The Offer
Penfed sent out a spending bonus to their cardholders. There are two versions:
- Get $50 after spending $500 between 9/1/24 and 11/30/24.
- Spend $300 each month in September, October and November and earn a $25 statement credit per month. Here’s the best part: if you earn all three bonuses, you’ll
receive a $25 bonus for a total bonus of $100.
Our Verdict
Decent spend bonuses. Seems like everyone got one offer or another (it’s possible they are more targeted). Thanks to all those who sent this in.
I was targeted for the $50 promo version, bonus never automatically posted. Contacted CS and they manually credited after a few days
I did the $300 monthly Sep., Oct. & Nov. spend.
All 3 monthly $25 credits posted the same day on November statement close, as separate credits.
The extra $25 posted on my December statement close.
I never contacted them, I just waited.
l just received my 3rd. so hopefullt the 4th will be done before the 30th. the first 2 took far more than 30 days to post
4th one posted on 12/31
I just received a $25 credit, but I don’t know if it’s the 4th credit for this promo, or for a different promo (using the card with digital wallet, which I did 2 days ago).
I received another $25 dated 12/22, so either one would be the 4th credit for this promo.
Same date here, I’m pretty sure it was not there when I checked on 12/24. I’m going to guess the digital wallet bonus has the number “1224” in description and the 4th $25 of $100 spending bonus has “2111” just like the other 3.
My $50 bonus just posted.
Do you mean the final $50 for a total of $100? I just checked my account and I’m still stuck on only 1 $25 credit so far. ☹
There was a different version for $50 so its probably that promo (instead of the 4x $25 promo)
Seems like these are all over the place, here is mine.
10/1 Credit for Sep
No further credits for Oct/Nov yet
I guess I’ll give it until Dec 1st, then contact CS. That’s 30 days after this thing has “ended” I guess.
i received 2 as well in november days apart after completing nov spend so i dont know which months i received the credit for and which one is missing. plus didnt receive teh $25 for completeing all 3. messages to customer service was useless. first they told me accorind to the t&c none of the 3 months would be due for credit until 30 days after nov 30th. after numerous back and forths with them 2 credits did show but asking them which 2 months it was for was useless. . so will wait until dec 30th to email them again.
Has anyone received the 4th credit yet?
Ah I meant Dec 30th, not 1st in my above post
No 4th credit yet. Received 3 so far.
Update for new credit:
10/1 Credit for Sep $25
*new* 12/17 another $25 credit for either Oct or Nov
Still missing $50, still planning on contacting Dec 30th if it doesn’t show.
Finally got credits for each month. Sep and Nov credits posted 3 days after spend and then I just got a 3rd credit which I assume is for Oct. I never contacted them about it. Hopefully the final credit for doing every month posts without issue.
In my opinion, that could be the fourth 25 credit, so the Oct credit is still missing. But who knows?
Finally got one $25 credit on 21 Nov, although I can’t tell for which month it is. I spent over $300 in each of Sep, Oct, and Nov. Pathfinder visa.
Still haven’t received the remaining 3 $25 credits!
An additional $25 just posted. Waiting for 2 more.
By “just” do you mean a few days ago? If so, you are on the exact payment schedule that I’m on.
Dec. 22nd; didn’t notice it until the 26th.
The final 2 $25 credits have posted for me now, allegedly on 12/26, although they definitely were not showing before today.
I just checked my account and the same happened with mine. I don’t know if I’m happier that I finally received the entire $100 in credits or that it happened without me having to call in at all. 😀
I had sent an inquiry to support on Dec 3, which was acknowledged by return email, but that was the only communication I got from them.
I got Sept & Nov credit but missing Oct and the final one for doing all 3
9/17 $303 purchase
9/19 $25 promo credit
10/17 $303 same purchase
** No credit
11/17 $303 same purchase
11/19 $25 promo credit
Used the Contact Us page from my online account to send them an email a week ago about missing Oct credit plus final credit for doing all 3 — they replied within an hour that they put in a request to have it reviewed within 2-3 days.
On Thurs I had another $25 “promo 2111” credit post with 12/25 date — today I had a $25 “promo 1024” credit post with 12/26 date.
I also had the offer for $25 bonus with $75 mobile pay purchase — made a $85 Apple Pay purchase using Best Buy app and that $25 “promo 1224” credit posted quickly when the BB purchase posted
Just got my third $25 bonus, 3 days after the transaction.
