MilesBuzz! - 20,000 miles-NWA-WP Visa Business Card

Just got an email this AM with the 20K offer. Annual fee of $75. They do ask for your Tax ID number. Call 1-800-796-4650, ext. 63836 or this site (http://www.worldperksvisa.com/cgi_w/cfm/wpv/landing/business/new_index.cfm?PromoID=perks505&redirect=perks505) This is 5K more miles than what you get by applying thru the NWA site. I'll take 20K miles for $75. :)

This is 5K more miles than what you get by applying thru the NWA site.
Actually, it's 5k less than current offers:
http://www.nwa.com/offers/perkology/?omni=ha.perkology-hp.226x60#25000

The 'perkology' program!! Thanks for bringing that up. The fine print says "Existing and previous WorldPerks Visa Business Card Accounts do not qualify for Enrollment Bonus Miles for a similar account type."

The offer I got says that you couldn't have had a card w/in the last 12 months. Might make a difference to some.

I'm going to apply for both and see what shakes out.

I already have that card. I suppose I could apply for it anyway & see what happens.

EARN UP TO 25,000 BONUS MILES:

Must be approved and use or pay the annual fee for a new WorldPerks Visa Signature, Platinum, or Business Card. You are eligible to receive one-time Enrollment Bonus Miles for each new WorldPerks Visa Platinum or Signature Card Account type. Existing and previous accounts do not qualify for Enrollment Bonus Miles for a similar account type.
Up to 20,000 Bonus Miles will be award by U.S. Bank and 5,000 Bonus Miles will be award by Northwest on a Card that has been used or annual fee has been paid. Up to 20,000 Bonus Miles are awarded to new WorldPerks Visa Signature and Business Cardmembers and up to 15,000 Bonus Miles are awarded to new WorldPerks Visa Platinum Cardmembers from U.S. Bank. An additional 5,000 Bonus Miles will be awarded by Northwest to new WorldPerks Visa Signature, Business, and Platinum accounts.
To apply for the WorldPerks Visa Perkology offer, you must click here or call (800) 369-4086 ext. 34904.

When the agent answered she said I could not apply for the Business card using the ext. # 34904 listed above. Instead of arguing I just applied for the Signature card. She said the annual fee would be waived since I used the ext. # 34904 & I'd get 25K miles . Yes, I know I may not get the miles because it says "existing and previous accounts do not qualify...". Never hurts to try. UA's website said the same thing too.

I'd like to see where the fine print says that... by clicking your link it says

"20,000 Enrollment Bonus Miles will be awarded when you are approved for a Card and pay your annual fee or use your Card for purchases, whichever occurs first. You are eligible to receive one-time Enrollment Bonus Miles for each new WorldPerks Business Card Account type"

I just applied for the Signature card. She said the annual fee would be waived since I used the ext. # 34904 & I'd get 25K miles .

Phil

That makes the offer much more interesting!

Did you specifically ask for this or did she just offer it while you were applying?

She just offered it. I was surprised. Maybe she goofed. Call and see what they say to you.

read the fine print. the interest rate is outrageous for those who carry balances.

Damn, I'm jealous. I got a Platinum card back in March (online app) and had to pay the fee...

Who the hell carries a balance?

Inspired by this thread, I just called and applied for a Signature Card. The agent was very clear that the annual fee was waived for the first year, then $90.

25K miles at first use.

Great. Thanks FTers for sharing. ^

Darn it all. I didn't have as good luck. I called 800-796-4650 ext 34904. All the cards had varying fees, none waived the first year for both business and consumer.
She said, "for that extension" there are no waived fees....
so something else is out there perhaps. =)

Surprised more people aren't reporting back on trying this. I'll make an attempt tomorrow if I can remember.

Annual fee not waived on my attempt. Ouch. I need me a free ticket.

Tried calling in today, representative said fee could not be waived.

Has anyone else been succesful?

I thought the number should be (800) 369-4086 ext. 34904, as mentioned in post #4.

The number I called was 800-369-4086 ext. 34904. See my May 2 post above. Got the card with, the rep promised, no annual fee for first year. :)

But after reading some of the above posts, I am starting to wonder. :confused: Still, 25K miles for $90 ain't bad. :cool: I'll know more when card comes.

Since I have had 24K NW orphan miles for quite a while it will be nice to get enough for a ticket somewhere.

I already have that card. I suppose I could apply for it anyway & see what happens.

I received an acceptance letter yesterday. I wonder if it was for the Business card I applied for online (20K miles) or the Personal card I applied for over the phone (25K miles) the next day? Hummmm?

Phil

If you have a WP Visa card you can make award rez. using only 21K miles. See NW website. :)
http://www.nwa.com/features/wpvawardtraveldiscount/

Good point. But, of course, I don't have the card. Yet. :)

Actually, I believe the Signature Card offer I applied for has award tickets for 19K miles once a year. ^

Assuming you can actually get them. :)

From the WPerks site:

"WorldPerks Visa Signature Cardmembers receive a 6,000 mile award travel discount, while WorldPerks Visa Platinum and Business Cardmembers are eligible for a 4,000 mile award travel discount."

I received an acceptance letter yesterday. I wonder if it was for the Business card I applied for online (20K miles) or the Personal card I applied for over the phone (25K miles) the next day? Hummmm?

Phil

Recieved my NW Business card last week, used it right away, and the miles posted on Sunday!!!!! The email link I applied thru was for 20K miles but they credited me 25K! When my first statement comes I'll let you know if there is an annual fee.

Phil

I cancelled my old NW signature card just over 6 months ago. Should I not even bother to try for this deal? I got my 20K bonus for my old card in December 2005 if that matters.

I cancelled a NW biz Visa in July 06 (rcv'd 15K bonus July 05) ... I assume the same churn restrictions apply to both?

I know I've received multiple bonuses (bonii?) from a NW Visa card, I just can't remember reading what the required waiting period is before I can apply for another.

any assistance would be appreciated.

I have been told that the wait period is 3 years before you can churn. 3 years worked for me for the personal card.

Could be that the count is separate for the personal and business cards. The only way to find out is to try it after 3 years.

I received my new Signature card today. The enclosed matter states that annual fee is zero. ^

Wonder if that is just for the first year, or forever? Enclosed stuff doesn't say.

Used the card for the first time for some coffee. Can't wait to see my bonus miles post. :D

Free first year only. Then cancel or pay the fee.

Not so with me. I just received a new NW WP Visa signature card yesterday. I also have one that I got in June, 2006. That's less than 12 months. :) I also got the Signature business card last week & the miles already posted!! :D BTW, the new WP Visa Signature card is black & gray. My old one was shades of blue.

Phil

My 25K miles posted this morning. :)

Shows as 20K bonus and 5K perkology bonus.

Oddly, although I only got the card a few days ago and used it for the first time around three days ago, the bonus miles are shown as posting ten days ago, apparently one day after I applied. Yet the terms of the offer are bonus miles for first use.

Anyhow, now 25K miles ahead, I am happy. :D

Watch your statements carefully. After being told that I had received a fee-free for the first year card, US Bank tried to charge me the annual fee. Twice. (called in, got it reversed once, then was charged again next month)When I called to complain, I had to fight with the CSR, as they said, "There are no cards offered fee-free."

Hit the jackpot, finally. In todays mail
"As a Northwest Worldperks Silver Elite Member, you're in very exclusive company...."

22,000 miles and pay no annual fee the 1st year + 5000 bonus miles for spending $500 in first 2 months.

+ Perkology..

wow.

1800-360-2900 ext 32106

Any non-elites tried mike's number? Seems tempting!

Update: Tried it and it worked! No mention of the Perkology bonus. *fingers crossed*

Ahh crap! I didn't think of registering for Perkology before using mike's offer. I just did, but they're probably already approved or rejected me by now. I'm wondering if the letter said one needed to preregister before calling. I had to screw this great offer up.

Just called 1800-360-2900 ext 32106 and applied for a business card (since I got a personal card recently). The best offer the nice lady on the phone had was 20K and annual fee waived for first year ($75). Initial offer for biz card was 15K and no annual fee for first year, but she found a better offer when I asked. There was also a 15K bonus offer for first year and 10K add'tl bonus after 15 months.

Lady assured me that I could get another personal card if I wanted, but I would not get any bonus miles. Bummer! :eek:

Still 20K bonus and and no annual fee--not too shabby. :)

Just signed up. No fee for the first year. Collect your 25K and enjoy

Which number did you call borneo? And did you apply for a business or a personal card? Your help is appreciated

Just got my biz card today. The material with the card showed a $75 fee. So, called US Bank and was told that there is no fee for first year, $75 thereafter.

Looking forward to seeing the 20K bonus. ^

Starting to feel more affectionate towards NWA. :)

If you signed up for their (NW) Perkology promo you'll probably get 25K like I did. :) Miles posted the day after my first purchase. Amazing.

Thanks for the info philemer. I did sign up for the Perkology program. Now, I feel even more positive towards NWA.

Just about 25% more positive. :)

I signed up for both the business and personal and got 25,000 for both (20,000 plus 5000 perkology), no fee for the first year business and talked them into no fee for the first year on the personal card even though I didn't sign up for that promo and $90 appeared on my first statement!

when does this offer expire? is it may 31?

Yes, just checked my miles. I did get 25K for opening the business card. Wow, what a deal! Open two cards and get 50K in NW miles with no annual fees for first year. ^

Now, I am wondering if a friend signs up by May 31 will he get the 50K in bonus and perkology miles even though he obviously cannot make his first charge until after the May 31 finish to perkology?

Actually, it's 5k less than current offers:

You do realize this thread is more than one-year old, right?

That particular promo was a limited-time offer in last year and had long expired. :p

I applied end of April here and got the 22,500 miles posted:http://www.worldperksvisa.com/cgi_w/cfm/wpv/landing/personal/new_index.cfm?PromoID=perks1203&redirect=perks1203&ics_src=83403

Now I wanted to apply for Mrs. USAFAN, but the "No annual fee for the first year" is gone.:(

The "2,500 Bonus Miles for adding a Joint Account" is not mentioned, but I found it in the fine print!

Is there a way/link for 22,500 miles (more or less) with NO annual fee for the first year?
Thanks

I have realized that it is an "older" thread .... however, I don't want to miss any offer, which might be out there.:cool:
BTW, I found lots of nice offers through FlyerTalk! THANKS!
