Thank you for that information. I happened to recharge my card a week ago with a visa and so wrote asking why I didn't see the extra $5. Here's the response:
The $5.00 Visa promotional credit for the reload of at least $25.00 has to be done online before the day of January 31, 2012 and will be applied the week of February 6, 2012. The time frame for the credit to be applied was specified towards the bottom of the promotional email, but it was in small print. Please note the offer is only valid for 1 credit of $5.00 per account.
Unfortunately, you will not get a confirmation that it was applied. If you would like to verify that it did go through, you can give us a call at 1-800-782-7282 Monday through Friday from 5AM to 8PM (PST) that following Monday, 02/09/2012. The other option would be to review your transaction detail online. Thank you for your time.
