Our Verdict
Seems like an easy $10/$15 if you were targeted. Seems like the offer went out on Chase branded cards (e.g Freedom/Sapphire). Some people have also received a similar e-mail except that it doesn’t offer any bonus at all, so keep that in mind.
Hat tip to readers @tchaud24 & Douglas
DP: Paid my car insurance bill, *manually*, for $150 on July 5, and got my $15 statement credit on July 14
DP: I received the $10 statement credit e-mail on July 3rd if I paid a bill in the following categories: phone service, car insurance, internet, and cable television on my Chase Sapphire. Payment was made on July 4th in the amount of $1 for USAA car insurance, transaction posted on July 5th, and $10 statement credit posted on July 8th.:) Free Money!
$15 credit posted today!
Did you have to set it up as autopay, or were you able to just use your card for a one time charge?
I manually paid my Car Insurance Bill, got the credit
I’m trying to figure out if I could just prepay a bill to get the full amount or if it has to be autopay. Does anyone know for sure?
No DP’s for sure, and unfortunately it’s showing up to 8 weeks for credit to post, so there may not be any.
Reading the fine print, though, there’s nothing that requires automatic payment to make it a qualifying purchase.
FYI: doesn’t have to be autopay, can be manually done. Got my credit with a manually paid bill
I got the offer but my question is “Does this also apply to the Chase Freedom Unlimited”?
For those asking whether or not Chase can determine whether a payment is made as part of an automated payment run or not, the answer is yes they can.
Whether they choose to differentiate in this instance or not is a very different question.
With the $10 offer it seems any amount will trigger it based on the email unless I’m missing something. Any reason to think differently?
Yup that should work
Got the email on my Freedom Card but it reads “Find the hidden rewards in your monthly bills”
Thanks, added this.
I got the email but with no mention of any promotion whatsoever
Got this on freedom. Nothing on unlimited till now
