The Offer

Targeted, offer sent out via e-mail. Subject line is ‘New extended offer! Get 2,500 bonus points just for spending!’

  • Alliant is offering some Platinum cardholders 2,500 bonus points when they spend $500 or more by October 19th, 2018.

  • Only those members selected to participate in this offer are eligible.
  • Balance transfers, cash advances, convenience checks, statement credit, returns, finance charges, fees, foreign currency conversion charges and Debt Protection charges are not eligible for this promotion.
  • Earn 2,500 bonus Reward Points for spending at least $500 (net purchases less credits, returns and adjustments) on qualifying transactions completed between 09/19/2018 & 10/19/2018.

Our Verdict

This card normally earns 2x points on all purchases. With this offer you earn an additional 2,500 points for $500 spend, so that’s an extra 5x points per $1 spent. Definitely worth doing if you were targeted and don’t need that spend to meet other minimum spend requirements.

  • Today my Oct - Nov statement closed today, received a $20 Bonus, and i spent approx 2K. But didn't see anything targeted come into my email...

  • I received this offer back in June. It hasn't paid out yet, but i guess they have some more time.

    f you qualify, the 2,500 bonus points will be posted to your Alliant Visa Platinum Rewards account within 45 days after the promotion concludes on June 30, 2020.

  • @will May I suggest adding a ballpark of what the points are worth, I mean in general for your blog, I have been frequenting usccguide to look at their chart to get an idea even though I’m not fond of that site or it’s hosting server/country but when I need a reference it’s the fastest to look at. Yes everyone values points differently but you could give a range or state what you think the points are worth to you. IMHO I think it would benefit most people because it would give readers a reference point and gauge if they are getting the maximum benefit or not which will generate discussion for the benefit of all.

    • Most are worth about 1¢ unless it's a flexible point like Chase UR and then it really varies based on how you value the transfer partners

  • @will I just got this offer today. I downgraded my 2.5% card to rewards a few weeks ago.

      • Sorry, u should have given more detail. From the email:

        You’re already spending money, so why not earn a little something while you do it?
        When you spend $500 with your Alliant Visa Platinum Rewards Card by May 15, 2019, you’ll get 2,500 points on Alliant1, in addition to your 2 rewards points2 for every $1 you spend.
        No opt-in necessary; just pay using your card and you’re eligible!

      • This is the offer I got today:
        Earn a $25 statement credit for spending at least $500 (net purchases less credits, returns and adjustments) on qualifying transactions completed between 4/15/19 & 5/15/19. Limit of one $25 statement credit. If you qualify, the $25 statement credit will be posted to your Alliant Visa Platinum credit card account within 45 days after the promotion concludes on May 15, 2019.
