Referral Program/Bonus
Yes, there actually is a referral program, but it's a bit tedious to go through the hoops, but here goes:
1) You will need *your* Skypass Account # (you are the referer), and you will have to furnish this to the person applying for the card.
2) The person who is applying will also need to know THEIR Skypass account #. Obviously they need to obtain this in advance.
3) OK, now the applicant needs to use this Referral link: https://www.skypassvisa.com/credit/referAFriend.do
4) Under the "not a cardmember yet" section, the first item has a link to FIND the Skypass VISA that's best for you. You MUST USE THIS LINK.
5) Select the card that you are applying for (Check the box that says: Compare this card) and then click Compare cards. Even if it's just one card.
6) Then scroll down all the way to the bottom and see the "Apply Now" link. Click it.
7) The first two boxes should ask for YOUR Skypass # and the REFERER's Skypass #. If you don't see a box for the REFERER's Skypass #, do NOT CONTINUE.
Anyway, if all shows up OK, and you're approved, you'll get your bonus, and the REFERER will get another 5,000 bonus points. In my experience, the statement closing date that the person (applicant) gets their bonus miles should be when you'll see the 5,000 miles on *your* closing statement.
May not be much, but given that Chase UR is no longer a transfer partner, an extra 5k miles is worth something, IMO.

New Account Number Issue: It's possible that, despite providing your current Skypass number in the application, a new Skypass number may end up being generated and linked to your new US Bank card. US Bank may or may not be able (or willing) to correct this. If not, contact Skypass at [email protected] with detailed information about the situation. They should be able to merge your old Skypass balance and information - including login, flight history, family pooling info, personal details, etc. - into the new Visa-card-linked Skypass account (just make sure the names precisely match including full middle name if used). This way you keep all of your mileage balance and other details but new card earnings aren't sitting in an orphan account number. Skypass folks are pretty quick in fixing it.

I also got the "7-10 days" message when I applied today (nothing like waiting until the last minute), so I'm glad to see this happened to everyone else too.
I applied May 9th and my application is still in process according to the automated status checking on the phone (800-947-1444). I spoke to a representative a couple of days ago and they were no help at all. I thought that if I offered to split the $12k credit limit of my Club Carlson card with the KE card, I could get a quick approval like you can on the Chase reconsideration line. The rep just said that my app is going through normal processing, and she couldn't even make a note of my offer to split my credit limit.
Update: I just received an email today (May 15) that I was approved, so it was a total of 4 business days.

Been a lurker for a while and hopefully I can (for once) help you guys out. My wife and I both applied for both the business and the personal, she got both, I strangely got just the business card.
This is where things get kind of strange. I received the cards and have made a purchase on the cards and I send a message to their online service and the reply was simply "You will receive your 10,000 miles when your first statement is posted"; to which I immediately called their CSR.
I was told then that I had to spend $2,500 within three months and would then get 35,000 miles. Both of these were completely different from the offer that both my wife and I signed up for. I'm not sure if this is common with US Bank or not, but definitely strange. I would recommend calling to see which promotion you actually fall under.
As a side note, how are the Korean Air promotion miles distributed? Do they go right into my KE account? Or will they be in my US Bank account? To be honest the faster I can move away from the US Bank website, the better for me; it's really a pain to navigate.

If you're unsure, just call a CSR to double check your KE account number associated with your credit card. Your first statement will tell you that account number, and for me it took like 1 week-ish before the miles posted on my KE account.
For people saying that this is a weak offer, let me just say that KE has one of the best premium cabin availability for travel to Asia. It's also a partner with Chase, so that's why I've always grabbed these offers whenever I can.
