The card/account has appeared on my Chase On-line page but I’ve yet to receive it, expect it any day. I have no idea if they will give me the bonus.
(BTW, I had Chase personal UA cards for about 9 months in 2006, 2008 and 2009 and business UA cards in 2006 and 2009. I was approved for the 50000 UA card Oct 2010 and for the 30000 (later adjusted to 50000) Continental Card in Feb 2011.)
Key point. Chase can give you a card but deny you bonus if it deems the 2nd card is the same version of the old card. I had that happened to me on CO card in the past. However Chase is also good at giving bonus if the new card is deemed different enough from the old card. I got bonuses on different versions of UA cards in the past. I also got the 50K on the new version of CO card.
