Attempting the Triple-Play
My summary of what people have learned to date:
1. If you are an existing account holder, first call and try to get a supervisor to give you an exemption from the "New Accounts only" rule for the AA or UA promo. You will have to deposit the entire $100K.
2. New accounts and people with exemptions: Apply for the AA or UA promo first.
3. Deposit $100K. (If new customer, you can deposit/withdraw, rinse/repeat, using $10K-$50K increments).
4. You should receive 50K AA/UA miles Sunday morning if deposits completed by Thursday night.
5. Register for Delta promo after receiving AA/UA miles. Ignore email about opening account.
6. You should receive 50K Delta miles on Saturday morning. The wait is to ensure that you get the AA/UA points, which are only for new customers and are generally more valuable than Sky Pesos.
[Very little data on the following]
7. Withdraw funds.
8. Register for MR Promo.
9. Re-deposit $100K.
10. You should receive 50K MR points on Monday morning a week-and-a-half after deposits completed by Thursday night.
A number of people have gotten "ineligible" emails when registering for the MR promo. Those who succeeded in getting MR plus something else often completed the first promo a couple of months prior to attempting the MR promo. This may have something to so with waiting a month or two. It may be due to problems with changing the MR promo from new customers only to new and existing customers. It may have to do with something else entirely.
Did I miss anything, or misstate anything?
