starting next month, which includes Uber. I wonder if we use Paypal option to purchase Uber gift card, whether that's going to be coded as 5% or not. P.S. I was targeted!
