+1 Bonus UR Point for Google/Apple Pay
Reported on multiple blogs, but I have yet to see any any further communication like an email. Anyone have any luck with these bonus points posting? So far nothing for me, confusion if targeted or not it seems

I suspect it is in fact targeted. Didn't receive any emails and posted transactions within a day or two of the original announcement didn't earn any extra points either.

I never got anything either, but I reached out to Chase on twitter and seems like all UR earning cards are eligible? Zero info from Chase itself, only blog posts from third parities. As much marketing junk I get from Chase just odd no communication from any official channel for something I would think would would be pertinent to a large segment of the cardholders.
) and the extra points posted at the same time as the regular ones. I guess Chase tweaked it so that they wouldn't need to award extra points for any returns and such.Still, it would be nice to have something official mentioning it, even if it was just a message when I log into online banking or something.

Just checked and it looks like Chase retroactively applied the points on my Google Pay transactions from December 3rd onward. Transactions since my statement closed seem to be getting the points applied as they post, too.

Thanks for the heads up. I checked after reading your post and bonus points for transactions I made about a week ago have also posted.

For a promotion running from Dec 03 to Dec 31, I received email from Chase on Dec 11 for one card and Dec 18 on another. Each card's email applied only to that card.
Chase could have done better. Besides notifying me earlier, there could have been one message that described the promotion for all applicable cards. Even now, I'm wondering whether I'll get yet another email for another UR-earning card. Ridiculous!

It looks like my first Apple Pay bonus on the Sapphire was on December 3th. Looking forward to an airbnb posting. Unfortunately my home insurance company’s iPhone app doesn’t support Apple Pay, any way around it?

VGC from a store that supports NFC? Though depending on the bill it might not be worth the GC fee.

I wound up doing pretty well with this promo despite poor communication. Spend a few weeks in Copenhagen where food and drink is quite high and everyone- including street vendors at the Christmas markets took Apple Pay

Anyway, there's definitely been improvement in merchant acceptance in the US but it's still fairly poor compared to elsewhere.
