Hat tip to MtM
Gonna cancel this card, swear I never get any of these good offers even after 5+ years of having it
My mileage does indeed vary… nothing :(.
I spoke too soon, got it now :).
Except… I’m only getting 10X.
Too bad I forgot to check last time if all 3 (gas/electric/water) coded correctly… I got a bunch of points, so at least one must have.
PS Fix the title please, gas/groceries/restaurants are not utilities 🙂
anybody know if Verizon phone bill codes up under the Utility criteria? I did a test and it came up as “Restaurants-TELEPHONE SERVICE”

Just for clarification, I received the offer for 15x on “Utilities”, but that is is not for “Gas, Groceries, and Restaurants”, but rather it is for “Utilities are classified as merchants that provide electricity, gas (natural or propane), home heating oil, water system supply services, collection and disposal of refuse, or the delivery of cable or satellite television or radio programming on a subscription or fee basis.”
I received a different offer for 10x bonus on select categories including (Gas, Groceries, and Restaurants). This is on top of another offer for 10,000 bonus points on $2,000 spend. I max out the select categories bonus every month and getting between 15-29% bonus (depending on how many fuel points I can use) by purchasing Amazon and other gift cards at Kroger. The offers on the card just keep on coming.
Just got an offer for $75 back on $2000 in general spend from 8/19 to 9/17. Assuming it will stack with the current category offers I got for gas/grocery/dining and utilities like all the previous ones I’ve gotten.
E-mail Subject: “Name, your monthly utilities payments can earn you rewards!”
I had an offer for 10% back, $400 min spend, $50 maximum reward. I charged $500 on the 10th and already received my $50 bonus for August.
Got the 10% offer on $400-$500 spend ($50 max rewards). Fortunately I’m on the level pay plan for electric and next month is my Month #12 and we definitely owe a few hundred after heavy use this year at home so I don’t even have to prepay to hit the $400 for next month.
I got a 10x, and was notified about two weeks ago, $400 min spend though, which, depending on how your utilities code up might be vexing. A lot of things we think of as utilities are really Telecom category now.
Just pre pay your water bill, gas bill, and electric bill.
