Our Verdict
American Express have been offering a lot of different AmEx offers on cell phones and cable internet recently (e.g here & here), looks like they really want to get as many recurring charges on cards as possible. One thing to keep in mind with these offers is that you can usually prepay your cell phone bill to lock in the discount. I’d alsor ecommend reading about these 14 Things to Know about Amex Offers Deals.
Hat tip to Mommy Points & DDG
Yeah any DPs for AT&T Uverse TV/internet bill on the cell phone offer would be great. I might try it myself.
Anybody tried to use it for cable/FIOS bill? Last time it worked for me but I’m not sure if they code it differently this time.
Any word on this? I am interested too!
I am currently in a monthly device payment plan with Verizon. As of now there is $500 balance on the device. IF I used the enrolled Amex card to pay off the device, am I eligible to get the $30 back?
Thanks.
That should work, but it will depend on how it codes.
If I pay twice, and each time I pay $150. Will I get full $30 back ?($15 + $15) Or does it only work for one payment?
0/4. Dang. But, I was targeted for the 10% off of your cable bill offer on 2 of my cards….which I won’t use since we don’t have a cable/internet bill.
Received on my Amex Hilton (no AF)
I’ve been using my WF card to pay my cell bill for the insurance/protection. What I am unclear on with WF’s terms is how regularly I have to pay my bill with their card to earn this protection?
Spouse also received offer on Amex EveryDay Card. What I found interesting is she received 10% cash back up to $30, not MR points offer, although this is a MR earning card.
To expand on my initial question: if we prepaid our Verizon bill for $600 ($300 for each targeted card), but left WF as the autobill option, do you think WF would still cover any cell phone claims during the time that the account is prepaid?
Why the next day my mobile bill posts on my other CC??
This wouldn’t work on Project Fi right? Guess I’ll just leave it to my Discover card
Don’t think so, anybody know for sure?
Also wonder if it works for Project Fi?
Max of $30 or 3000 MR points. I wonder if I prepaid $300 I’d get the full $30 or just $10 since it was one payment?
Should get the full $30 since it’s 10% back.
Got the points offer on my everyday preferred and 10% on my platinum card.
