Welcome to Flyertalk, galveston1602 and mrarmyant.

You have done the first step right by reading every piece of paper Chase gave you. What you have NOT done is read through at least some of the most recent posts. Your answers have been asked and answered, NOT buried in the middle of the thread, but just within 20 posts of your question.

At Flyertalk, we all ask questions and share information to gain insight to access cheap/free miles. All FTers, before asking questions, are also expected to read through the first and last dozen pages to familiarize with the deal. Search feature should also be used. Most often the same questions have been asked and answered, and if your case, numerous times. We expect all of us to put some efforts in the mileage-earning process.

Again, welcome to Flyertalk. As you learn to use FT, you will be amazed at how informative this is
