Pretty much. Especially if you purchase the gas and groceries in your household.. I can easily see that being about $300 worth of spending a month (roughly!).. which equates to 1500 pts every month for your first 6 months. You only need 5000 to get $50 back. Originally Posted by AzN_RiverdaleCI

Apr 14th, 2011 03:38 PM #9310It is one of the best free CC on the market. Of course, if you don't buy groceries and gas, then look elsewhere. There might be better rewards for niche markets but overall, it is tough to beat it. Originally Posted by AzN_RiverdaleCI

Since we don't have corporate CC, we do it through our own CC. In many instances, I buy GC from my grocery store to pay for it so I get the 3%. Reply With Quote

Received my card today. But nothing in it said anything about the 5% cash back for the first six months. The agreement only spoke of the 3%. I'm sure that was advertised when I applied...I'm not sure what to think about that. Even if I phone them, it isn't in writing... By the way, GCR said that it was a $50 because I was approved after March 31, but then I got a second e-mail saying that the offer was extended for the next quarter, so I got the $60.

Apr 15th, 2011 05:41 PM #9312Since the website still shows 5% for first six months, I would not worry about it. Except for this being great feature card issuer, MBNA doesn't have their act right. They mail wrong booklets, don't answer questions accurately, and make false promises at CS end. Get used to it (: Originally Posted by TheHans

but doesn't show up how's been calculated?

Apr 15th, 2011 06:20 PM #9314Sign up for online banking with MBNA. It breaks down each transaction for you there. Originally Posted by ecgz88

Apr 15th, 2011 10:08 PM #9315Check your online statement. You should still get bonus in the US. I know I have (but only ever bought gas on it). Originally Posted by ecgz88
