Quick Thoughts
There’s a generic landing page where you can try activating offers for your cobranded Chase cards, but there are also specific activation links available based on which specific cards you have. We’ve included all those links above because sometimes cardholders aren’t able to activate the spending offers when using the generic link, but can when using the registration links that have been set up for specific cards.
These could be particularly useful spending offers for the end of the year given how easy it’ll be for many people to max out the $1,500 limit of bonused spend. Note that the $1,500 limit is in combined spend across all three categories, so if you spend $1,500 at grocery stores for 5x you won’t be able to earn 10x at gas stations with that same card.
That means spending all $1,500 per cobranded card at gas stations would be the ideal situation. While many people won’t need to organically spend that much on gas from October to December, there are a number of gas station chains that sell gift cards and accept credit card payment for those. That includes Speedway, 7-Eleven, Sheetz, Cumberland Farms and more, but do a test transaction first before going all in with $1,500 of spend in case your local store doesn’t code as a gas station when making purchases in-store.
If spending $1,500 at gas stations won’t work out for you one way or another, at least you can earn 5x at grocery stores and Amazon instead. With grocery stores selling gift cards, the second Amazon Prime Day of the year coming up next week and the holidays coming in November and December, there’ll be all kinds of opportunities to rack up that bonused spend before the end of the year.

I got this on my UA card and have been using it for gas at Walmart. I checked my account today and walmart gas is not calculating 10X. I don’t see it listed as an exclusion in the terms, and it is coded as category ‘gas’. What a bum deal!
I guess 10x WN points is better than nothing, WOH didn’t like either of our cards…
Neither link worked for my Marriott Bold card.
for my southwest premier card i get the following response “
We are currently unable to identify your account.”
Does this mean i am not targeted?
That is the same error message I got for my Marriott Card.
The website does this after 5 unsuccessful attempts to register. If you look at the page address, it’s https://www.chase.com/mybonus/fivetimesretry

Sheetz in my area does not allow gift card purchases using credit cards.
After a while, nothing works at all and you get the fivetimesretry page. At that point, you might have to wait a while for any card.
Did not work on the specific card link but worked on generic link on my United card. No luck on Hyatt card.
Wife and I each got offer to earn 6,000 bonus points by spending $6,000 this quarter on Southwest personal cards. Probably not going to try on either.
@Stephen,
Will the 10x gas station works worldwide or only USA?
I think it works worldwide, but it doesn’t specifically state one way or the other unfortunately.
Do these offers always exclude business cards? I take it from your “co-brand” qualifier that Sapphire and Freedom cards are not part of this. But how about business cards like United/Southwest etc?
I don’t remember seeing business cards be eligible for these offers in the past, so it does seem like it’s targeted at consumer cards.
@Stephen, as you correctly noted, the Chase Amazon card is the exception in that it has 3% for groceries instead of 5%. But the 3% is for groceries and restaurants, not “groceries and Amazon” as you put down (Amazon is already 5x on this card all the time).
Oops, thank you! I’ll get that fixed.
For anyone interested, this didn’t work for my biz Chase SW card. Perhaps just the consumer cards.
Didn’t work on my SW Priority consumer card either 🙁
Just a datapoint…Sheetz coded as gas when I bought a couple gift cards inside. Got my 10x
which chase CC did you use and sounds like those points showed up as soon as the transaction posted (not after billing cycle ended)
My offer was on my Southwest Personal Plus ($69 annual fee). I bought the gift cards on 10/2 and by 10/4 I could see the transaction moved from pending and showed the 1x and separate 9x bonus.
This is great. In general these offers are targeted at underused cards you have. So your well used daily card, or card you did a bonus on last quarter will likely not have this offer
