Folks on Reddit report that American Express has now added terms to exclude Google Fi from counting as the Wireless category. This matters for things like the $10 Amex Business Platinum credit and for the 4x earn on the Business Gold.
Any purchases from Google Fi, third parties, authorized retailers or resellers are excluded. (Terms link)
From the statement: “Effective June 21, 2024, Google Fi is not an eligible US wireless provider and purchases of Google Fi will not be eligible for additional rewards or statement credits under the wireless rewards category”
From what I gather, it hasn’t worked in a while, and needed manual application to get credit. Going forward it’s less likely we’ll be able to get manual credit given it being clearly excluded.
