Getting Cash Back for Verizon Cable/Internet/Phone Spend

[credit8502020]

Hi All! Do any of you pay for Verizon Cable & Internet and get cash back by paying with your credit card? I paid my Verizon bill with my Elan card, but did not receive cash back because, although it shows as a "VERIZON BILL PAYMENT VERIZON.COM FL" it was coded as "CALLS THROUGH USE OF MAGNETIC STRIPE - READING TELEPHONES"

I'm looking for the best option to get 5% cash back for this spend. 

Thank you for your feedback!

Dont think there is such a thing or I'd have it. AMEX has 6% for streaming which covers my Peacock. If you have any 2% CB cards. Thats all I know about it.

@FireMedic1 Ok. Thank you! If you have Verizon for cable or internet, does it code the same way? It's really unfortunate since it's my understanding that Xfinity works with US Bank cards as a category.

Whichever card you have that has the highest cash back. Use the one. I'm sure you pay online.

@FireMedic1 Unfortunately none of them have 5% so I was looking for something that would have that category. Wanting a card similar to, but not the Citi Custom Cash to get 5%. The rest of my cards are 2%.

Not sure how it is coded on the backside. Maybe use cellphone as your category? Or perhaps the BMO Cash Back card?

@BigBS It's coded as 04814 and not allowing 5% for TV internet category on my Elan card. Someone else mentioned that using Paypal Credit may work. I'm waiting to hear back.

I can only use one or the other with the card. Is the BMO Cash Back Card available to those in the US. Thank you for mentioning this.

It may be area specific, @K-in-Boston has also reported to mag tape description but I think successfully got 5%  In Boston FioS at least codes as cellphone rather than internet, but don't know elsewhere.   Do you have FioS or some other Verizon product?

The best effective "cash back" card for Verizon spend can be the Synchrony Verizon Card.  It provides 2% in credits that you can use toward your bill.  That's not a game changer.  But auto charging your bill to the card can provide an additional $10 credit on your monthly statement.  Sign up for a Verizon cell phone, and you double up on both.
