Bargain of the Week

Get $10 Credit Per Transaction Using Paze Wallet

This is such an amazing deal, we are going to continue showing it here.

When you buy something at participating merchants for at least $10, and choose a new electronic wallet called Paze as your payment method with which you have associated your participating debit or credit card, Paze will give you $10 back as a statement credit. (See offer and terms.)

For example, MrConsumer has a CapitalOne Visa card and he associated it with his Paze account. If he uses the Paze checkout choice at Dominos.com and buys their $9.99 plus tax any size pizza special, he eventually gets a $10 credit for it on his CapitalOne statement (up to 10 times PER CARD in his Paze wallet for up to $100). If he added his Chase card, that could mean an additional up to $100 in statement credits.

Make sure you see the green "Spend $10, Get $10 back..." offer after selecting your card from Paze wallet for any particular transaction. Some merchants may limit access to Paze.

Participating banks include Chase, Bank of America, CapitalOne, Citi, PNC, US Bank, and Wells Fargo. Participating merchants also include Wendy's, Dunkin', United Airlines, Shop Rite, Newegg, GNC, 1-800-Flowers, and more. The offer runs until September 10.
