I just maxed out this offer on my Chase credit card by buying a $200 Walmart gift card. It will come in handy since I buy my gas a lot at Sam’s Club and the gas prices here are climbing quickly. Just yesterday gas went up 15 cents a gallon. The biggest one day gain in years.Today gas is sitting at $5.20 a gallon at Sam’s ($5.25 at Costco), so with today’s gas prices that would save me 26 cents a gallon. Not that much, but every little bit of savings helps. I am going to spend the money at Walmart and Sam’s Club anyway. I might as well get 5% off.
I also have the offer on my checking account, so I may do it again sometime next month for another $200. I am correct in saying that, at least for Chase, when an offer appears on a checking account and a credit card, they are considered separate offers, tight? I think that is correct.
