Auto pay on my Credit Card - I get 5% so why not?

Oh this verizon messages thing. Why can't I see my replies on my phone when I use my tablet to send? This is annoying.

I downloaded it too, also because it's so highly recommended by people responding to this thread. So far I'm torn between it and one of the two stock messaging apps on the phone already. My only quibble with Textra: the app icon that I keep at the bottom of my home screen doesn't have a little superimposed number showing me how many unread texts I have. Silly, I know, but I've been using Motorola Android phones since 2010, and I've gotten used to that. I'm still not 100 percent used to not having the colored LED notification lights lol

My Textra app shows the numerical missed text icon in my apps drawer and on my sidebar...

You get 5% back on your credit card?? What the heck card do you use?

You need to select the reward each quarter but so far this year I have almost $500 in cash back. I put all my bills on it then pay them off each month. I see Discover is 5% on department stores and home improvement. I might go buy a bunch of tools.

After a few days of use I am going to stick with Textra. I see it has the mms scrolling feature I like plus many others

I simply refuse to even consider any preinstalled Verizon apps. ;)
And yes, Verizon messaging is now a pre-installed app. It came as the default messaging app on my note 5... even though Samsung has its own stock texting app pre-installed.

Wow, that was a long trial. Trials up and cost is $2.49.
The only annoying part to me is that you could have said somewhere what the full price would be.
Thinking about it.

But we got in on the ground floor and it was only .99. Evidently the try before buy time went up along with the price.
