They may let you slide a little longer because of ignorance, but the fees and requirements of all these checking accounts are changing.
The 5 swipes a month will not work anymore!! Like I said if you dont believe me, call your banker and ask if there are changes.
I applaud chase for this program, my wife and I are going first class to Hawaii thanks to it.
Hopefully they will have another good miles offer later this year after CO/UA merge thier programs and promotions.
It will NOT work for the Premier Accounts but will still work with the Classic Accounts per the rules on Chase.com.
I have not received any mailing by neither snail mails nor emails nor online notice. But I will call the banker to find out and ask for a downgrade to the Classic because ours have not reached 6 months age yet - need 2 more months. I dont want to risk the forfeiture of bonus as all new wordings on the UA checking account have that 6 months language. Better safe than sorry and fight with Chase later should it pulls the miles due to account closure before 6 months mark.
I also sent secured emails last night but haven't got any clarification yet. Placed a call to the banker who would call back in an hour. Will report back what I find out.
