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.

Thanks for the follow-up, notquiteaff. It does make sense that Hyatt would not know the total spend on the card, so Chase would need to issue the cert. Still, it does seem like Hyatt needed to be involved and should have known the expiration of the cert. Ah, well, the machinations of corporate America are largely beyond my ken.

Spend $4k Oct27-Dec 31 on Hyatt card, get a cat 1-4 free night cert.
That might actually make it worth shifting some spend to the Hyatt card considering that I also get 5X on Amazon and 3X on Groceries during that time.
T&C don’t seem to include expiration date of cert, though.

Someone just forgot to tell the customer service people about it, I would guess. Oh well.

"You'll earn 5 total miles for every $1 you spend on up to $1,500 per month in combined purchases at Amazon.com and grocery stores from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, 2020 with your United MileagePlus® Credit Card."
Seems like an easy 15k UA miles. Targeted or broad offer?

Amazon 5X, groceries 3X on old IHG and old Hyatt cards
Amazon + Groceries 5X on UA Explorer
Amazon + Groceries 5X, Marriott Hotels 10X on Bonvoy card
That said, my wife got nothing on her BA Visa.
Did you get 5X groceries or 3X (and 5X on Amazon)?

A generous way to max the monthly 5x grocery bonus would be to look for a grocery store that are dollar-for-dollar matching donations in November for food insecurity causes. Donate $500: Charity gets $1000, and you get a good feeling, the $500 write-off, and 5x 500 points (which are then PYB-eligible). Or, for J4U points, buy VGCs and donate the GCs and reimburse the points.

I received the Amazon Prime Visa offer of 5x points to pay my utilities. Does anyone know if streaming services like YouTube TV count as a utility? I believe Visa tends to code it as a utility, but I wonder if anyone had a DP.

I got this offer: Earn 5x total points, activate this offer and get 5x total points on up to $2,000 in combined purchases made with your Chase Sapphire Preferred® card from Nov. 1, 2020, through Dec. 31, 2020, in select categories:*
Phone service
Cellular, wireless data and landline services
Internet
Internet services
Cable
Cable and satellite television services
Utilities
Electric, household fuel and water
Insurance
Health, automobile, homeowners, medical and life insurance
Weirdly, spouse's Sapphire Reserve did not get this offer. We got all the general offers all Sapphire cardholders are getting, so I'm guessing this is targeted? What's the best way to go about it, just prepay bills?

Short of being lucky enough to have an annual insurance payment come due by the end of the year and be payable by credit card, I think I would have trouble using half the offer.
