The 5% Cashback Bonus is generally posted to your account one to two billing periods after the transaction.

If you did not receive your Cashback Bonus after making a category purchase, check the terms of the program. Because you earn 5% on category purchases up to the dollar amount of purchases specified in each program, make sure your purchase was in the correct category and your total purchases in the category have not exceeded the dollar amount specified for the that program.

Please also note the date of your category purchase and the date you signed up for the program. You will earn 5% beginning on either the start date of the program you sign up for or the date you signed up for the program, whichever is later..

The merchant and qualification details for each quarter’s 5% Cashback Bonus can be found in our program details and disclosures. Maintaining an account solely for the purpose of purchasing gift cards may be considered an abuse of our rewards program.

There are all kinds of reasons to get a credit card: you have to make the decision that’s right for you. Depending on your credit card eligibility, you may receive credit card offers in the mail and decide to apply for a credit card because of the rewards, pricing (like interest rate and fees) or credit card deals. Or you might want to establish or improve your credit card history. Credit cards for bad credit, like prepaid secured credit cards, may help people with bad credit improve their credit score over time. And people may build a credit history by using specific credit cards for fair credit or credit cards for poor credit and making monthly required payments on time.
