There was previous promo with the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, but now there is a another separate promo with the Chase Freedom. Earn a $15 statement credit after you spend $15 or more with your Chase Freedom® card using Visa Checkout. Valid for new or existing Visa Checkout accountholders. Read on, it’s an easy $15 if you have this card.
More people out there probably have the Chase Freedom card. No annual fee and 5% cash back in rotating categories every quarter.
Visa Checkout is a way to pay for things online without have to give a merchant your credit card number. You use a login and password instead. Think Paypal, but Visa-branded. Participating merchants include Pizzahut.com, Shutterfly, Newegg, Staples, Fandango, Orbitz, Gap, and more.
Since these are all online websites, you can also use a cashback shopping portal for many merchants and get a little bit extra back. Some suggestions for a small online purchase:
- Order a pizza from PizzaHut.com. You must get it delivered, not carry out. I can usually get 2 pizzas for around $20, so a $15 credit would cover most of dinner that day.
- Buy some movie tickets from Fandango.
- Go to NewEgg.com and buy a $15 to $20 gift card to a place you like.
- Buy a gift card from Staples.com
Selected fine print:
This offer is valid from 11/2/2015 through 12/31/2015. To qualify for this offer, you must make a single purchase of $15 or more using your Chase Freedom Visa credit card with your Visa Checkout account during checkout. Limit (1) $15 statement credit per customer or card account. Allow 1 to 2 billing cycles from Visa Checkout purchase for delivery of the statement credit to the Chase Freedom account added to the Visa Checkout account; your card account must remain open and not be in default to receive the statement credit.
Newegg has some $15 gift cards available, including from K-Mart and Burger King. There are likely others, but I stopped browsing when I chose the unhealthy option of Burger King for this promo.
Thanks for this tip. You can use Visa Checkout to reload a gift card in the Dunkin Donuts mobile app.
Do gift cards on Fandango qualify?
They should, as far as I can tell.
I made a qualifying purchase back in November using my Chase Freedom Visa credit card through Visa Checkout and have yet to see a statement credit… it’s been two billing cycles now… has anyone seen their $15 bonus post?
