Our Verdict
See our review of Kudos here to learn more about them. The 25% will only be if you have a card which earns 5% at the merchant, in which case Kudos would give you an extra 20% for going through their portal. Note: the rewards comes as Amazon gift card, not cash.
If someone has a card which earns 3x on Travel, you should be able to get an extra 12% back from Kudos on top of that for the travel merchants here, such as Choice Hotels. Let us know if there are other merchants that you find interesting with this deal.
Personally, I’m seeing Kudos offer me 12% bonus at Giftcards.com on top of the 3% which I’d earn with my Blue Cash Everyday card which is saved in my Kudos wallet. 12% back on Giftcards.com is excellent. Exclusions mentioned by Kudos: “Online Purchase is greater than 2000 or Purchase with Coupon Code.”
Kudos also offers a $20 bonus to those who signup using a referral link and make a purchase at a purchase on a boost merchant. My appreciation if you use my referral link. The signup link will prompt you to add the Kudos chrome/safari extension and then to signup for an account by adding your name and credit cards. In the signup process there will be a box for a referral code, my code is CEDAR_KUDOS. We’ll each get $20 if you use it and complete the qualifications. Note: It takes a while for your $20 bonus to post, see the comments in the main post for more discussion.
