Author Topic: 5% back on your AMEX at BP gas stations (Read 22518 times)

This quarter, one of the categories that gives 5% cash back instead of the usual 1% for Chase Freedom, is department stores (like Kohl's). In addition, if you shop at Kohl's, you get another 5% off. That's in-store. Check out Chase Freedom online and see what deals they have for shopping at kohl's online (might be even better deal, although online, they don't have GCs).

As an aside, I didn't get credited for my yeshiva donation, so I called up, and no prob, they credited me another 4,000+ points.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. Missed the extra 5% at Kohl's (beyond it getting the 5% for being a dept store).

So which Kohls has the BP gift cards? Besides the one in Staten Island?

what advantage do u get out of davka buying BP cards at khols? buying anything there would give u the 5% plus 5%.
if u use gift cards at bp u dont get cash back only if u use an amex. so who cares if they have bp gift cards. buy any gift cards

You save 5% + 5% on clothing bought in kohls. The point of buying gas gc's is that you will be saving 10% on gas - if u would use the cc at the gas station you wouldn't get that savings.

Right - and if there are other gift cards that you will definitely use, go right ahead. But for most people, gas is a "need," not a "want," so you're getting it anyway. This is a way to get it for cheaper. Most other gift cards tend to be at least closer to a "want."

Called 4 Kohl's in NJ.

Three didn't carry, one doesn't have anymore.

you're not actually considering that it's true are you?

Seems impossible, but why else is step 3 so strangely worded?

I would switch over my spending very quickly if it were true but don't think there is any chance. Although it may be good for some more goodwill credit

It says he "verified" it.

I guess its possible he statement closed already and he sees the 5%...

Pretty crazy if he's right.

I confirmed that it doesn't.
In addition it does not work for BP GCs

Officially that's probably true but I doubt their system can tell if u actually purchase gas or if it was a gc.
