Our Verdict
Card normally earns 2% cash back, this would make it 3% cash back. Surprised this has no cap, fantastic offer.

@will @chucksithe, I just got a Fidelity offer today by email for 2% statement credit, up to $50 (max $25 in dining/delivery category and max $25 in streaming services/movie theaters category), Nov 1 thru Dec 31. Presumably in addition to the 2 points per dollar the card already earns, although the terms don't spell it out.
Paid on 3/01/22.
Same. $1250 in streaming seems unrealistic but 4-5% on dining seems like a good deal.
At the 3% even tax payments would make sense. Make an estimated tax payment for January 15, 2022 by the end of the year and claim it the next year. It would come out to a 1% gain or 3% APY if you filed in March and received your refund by the end of that month. This also would be an opportunity to buy more I Bonds with your tax refund, up to $5,000.
Used to get these all the time with low thresholds. Nothing for me this time after "spending" 5 figures at Stockpile last time.
Nothing for me, sigh. I have received these offers in the past and kind of bummed I didn't this time.
This must be from Elan Financial Services. Similar offer came for Elan's Max Cash Preferred Card with a local credit union: Earn up to 20% more Cash Back (up to $20) after you make $200 in purchases.* November 1-December 31, 2021
$1800 for me, I usually spend a few hundred a month with a larger bill between $1k and $2k every 3 months or so.
I never get these :(
Sigh. They set my threshold at $7,300.
Mine is after $4800 spend. I regularly put 2-3k a month on the card.
Where on my account can I view this offer?
BofA also has a new targeted offer now: additional 2% on up to $3000 spend, ending Dec. 31.
