This took forever to post, but it did.
8/4 Email received
8/24 4 online purchases made ($100 VGC deal from gift card mall for $90 and 3 small Amazon reloads to satisfy 4 transactions)
12/4 $10 credit posted.
I looked over the fine print and it said 2-3 months after promotion ends. End date was 9/30. This credit will show up on my third statement after that, so they did technically follow their terms but took their sweet time.
Made 4 Amazon reloads on 8/18 totaling $75 and I still have not received my credit yet. I emailed and they said it could take up to 3 billing cycles after the end of the promotion, 9/30. CS confirmed that I was in fact enrolled in the promotion. If I don't get it in another month, it looks like I will be contacting them again after that.
8/5 - received e-mail offer and enrolled
9/28 - made 4 online purchases totaling $75+ (Amazon e-GC and GC balance reload)
12/1 - $10 statement credit received
I called to check if my purchases had triggered this and whether I should expect the credit. CS + Supervisor had some difficulty looking up the offer and ended up not seeing anything on record of me having enrolled in the offer, despite having enrolled and making a few purchases that added up to maybe ~$90 within the required timeframe. Was offered 5,000 points as an apology, which I accepted, since that's even better.
Might be good to call in and check, rather than waiting 2-3 billing cycles.
DP: Looks like I was in fact enrolled and got some cherry on top with the previously mentioned apology points.
8/5 - Email received about offer

USBank is cheap but kudos to them for at least trying different categories than the bigger banks
if you set your notfication for any online transactions you will know when something qualifies.
How will u know it qualfies? I have never seen anything confirming that but it would
e great if I could
Did not get this offer.
My offer #1: Earn 20% more cash back (up to $20) on purchases *after* you spend $350. Meh!
My offer #2: 3% statement credit for gas up to $20, 3% statement credit for sporting goods stores up to $20, and 5% statement credit for RV rentals up to $50. Meh!
A couple months back I had an offer for $10 back on $100 in pet store orders.
The offer ended at the end of June, and I am suppose to wait 2-3 statement cycles for the credit.
I hope I get it.
I prefer American Express and Chase for these type of deals because the credits are usually same statement cycle.
2-3 statement cycles is ridiculous
I did the pet store offer. Spend in mid-May. Credited last week
is $75 for each of the four purchases?
It appears to be $75 total across all 4 (so $20+$20+$20+$15 would qualify)
No. "totaling" is the key word.
Got it. Also got an offer on The Radisson Hotel card.
The thing is can I remember to use this card? The answer is no.
I bought food via online delivery app and used American Express.
Offers need to be practical and easy not complicated or hassle.
The requirement is 4 qualified purchases in grocery, food delivery or retailers online total to $75 or more. It did not mention bill pay or utilities. I guest one can buy @ amazon 4 times such as $20, 20, 20, 15.
But it does online foe groceries and food deliveries. Not sure if Amazon would count.
Other than groceries & food service, online retails count too....it is in the ad (the shopping bag next to the spoon & fork).
