No direct link to offer, sent out via e-mail. ‘Subject line is ‘Kick the summer off with this special offer from PenFed!’
- PenFed is offering some credit card customers a bonus of $25 or $50 when they spend $1,000 by June 15th, 2020
The Fine Print
- In order to receive the $25 credit to your statement, you must spend at least $1000 or more during the promotion period using your PenFed Visa Card ending in xxx.
- The statement credit will be applied to your account within 4 weeks after the end of the promotion period.

- Your account must remain open, have available credit, and be current (no minimum payment past due) to qualify.

Our Verdict
Not the biggest bonuses, but it still works out to be an additional 2.5%/5% so worth doing if you don’t need the spend to help meet minimum spend requirements.
Hat tip to readers DPS & Cole S
I got the credit too! Easy $50
Same here.
When did you make the purchase?
got credit
A bit offtopic, but how do you file a dispute about a transaction on the PenFed Pathfinder? I can’t find anywhere on the web site? Do I need to call to file a dispute?
I got the $25 credit for $1K spend offer and banged it out on the no fee Visa and MC GC offers from Staples. Card is also linked to Payce so earned additional $5 cashback credits.
your credit posted already?
I have gotten these offers in prior years, but none this year. 🙁
when promotional period starts? June 1?
Anyway to quickly spend $1,000 with PayPal or funding bank account? Any suggestions?
VGC
where do you buy VGCs? I know that people buy GCs in real life, but I’m overseas at the moment.. it would be a option if I could buy VGCs online?
You can buy VGC anywhere, in person or online. I don’t know if any of them deliver international. I personally stick with in person to not draw suspicion of MS, prevent wait time, and less risk.
oh I read “VGC” as virtual gift card
but I guess you mean Visa gift cards
Correct, but they actually both serve the same purpose for MS, though a virtual gift card would be must more difficult to liquidate.
do you have any advice for best web sites to buy virtual Visa / Mastercards from?
I don’t have any experience buying the virtual ones. I only received them as gifts or compensation and they are a real PITA since the ones I got have quick expiration dates, inactivity fees, and don’t work in-person including mobile payment.
I’m confused.. I got the e-mail for $50… but when I click on the link to “learn more” it’s a page about digital wallets.. Apple Pay, etc. Which I’ve never used before. So we need to spend $1,000 with the PenFed card through one of these digital wallets to qualify or?
I was targeted for the $50! Sweet! Last month I was targeted for a REALLY sweet deal that was use my card 5 times and earn $25. Back-to-back months for me, that never happens. Just wish they’d launch the Pathfinders CC already.
My offer was spend $500, receive $25. I have found that PenFed usually targets these offers with different amounts depending on your spending habits.
I haven’t used the card much in the last year.
Ive noticed this as well, yet for some reason I always get the lowest offer even though I haven’t used the card this year, and I used to use it pretty often before. I am going to use it this time though since I have a $1,200 purchase that doesn’t fit into any category for my other cards, so this is still better than nothing!
Same here. $25 for $500.
