Hat tip to reader Jason
I got a similar offer via email recently on April 14. Subject “Get $5 in cash rewards today!”
It’s been over a week since I completed the transaction and no payout. Seems like a manual chat is in order. I see other DPs of others having issues it seems.
I chatted, and 2 days later got $5 marketing credit, as well as $25 marketing credit for March round-ups. ANY SIGHTING of possible APRIL round-ups offer?
3/19 $20 grocery, no credit as of 3/27; applied for personal loan offer- no GC in 10 days!
3/30 “Last chance to get $5” Email reminder from Sofi I guess my cleared transaction $20.xx was not good for them

any one received the $5 ?
No yet… Bought $20 Target egc on Friday 3/19
Ended up doing chat support and they put in a ticket requesting the credit. They wanted a screenshot of the email in my case to prove I got the offer. Seems like they have mixed up a public first time use of the card with a lapsed user offer. Easiest way to get to chat support seems to be going to transaction and clicking ‘report an issue,’ and getting past the bot. Elapsed time about 10 minutes in total and may have credit in a couple of days.
And just now they sent a ‘Last chance to get $5, Jason!’ email. I made my purchase in an actual store. These little ones seem to give me the most trouble, same with Amazon.
