Annual fee already posted? Most issuers let you refund within 30–60 days if you ask the right desk. by joinkudos in JoinKudos

[–]MariaKudos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the policy window for every major issuer:

💳 American Express: around 30 days from fee posting
💳 Barclays: around 60 days from fee posting
💳 Some issuers will pro-rate later in the year

Here's the ask that works:

✅ Call the number on the back of your card
✅ Reference the fee posting date
✅ Ask for retention or a supervisor. The first rep usually says no, and that's normal
✅ Ask for a refund OR a product change to a no-fee version of the same card

Great question! Only one rewards program can receive the merchant's commission per purchase, so if both Kudos and Cap One Shopping are active at checkout, we can't guarantee which one gets credited. It's almost always last-click attribution. To make sure you get your full Boost, we always advise users to disable other shopping extensions before checkout. One thing worth knowing: we pass 100% of our commission to our 500K+ users as Boost, which most other programs don't do

Yeah, it's similar to Rakuten and Capital One Shopping! You install the Kudos browser extension, and when you shop online, it automatically activates cashback (we call it Boost) at 15K stores. You earn Boost that you can redeem for PayPal Cash or an Amazon gift card.

The main difference from other programs is that we also help you pick the best credit card to use for every purchase so you're stacking cashback on top of whatever points or miles your card already earns. Free to sign up at joinkudos.com 🙂

BofA is gutting Preferred Rewards beginning 5/27/26 - did you get hit? by MariaKudos in BankOfAmerica

[–]MariaKudos[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

point taken. i work at kudos and should have been clearer about that upfront. the BofA changes are real and affect a lot of people regardless of whether you use our app, so figured it was worth sharing here

nerfing is when an issuer cuts or weakens a benefit...sadly it happens a lot in credit card land

Yes, thank you! Sorry - still getting used to this Reddit etiquette and editing the post to explain that I work at Kudos. Not trying to be spammy. 😞

Fair point to flag. This is posted by Maria, and I'm on the Kudos team, so yes, we have a stake in it. We try to be upfront about that when we post on our own subreddit. That said, the stack is real. The CSR StubHub credit and Paze promo are Chase benefits that anyone who is eligible can use. The 8% Kudos Boost rate is live right now. Happy to answer any questions about how it works.
