Chase regularly offers 3-month spending bonuses at chase.com/mybonus.
Chase Spend and Get Offers | My Bonus | Chase.com
These bonuses have the following characteristics:
Chase Spend and Get Offers | My Bonus | Chase.com
These bonuses have the following characteristics:
- Offers are not visible in your Chase online account. You can view them only through the portal at the link above. Viewing an offer automatically registers your card for it.
- Offers are individually targeted. You may receive a different offer, or none at all, on a card type for which another FTer reports a bonus.
- A given card will have, at most, one applicable bonus offer at a time.
- Offers are typically for higher multiples of miles/points per dollar spent. Note that when an offer is for “10x on gas spend,” that means 10 points or miles per dollar total, including any category bonus native to the relevant card.
- If you downgrade a qualifying card during an offer period, the offer will still apply, but you will receive only the incremental benefit relative to the new card’s built-in category bonus, if any. For example, the Chase IHG Premier card always earns 5x on dining, so a 10x quarterly offer is worth an extra 5 points/dollar. If you downgrade to the IHG Traveler card (native 3x dining bonus), you will receive 8 total points per dollar (native 3x plus the promotional 5 points/dollar) for spending during the offer period.
- On very rare occasions, an offer may be for a fixed bonus contingent on the cardholder making a certain number of transactions of a minimum value. (For an early 2022 instance of this—5,000 UR for making 15 purchases of at least $2 each—see this post.)
- Most offers are for generic categories (gas, grocery, dining, etc.). On occasion, however, an offer may be for purchases with a specific Chase partner using the applicable co-branded card (e.g., United Airlines, Hyatt, IHG) or for a large merchant such as Amazon (Q422).
- Offers are usually capped at $1500 in spend. In some cases, however, the cap may be higher, e.g., extra miles on up to $6,000 in purchases from United Airlines on a United card.
- Bonuses are typically for standard quarterly periods, but offers may also run for other three-month periods (e.g., June/July/August). It is generally worth checking on, or even shortly before, the first of each month for any card that doesn’t currently have an associated offer.
- If you have a Q3 offer, you won’t be able to see any Q4 offer on that card until the Q3 offer expires. That said, Chase may send you an email notification a few days before the cutoff allowing you to view & pre-register for the upcoming offer.

I looked but could only find options to buy Netflix gift cards at other retailers. I would be interested in this too if anyone finds a way

I know this is a niche card, but the Chase BA Visa has a new bonus spend offer, received today- spend 10k on the card by the end of the year and get an extra 30,000 Avios. Looks like Iberia and Aer Lingus cards also get this offer.

Besides since FPL does not take CC payment without charging a hefty fee, utilities are useless, and I am hoping AMEX 10% insurance statement credit would return (it happened every 6 months in the past year and earlier this year).

The second one is most similar to the offer I received, and requires only two bill payments. (And in fact, I just confirmed that is my offer when I activated it just now.)
The third one is similar but offers 3,000 points after four bill payments, and the fourth offer gives 4,500 points after six bill payments.
The window titles of the above pages are interesting. "Sapphire 1500 RBP test offer", "Sapphire RBP 3,000 points test", "Sapphire RBP 4,500 points test". Looks like Chase is trying to find the sweet spot that will get the most responses.
Also amusing is the programming that wasn't supposed to be visible (from my activation confirmation):
Earn 1,500 bonus points in combined purchases when you pay two select bills like Utilities, Insurance, Phone Service, Cable, Internet with your [variable: Chase Sapphire Reserve/Chase Sapphire Preferred] card between July 1 - September 30, 2020.

it is a targeted offer - you need to go to the bonus offer enrollment page to check if your card(s) are eligible. Our old business premium plus is eligible, while a friend's is not.

I do not see the minimum amount to be eligible. Some other banks promotions often have minimum amount for each transaction to count.
Also the Bill Pay name is confusing to me - from the language it says the payment submitted by the merchant, i.e. you make the payment on merchant's site. My understanding on Bill Pay when banks use such term, seems to be payment initiated from the CC side to send a payment to the merchant, versus the payment initiated from the merchant site with your card being the payment card attached to your service account.
In other words, Bill Pay is a "Push" function while merchant submits a payment to your card is a "Pull" function - so how does everyone interpret which mechanism is the one for this promotion offer?

To be eligible for this offer, you must activate by 09/30/20, 11:59 p.m. E.T. You'll earn 1,500 points when you make 2 bill pay transactions in the reward categories listed below during the promotional period. For a purchase to qualify for this offer, the merchant must submit charges to your credit card by the last day of the promotional period 09/30/20.
