So - - up until this point I thought this was simply a word of mouth promotion that was done over the phone. I called and set up my account earlier this week, however I just got an email from chase inviting me to the card (this was with a separate email account than the one I gave Chase for the united promotion). Here is what it said:
We are pleased to extend this invitation-only offer to you. Apply for a Mileage Plus® Visa® by Chase and take advantage of our biggest bonus mile promotion of the year. You'll earn 50,000 bonus miles - enough for two free roundtrip tickets within the continental U.S. - after you spend your first $250.
And for a limited time, we'll waive the $60 first-year annual fee. That's a Plus.
Take the fastest route to travel rewards
Pay for everyday purchases with a Mileage Plus Visa. The miles you earn can be used for award travel on United® and our airline partners, or for hotel stays, car rentals and brand-name merchandise too.
Earn 1 mile for every $1 you spend4
Earn miles for every purchase4
Earn as many miles as you can - there's no limit!
