Our Verdict
They offered the same deal last year. Keep in mind that Indeed.com doesn’t bill until the 1st of the following month charges are incurred, so any charges made in December wouldn’t qualify for this offer. Only really useful if you have a real business that needs to hire new staff/advertise a position.
I had a nightmare using this offer for resume services. Indeed’s charges (the first was a “resume review” for $19 and the second was a “resume re-write” for $89) wouldn’t trigger the statement credit. CS reps gave me at least 5 reasons this happened such as: I didn’t click through the correct link (I used the affiliate link but indeed.com is listed in the terms as well as an option); the $100 had to be made in a single purchase (false).
An investigation was opened through the Amex Offers department last Wednesday, I checked with CS today who gave me this information:
The transactions against SE 5577072226 does NOT qualify because it is for Ad Sales which cannot be purchased at http://indeed.com Per the offer Terms, ” Offer valid online only at http://indeed.com/partner/amexus_q42021 and http://indeed.com. ” As a result, the CM’s transaction is NOT considered eligible to receive the offer award.”
I called the offers department again and was told there was nothing they could do. Obviously this didn’t sit well so I spoke with a supervisor, explained the situation, that I abided by the terms as set forth. He dug a little more and told me that Indeed said a) the purchase wasn’t made through Indeed.com (which is absurd) and b) my purchases were for Indeed Ad Sales. Luckily, he was willing to look at the Indeed purchase confirmations and after doing so, issued a $100 courtesy credit.
I accepted this but feel like Indeed is taking advantage of Amex customers.
I’m in this same exact scenario. Purchase 1 for $19 and purchase 2 for $89. Both via Indeed.com per the terms and conditions. F Amex for playing stupid on this. I need to make time to get a supervisor on the phone and hopefully get the same “courtesy” credit.
Hi Chris,
I’d encourage you to do so. Reach the “Offers Department,” and escalate repeatedly. I ended up sending the rep the confirmations via [email protected] to show that the purchases were legitimate per terms.
I also ended up complaining to Indeed regarding the promotion and the sneaky terms. I mentioned that the $89 “re-write” was certainly not worth $89. They offered a full refund of the $89 but did say the resume would be unavailable after the refund (so save it first!).
Hope this helps.
Do you find the resume review (first or second) worth the trouble? I’d never heard of this. A discount even if not free review could be useful for people like me. Thanks and good luck with your offer.
Very similar methodology with the other credits works here…
can the credit be used for professional resume reviewers service of indeed?
Be the datapoint you want to see
I was the DP you want to see.
Wording to me it says one or more transactions. Brought the 20 & 80 review in separate transactions. Contacted Amex chat and was told to kick rocks, it should have been $100 in one transaction.
Thank you for your sacrifice sir.
Thank you for letting us know. So we have to spend $100 in one single transaction? Do you think even if we did that, they wouldn’t honor it because this is geared more towards employers than employees? Thanks again.
Hi Fay,
I have another comment in moderation regarding this situation. Indeed is being shady with the offer and Amex is trusting them. I did the exact same thing you did. The terms clearly state “one or more purchases” so you’re fine there. I got the run-around with other reasons I didn’t get the statement credit but the fault lies with Indeed.
Call Amex, ask for the Offers Team, and explain the situation. I forwarded both transaction confirmation emails to [email protected]. When I did this the agent offered a $100 courtesy statement credit (after I had previously been told there was nothing that could be done).
whats the best use for this?
Meeting spend requirement
To hire someone who can churn instead of you
this came very useful to me as an employer last year. for those wondering, there’s nothing you can really buy…except the ‘leads’. you set a budget (pay per click) for the most you’re willing to spend and for every application you receive, you get charged (once a week so you dont get a charge every time).
What exactly does $100 get you on Indeed? Indeed sucks IMO
In the job search side, they have the worst search bots. They automated job notification mails send me jobs that have no relation with the job search term I have saved.
Is there anything just exactly $100?
Can I buy some indeed corporate gear with this?
Why is this offered on personal cards at all?
I have this offer, but what can you buy for $100 on Indeed if you’re not an employer? lol
Gift cards.
