I love you guys!

Was kind of nervous jumping the gun on the 15K link and risking getting a rejection asking to get bumped up to 75K (via offer 5894), but the current 50% BA transfer bonus was just too good to not try...

Since no one was reporting full-on rejections yet, I decided to do it. I applied 8 days ago, was instantly approved, then received my card yesterday.

I called the MR line twice today and wasn't able to get the 75K offer attached to my account (one rep said I have to wait until I complete the spend of my original offer before he can even consider applying a different offer [?], and the other rep said that 5894 was targeted and I needed an invite code).

I decided to go through the secure messaging route and that worked on the first try! 60K immediately once I reach $500, and then the other 15K once I reach the original $1000 spend.

Thanks FT peeps!
