“Up to a year” adds up the cash value of the listed credits if you use every one in full. Credits you unlock by spending aren’t counted.
Before you count on these
- Most need a one-time activation first. The card’s page says how.
- Pay the membership directly with the card: memberships bought through an app store or another company often don’t count.
- Only count them if you’d pay for the gym or app anyway.
Premium Finance, our free app, tracks these credits on the cards you hold and reminds you before each one runs out. Open the app.
