However... if you already had a SkyMiles check card, you should have received the enrollment bonus the first time you used your SkyMiles Visa Check Card for a signature-based purchase. I'm rather doubtful that you will receive it again.
My 2 new MC ones also recently showed up, Business & World, the inserts are branded w MasterCard logos and mention the first purchase bonus miles (5,000 for each). Well not really an insert, but the page that the cards were stuck to for mailing, if that makes sense. I asked a guy at my local SunTrust branch and he said yes, you do get the bonus, even if you got it with the Visa-branded card. My first purchases just posted, late as compared to earlier SunTrust timeline, with no bonus. So we'll see.
