Has anyone who has Chase offer, bought the cards before finding out the offer, then added it a few hours later - still got the statement credit?
I know AMEX offer if added the same day of the transaction, it will still post the statement credit. Anybody knows about Chase? The Chase offer did not show up on the weekend. I haven't checked it again before heading out. Only bought a set of $200x2. Then just found out 3 Inks in the household got the offer ($11), plus 2 CSP and 1 CFU ($8). They are all for organic spend but I really hate to pile up the Gebits which there are always the risk of being hacked.

I would be curious as to where the literature is that the Visa promo is going on for two weeks. I believe this may have happened once before but I recall it being advertised. Worst case, go to a friendly CSR and ring up two cards and see if the discount applies. They have been MIA this summer which is odd, OD usually goes cold on VGC/MCGC from new years day and on for a few months.

Probably for the best. Why should they "suspend" accounts, people can shop for whatever they like, you can clawback all you want, but what about my other charges at local restaurants? Dosh locking those up is ridiculous. And Dosh has totally pocketed the money from OD, obviously OD would figure out how to code their system to not pay out for gift cards if they were told. Lest we forget the phone # entry incident(s) from 4-5 years ago.

There are lots of DPs on people being suspended for buying GCs at OM.
I was suspended but met the requirements for reinstatement and recovered my balances due me. They even included my technically illegal amount from my OM GCs purchases, so they didn’t keep anything for themselves.

You may wish what you will, but Dosh will suspend your account if you get their rebate from gift cards. They specifically state it in their T&Cs. And I suspect that by suspending you rather than banning you, they can keep any cash balance until you meet the criteria for reinstatement.
