Our Verdict
In previous fee-free offers, the limit-1 per transaction wasn’t actually enforced. I’d guess that with this $5-off offer it will be enforced, we’ll see. (Update: I’ve seen conflicting data points on whether the system is enforcing a limit of one $5 discount per transaction when more than one card is purchased.) Deal is also slight worse than the fee-free deal since the fee on a $200 card is $6.95.
As always, this deal works better with an INK Cash/Plus card or with Amex SimplyCash. Alternatively, there’s a Bank Amerideals offer some have. There’s also an Amex Offer on business cards with 10% off for the daring. Probably some more stacks too, but I’m drawing a blank at the moment.
