I called on Friday the 16th and it took about 20 minutes.. was approved despite having a United Chase Business card (but I never told them that shh) and was auto approved.. I confirmed that it was the 50K mileage bonus.. and that it was FIRST purchase despite the amount.. first year fee waived YAY ^
Since it is free the first year i'll keep it and just pray/hope I get the bnous miles despite having another card already..
