Our Verdict
I don’t use the USAA portal, but nice deal for those who do.
Hat tip to GCGalore
Raise is still an option. Just bought a $50 Chipotle GC. Raise worked for me last time USAA did $20 of $100 a few months ago. Just got the (quarterly?) check in the mail for the last offer (can’t believe they switched to this archaic method, I guess they are counting on USPS losing them to save some money?).
I made a purchase yesterday, got the email that my order has tracked, and then looked at the fine print today and it says gift cards are excluded. So I guess I’ll see what happens.
And I am still getting emails that I have a “mystery bonus” and I see it when I log in.
Last update – got the “you’ve earned bonus awards”, so I guess all is good.
