Chase Ink 5X Bonus On Project Fi charges
« on: August 18, 2019, 01:57:20 AM »
I just realized that project Fi wasn't being categorized as phone spend for the bonus earning (Applicable to Ink Plus and Ink Cash cards)

I called and the rep said that Fi is coded by the merchant as digital content or something similar. I argued that Its definitely a phone service. After putting on hold he was able to apply additional 4360 UR points for my charges since December.

If you charge Google Fi on an ink card be sure to review how its coded.

Before I called chase I did a Google search and Google Fi was listed by many bloggers as earning 5X Points.

I don't see the risk of calling chase and making them aware of the wrong classification.

Phones aren't 5x. Bills are 5x.

I was referring to the monthly charges. I was getting 1 point only, and now it was changed to 5X points
Technically speaking the monthly charges are combined of phone service and device installment, but same is true for Verizon.
