I recently signed up for the WAMU offer. We were having some house renovation that cost about $15k so I knew I would immediately be in the 10% tier for the gas rebate. The first rebate check is low ($79 they calculate vs. the $96 I calculate). I've had several conversations with CSR who read me the rules or try to interprete them (I feel like I'm dealing with people who can't do elementary math - not sure if they understand "percentage"). Anyway, it became obvious that they don't have anyway of finding out what is a gasoline vendor or not. They had a feed store I use (Farm City) listed as a gas station but didn't understand (??) that we get gas at 7-11. We've kept the receipts so this should be an easy battle but I'm having troubling contacting anyone with authority. Any chance you have a line to the "executive customer relations".
Thanks

I thought it went by the category the merchant uses. 7-11 is probably registered with MasterCard as a convenience store. Maybe I should buy a propane fill for the grill and see how my propane company is coded. 10% off on next winter's heating costs would be a hot deal.

Have any non-customers had any luck signing up?

I follow the link and get a page that says it's only for customers with an existing relationship, but then gives the opportunity to create an online account. After doing so, I get the card page and says "We have an offer waiting for you!" Following the "Find my Offer" link only leads back to the original "only for existing relationships" page.

anyone here ever overpaid a WAMU credit card? if so is it easy to have them mail you a check for the remaining balance? thanks

I did. No problem. But not urgent either: something like 3 weeks... {that is for relatively small amount. If you thinking to send a BT fot afew thousand - I don't know..}
I have to say a nice thing though: when I had a tiny balance, like 21cents they do "small amount adjustment" = give you a credit for that amount. Happened more, then once!

do you know how long it takes to get the rebate / CashBack check ? Is it possible to request them second check if lost .

I have requested my rebate checks several times and the checks always came in 2 statement cycles.

I had a MyPoints WaMu from December last year ($3K CL), just got approved for a second WaMu ($11K CL), this 0% APR card, but they've sent me at least two other different offers (multiple times). I'm tempted to pull the trigger on the other two as well, but since not as many people apply, because they usually don't give the best offers unless you are an established customer, there aren't many datapoints out there.

gyagya said:Hey all - does Wamu allow an existing card-holder to apply for another card? I just got the offer for CashBack + 18 months 0% APR - and I think I'm going to bite - it's just that i already have a Wamu card - and am not sure if Wamu will reject me because of that...

I just got a similar offer. It supised me since WAMU is toast, I mean Chase now. I'm going to have to give my AOR money back soon, so I might bite on this offer.

I did that with my last WAMU card - and it was successful. Wamu doesn't require you to "pay at the pump" to get the 10% CashBack, unlike Penfed (at least from Penfed's ad, that's what I gather).

That means, you can buy a gift card from the gas station attendant - and Wamu wouldn't care...

Good Luck!
