American Express Platinum® Card Offer

FAQ

Here are answers to common questions we receive regarding our FlyerFunds credit card and bank account rebate program.

• Where can I see the status of my FlyerFunds?

  You can monitor the status of your individual rebate application on the unique application page (sent to you via email when you apply). You can also see the status of all your rebate applications with Frugal Flyer from your rebate application dashboard.

• When will I be paid my FlyerFunds?

  You will be sent payment as soon as your application is tracked and confirmed as approved and eligible on our affiliate dashboard. This can take up to 12 weeks from the date of application, however we frequently pay in advance of the specified date. Once your rebate application is confirmed as approved, you will see the expected date of payment on both your unique rebate application page and your rebate application dashboard.

• What payment method do you use to send FlyerFunds?

  We send payment using PayPal, which will allow you to withdraw the money straight to your bank account. If you don't have a PayPal account at the time of payment, you will be prompted to create one.

• How do I change my username or payment email associated with my application?

  If you would like to change your username email address or payment (PayPal) email address, please make the request to us by email to [email protected] from the email address already on file.

• Will I receive FlyerFunds if I used a different link to apply?

  No. To be eligible, you must sign up for the financial product directly using the link provided to you on Frugal Flyer. You cannot 'double dip' using multiple cashback sites, referrals, or any other links.

• Will I receive FlyerFunds if I finish my application in branch?

  Possibly. If you continue an application in branch that was submitted online, it may be attributed to Frugal Flyer. However, it may depend on the institution, the in branch associate, and other factors out of our control. Ultimately, if the approval cannot be attributed to Frugal Flyer, then the application will not be eligible for FlyerFunds.

• Why does my rebate show as 'Declined' when I was approved for the credit card or bank account?

  Rebate status is determined by the financial institution and it is then communicated to us whether you are eligible for the rebate or not. Although rare, sometimes the rebate can be declined by the financial institution. In these cases, we do not receive any additional information as to why you were not eligible for the rebate.

• Is there an expiry date on FlyerFunds offers?

  FlyerFunds offers do not have a definitive end date, and are subject to change, sometimes without notice. If a FlyerFunds offer changes, your eligibility will be determined by the date of application on the institution's website, and not by the date that your rebate application was generated.

• How does Frugal Flyer make money from this offer?

  Frugal Flyer is paid an affiliate commission from the issuer of the product. We pass on a portion of this commission to you.

• Why should I use Frugal Flyer and not other cashback websites?

  There are several reasons why you should consider using Frugal Flyer for your credit card and bank account applications, including:
  - Frugal Flyer aims to consistently provide the most competitive offers on credit card and bank account rebates. You can confirm this by using our Rebate Comparison Tool.
  - Frugal Flyer pays out rebates on a rolling basis, not quarterly. This means you will receive your money quicker than you would with other cashback sites.
  - Frugal Flyer is the only rebate site that specializes in travel hacking and credit card rewards content. By using FlyerFunds you are supporting us to create more quality content to help you save money on travel.

• What is the FlyerFunds Loyalty Bonus?

  The FlyerFunds Loyalty Bonus is a $20 bonus we award to customers for every 4 approved FlyerFunds rebate applications. This feature is better than a referral program and is something no other Canadian rebate site offers. It rewards customers who are loyal to Frugal Flyer and ensures you end up with more cash in your pocket than you would using other competitor rebate sites. You can view your current progress toward your next Loyalty Bonus on your Rebate Application Dashboard when logged in. Payment is sent using PayPal and can be delayed 1-2 weeks following the approval of your 4th qualifying application.
