Applied for new card in 3/15 as it has been over 24months since i got my previous bonus...my statement closed on 4/6 and i only see 5k bonus miles for adding authorized user posted to my UA account :(

Called chase and they say that i should probably receive it next statement and i should get the bonus unless i had an account open in past 2yrs.....i told them that the terms and conditions said 24months since last time i got the bonus awarded....she was a bit confused and mentioned that i should wait until next statement? I met the 2k spend well before statement closed....i am a bit worried...

Did i screw up the 50k bonus since i got the new card within 24months of CLOSING the previous account? Anyone with similar experience?

Do you know EXACTLY when your previous bonus is earned? Hint: Bonus usually is posted on Statement close date, that is the earned date.

You would need to earn that bonus in 02/2012 in order to be eligible for another bonus in 03/15 app.

Chase usually would send out a postcard if you are not eligible for a bonus. That usually comes very conveniently / inconveniently at the statement closing on the cycle when you met the spend. If you have not received such postcard, chances are it is a timing issue. With Chase you need to meet spend 7 to 10 days before statement close. If there are holidays, it may need more days still. Else it would be on the next statement. Exactly how long you have met the spend before the statement closing date?

Thanks for the reply....but, i thought the eligibility criteria is "you have not received a new card member bonus for this product in past 24months "

That will put me around 2/13 to be eligible again not 2/12. Am i missing something? I can't check when exactly i got the bonus last time...in my UA statements i can only go as far back as 12/01/2012 and i don't see the bonus posted anytime after 12/01/2012..i guess its time to start a AoR google docs sheet to keep track!

Just went back to my transactions....my statement closed on 4/6 and i hit the 2k mark on 4/2

I will probably wait until the next statement close before i freak out....

Do we need to present our chase card if we use the one-time lounge passes? I am planning to cancel my card but I just received new club passes in the mail. Never used them before...

Nope, all you need is the pass itself.

Possible to get the 55k + $50 offer simply by making a dummy booking on United site. Should show on the first page after you click search to the right a bit.
