Frequently Asked Questions about Rapid Rewards Visa

1. What are the different card types?
non-business Plus, non-business Premier, business Plus, and business Premier.
Premier cards have a higher annual fee but give 6000 anniversary bonus points vs. 3000 points for the Plus cards. It is generally agreed that you will get the bonus for a new account if you have not had that particular type of RR Visa card before, but Chase appears to be in the process of changing their policies (see below).

Note that prior to RR-2.0, the two types of RR Visa cards were "Classic" ($29 to $39 annual fee) and "Signature" ($59 to $69 annual fee). Plus and Premier are new products for purposes of the (soon to be retired?) "One bonus per product" rule.

2. Is there a zero annual fee version?
No.

3. Can I "churn" these cards? How often can I reapply for the same type card and get the signup bonus?
The official rule has recently changed more than once. Closely check the T&C of your offer as different rules may apply to concurrently available offers. The Inflight offer linked above states:
This bonus offer is available to you as long as you have not received a new cardmember bonus for this product in the past twenty four months.
Referral offers have been seen with a limit of one individual and one business bonus per lifetime (although T&C read by the CSR taking the application differed from those printed on the referral offer).

Actual results sometimes differ from the official rule. People have reported receiving the bonus a second time on the same card type at various intervals even when the bonus was officially once per lifefime per product. Please post your results here.

As of mid-May 2015 Chase has cracked down on applicants who appear to have much less than average attachment to their cards. Specifically, more than 5 applications within the past 24 months is the approximate cutoff: Chase crackdown on churners: Please report your RR Visa approvals/denials here

4. Can I cancel the card and still collect the anniversary bonus?
Yes. Reasonable people disagree on whether this crosses the line of exploiting the card issuer. The anniversary bonus is described a reward for having been a cardmember for the past year, not as a reward for paying the next year's annual fee. Based on that description, the bonus has been earned even if you then cancel the card. As a practical matter, there is a window of only a couple weeks to accomplish this. The bonus points will post on the billing date of the statement containing your new annual fee, which will have posted earlier in the billing cycle. You have 30 days from posting of the annual fee to cancel the card and have the new fee refunded.

5. Does the annual fee count toward the spending threshold for the signup bonus?
No.

6. When will my signup bonus post to my Rapid Rewards account?
If you have met the spending threshold at least several days before your statement date, the bonus will normally post 2 days after your statement date, not when you actually spent the money! Cutting the timing or the spending amount too closely is not advisable. Mistakes can happen.

7. My statement shows sufficient purchases to meet the spending threshold. Why didn't I receive the bonus?
This can happen if you met the spending threshold just a few days before the statement date. It appears that accounts are flagged for meeting the spending threshold independently of the statement generation process and less frequently than daily.

8. How can I determine my statement date?
You should call Chase (phone number on back of card) to check your next statement date. Credit card companies are now required to have payments due on the same numerical day of each month, which means closing dates vary throughout the year. (Before reforms enacted after the financial crisis, RR Visa cards had constant closing dates rather than constant due dates.) The closing date should remain within the same small range unless you request a change of your payment due date. When you request a change, Chase normally can delay your next statement but cannot accelerate it. If you are unwisely taking the risk of cutting your timing too close, you should call Chase more than once to confirm your next statement date.

9. I accidentally crossed the spending threshold in December rather than January. Can I return a large purchase to bring my spending back below the threshold?
Unlikely. It appears that the sweep to check spending threshold does not un-flag an account previously flagged as meeting the threshold. It's not even clear whether the sweep counts returns at all. If you realize the error before the statement closes and you have a payment due date change available, you might be able to push the December closing date into January.

10. Can I apply for a credit card in my wife's name but my Rapid Rewards number, so that the points funnel into my account?
People have tried this. Some have succeeded. Others have reported that Chase closed the account and posted no Rapid Rewards points. Do you feel lucky? Programs can become very aggressive when they suspect members of defrauding the program by using non-matching names. When you game the system you are only on solid ground if you follow the rules to the letter. Breaking the rules means that the program can penalize you if they want to, and believe me: They want to.

11. Can I scam this system in any other way? I just had a clever idea.
There is nothing new under the sun here on FlyerTalk. If it relates to established program rules and it isn't discussed here you can be confident your idea will not work.

My first statement just closed, and it shows 50k miles, still waiting for them to post to my MP account, though.
I ended up getting approved for the 50K business premier, so I got that going for me. Might have to put off the companion pass plans for a few more months if the 50K personal gets denied.

Did anyone get the 50k to post yet.
I signed up. Spent about $2100 and only got $2100 points not the 50k bonus.
I normally get the bonus that same time the other points posts so any idea what is going on?
This is the first time I have gotten any southwest cards.

It was about a week before the statement ended. Statement Closed on 7th and I spent on the 2nd but did use it back in Jan as well.

My wife and I applied for two cards each back in December. On January 1st we spent $2,500 on all 4 cards. (we had large bill due so it was perfect timing.) on 3 cards, the 50k bonus got posted on the January statement, but on 1 card i only got 2,500 points for the spending. Emailed them and they said it can take several billing cycles to post. It posted just fine in February.

Looking for a working Southwest Business card link

Looks like I missed a working business card link by a day.

Anyone have a southwest business card link available that works.

thanks

I applied for a personal and a business card. Both applications were pending. I called for business and they just denied me. They say that the business is too new, low-income, etc. (I told them real numbers for business)
Personal application is still pending.
Is it worth it to call again for business or is over now?
I have a couple of Chase cards with good credit limits. Last one I opened about a year ago. I tried to tell her to transfer some of that CL on business card, but she did not want to do that.
Should I call again, or I am done for now?
This is my first card declined in the last 7-8 years

Update:

OK. I called again for the business card. It was like pulling teeth. Finally, they transfered CL from another credit card and I was approved.
Personal was piece of cake....transfer CL from another card...5 minutes..done!
I was afraid to ask for a bonus points. I'll ask with activation of the cards

Not sure about across, but they definitely matched the 50k for me that came out two days after I received my cards that had the 25k bonus.

So is this offer the same as the Airtran 32 credits from Chase?
