The Offer
No direct link, check for email subject: Well deserved: <your name>, you’re welcome to earn an extra $5 Cash Back
- Chase is sending out a targeted email offer to get a bonus 500 Ultimate Rewards points when you replace your card with a contactless card and then use the Tap & Go three times between March 1 – May 31, 2022. Each of the purchases needs to be at least $1.75.
The Fine Print
- You’ll earn an additional 500 bonus points, which can be redeemed for $5 cash back for 3 contactless purchases from 03/01/2022 through 05/31/2022 using your product during checkout. Each contactless purchase must be a minimum of $1.75. Purchases are when you, or an authorized user, use a card to make purchases of products and services, minus returns or refunds. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks after the qualifying purchase(s) post(s) to your account for bonus points to post to your credit card account. To qualify, your account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. If you change your credit card product during the promotional period you will forfeit this offer. This offer is non-transferable. We may terminate this offer at any time without notice.
Our Verdict
I’ve been using the card at the grocery store for 5x and was finding it annoying that it didn’t have the contactless option, so this is good news. You need to first request the contactless card with the link in the email and then use it three times for the 500/$5 bonus. Hopefully we don’t land up getting a 1099 for this.
I think it’s 500/$5 total, but it’s not entirely clear; it might be 500 x 3 = 1,500 total bonus points.
