US Bank Cash+ Question

Anonymous — Sun, 04 Oct 2015 22:05:54 GMT

For people who have the US Bank Cash+ and have cell phone selected as their category, I have two questions:

1) Does the 5% work on wireless providers' websites (i.e. att.com?)

2) Has anyone used this card for their U-verse bill and gotten the 5%?

I can only anser #1. The answer, from my own experience, is YES. I pay our T-Mobile bill via either their website, or using their App in my phone. Either method gives the 5% cash back. We also receive the 5% cash back on our home phone bill payments (CenturyLink). Those payments are made online at CenturyLink's website.

Congrats on scoring the Cash+!!

Yes, I've set it up to do the autopayment through the AT&T website, and it gets 5% back.

My landline Frontier bill also gets 5% on the Cash+ CellPhone category.

Why hadn't I thought to put my Ooma on my Cash + ?

I can vouch for 5% back on uverse. All I have on my cash+ is my uverse and Verizon bill so it is simple to calculate if I get the full 5%.

OP - same here on U-verse - 5% cashback.

That is so sweet!!! My family has three different U-verse bills to pay each month (one at my apartment, one at my parents' house, and one at my parents' condo), plus we have AT&T for cell phone service, so I think that means the Cell Phone category is going to be pretty much a no-brainer selection for one of the 5% cashback categories for my Cash+. Thank you so much guys!

I've wondered that but haven't gone through the trouble to change it.

You could try it lol. You're missing out on a possible 5% back.

Worst case scenario it gets the 1% back.

FWIW, a while back I had Verizon One-Bill, combining wireless and wireline/internet on one bill. That did NOT work for the 5%. So while Verizon Wireless certainly gets 5% off, I don't think Verizon Fios or Verizon wireline does.

US Bank has this on their site which is typical for reward categories with any creditor:

Transactions qualify for 5% or 2% cash back based on how merchants classify the transaction.

I think paying for Internet/Cable services is generally NOT going to get you the 5%...it's a cell phone category, meant for wireless phone services. You may get lucky in some circumstances but I typically would not count on it.

Digging deeper on the Cash+ category site, they are pretty expicit about the category counting for cell phone bills paid directly to the provider. So again, may be lucky but generally you should expect only cell phone bills to count.

Ah, I was thinking phone, not cell phone. THAT's why I didn't do Ooma or Charter. Yep.
