I just got an email for increased rewards through June 30th on my Amazon Rewards VS:

Thanks for posting. I got it too. It's an "opt in" for activation deal and mine will be easily maxed on travel or fuel.

Good luck to everyone!

Another Chase rotator! OK, just once, but the same $1500 cap as many other true rotators. But this will be useful for me, unlike the Freedom X Q2

These targeted offers can be found here if card is eligible for them

https://www.chase.com/mybonus

Four cards later, I have nothing. Chase forgot about Dre 😢

When I saw the offer, I checked the definition for travel, as since I have downgraded my CSR I have nothing special to cover parking and tolls. (Altitude Reserve doesn't) It looks like this uses the same definitionas CSR/CSP , so I can get 5% on these for a quarter, perhaps earning another $1 or so!

I checked all of my Chase cards including the Amazon Prime Rewards VS and had nothing. I also checked my wife's Chase Freedom and she has an offer:

"Get 5% back in statement credits on fitness club and gym membership purchases over $50 through 03/31/2022, up to $200 in total spend.

That's up to $10 back."

That's not a very helpful category but oh well.

Try again tomorrow, maybe it'll pop up. I didn't click the email link yet, but I went to the myoffer link, and I had an old one that expires today pop up. I'm going to try tomorrow and see if the new offer pops up on that site. If it doesn't, I'll just click my email link.

I haven't received this offer (yet). The 5% on travel would be nice.

I got the email today re my Southwest card. 5x on travel, gas and grocery, 7x on Southwest purchases, up to $1500 total, through 6/30. I used the link to activate it, but the /mybonus page still show my 1Q offer.

I value Southwest points at 1.5 cpp, so this is worth $112.50 to me (ignoring opportunity cost). Thanks Chase!

I had an offer on my Amazon Visa, but nothing on my Freedom or Freedom Flex.

This is especially useful to me since there's no restriction on Walmart as grocery like there is during the Freedom grocery quarters. (I had a similar offer last quarter on my Amazon Visa, and Walmart in-store purchases did earn 3%.)

I have travel covered at 4.5% with the AR and gas at 5% with USAA, but I might move some purchases over to Chase for a couple of months just to show them some appreciation for the offer.

My friend @kilroy8, be sure to check your Chase cards!

Tried again this morning and the offer for April to June DID go through. (I had a January to March offer available when I tried yesterday.)

I'm already getting 5% on gas this quarter via the Discover It card and 3% on groceries via the Capital One SavorOne, but the 5% on travel will be nice, though I don't expect I'll get a chance to use it much.

Where are the offers? In the Chase app? I have a Prime Visa and FF. There's a chase offers section on the home page and the FF has 28 offers but nothing that states gas savings. Looks like it's all brand specific. If I switch to the Prime card it has one offer for %10 off turbotax.

Yup, got the same offer. Told my wife we will switch to the Amazon Prime card for gas starting April 1st. And then I get Affinity's email today, lol. They are continuing the 7% on gas, YEAH!!!!. Also 7% for supermarkets and 5% for garden centers. Nice categories, all will be used. Affinity rocks. Just in the process of closing on a 100K HELOC as well, at prime and first-year actually below prime. Awesome credit union.

Looks to be co-branded cards that are getting some joy? I tried my 4 true blue Chase cards and nada.

Yeah it looks that way, sort of similar to how the last couple of times American Express has offered Shop Small credits on cards, they were only available on the Amex network cards (i.e. cards issued by another bank that use Amex network), rather than on Amex issued cards.

Surprisingly, the new offer I got today at /mybonus is a different one. 5% back on up to $200 spent in gas station apps. I guess it probably stacks with the 5x, but it only gives $10 of value. (And even less to those of us who drive EVs.)

I guess the emailed offers are unrelated to the ones at /mybonus. Wierd.

I don't think I've ever received an emailed offer, or if I have it's been so long ago I can't remember it. I always have to manually check the website. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
