[Expired] Bank Amerideals/Chase Offers: Save 10% at Verizon, Max $25 Cashback

View Comments (15)

• Have 3 BofA, 3 Chase cards and no luck

• Not seeing the Verizon offer but on Chase I'm seeing a $5 offer for joining Amazon Prime. I already have Prime and my renewal is due in about two weeks. It's not clear if this offer covers renewals too.

• As of Mar 28, 2020, my Chase offers have dwindled to 4, and half of those expire on Monday. I never get any value out of them so I really don't care, but I wonder if this idea has run its course.

• Does this deal work with Verizon for internet?

  • Yes. I paid my Verizon Fios bill on March 30th and Chase offer is showing as redeemed as of today.

• I usually get these offers but I'm 0/8 on this one.

• Kind of weird since Verizon doesn’t let me use credit cards for autopay unless I want to forgo their autopay discount.

  • It should still work. You need to keep autopay linked to your checking/debit, however, you pay with a CC before the scheduled autopay date. I have been maintaining the autopay discount plus earning 5x on CC. Hope this helps and works for you too!

    • Actually I heard from a Verizon employee you can pay your bill online through their website so long as you have the phone number and zip code. I've been playing my bill with VGCs. It's a little wonky and will deny cards at times, but I haven't had my autopay discount removed:

      • That's interesting. They changed things recently (last few months, confirmed on Howardforums website) and take away your autopay discount if you make a partial payment when they didn't used to. Cost me an extra $40 this month when I did it last month. Fortunately I got CS to refund that but given that the guy said "since it's your first time", I don't want to try it again if it isn't going to 100% work.

      • Yea I’ve been using visa gift cards through the Office Depot and staples deals on those gift cards. I can’t think of any other way of getting much of a return on my Verizon bills.

        • DP: You can buy VZW (not prepaid cell) gift cards in-store using VGCs, and they won't affect your auto-pay discount so long as you leave at least $1 for the debit card to pay. Of course, most Verizon stores are closed at the moment.
          Also, multiple DPs trying different configurations of directly paying with the CC all lost the discount as of last May-June.
          Tracey, Elliott, have you been able to use the VZW website with VGCs? I always get denied and have to place it over the phone, with an $8 fee and $8 credit because it failed online. Their payment system tries to authorize a recurring payment even for a single payment, which the Visa or MC GCs decline.

        • So how do you apply the VZW gift cards to your account once you have purchased them? Just pay on the website? I just got burnt last month losing my autopay discount after making an additional payment on my Chase Freedom card to take advantage of the 5% quarterly savings. I did that after the autopay for the month had already processed. Things changed recently (more recently than last May/June, i think) and Verizon is definitely taking away the autopay discount if you make any additional payment with a credit card. I got it refunded this time but I am hesitant to try something with much less than 100% guarantee of working.

    • That hasn't worked for anyone in a while. Check your statement closely, you should see an additional charge for the autopay discount clawback.

      • You're right. I actually don't see anything related to autopay discount nor clawback. But I totally forgot the discount I'm seeing is actually the military discount. My bad.
