1. You have received a bonus for a CO OP+ after 07/19/11, and/or

2. You have received a bonus previously for having a Chase UA Card prior to 07/19/2011 (regardless it is open or not).

AFAIK, your "6-month" rule does not exist.

The one that I know (that was used to in effect) is you can't get another bonus before 6 months.

Here is the added verbiage which seems to contradict the info the previous poster rec'd from Chase:

"This one-time bonus offer is only valid for first-time United MileagePlus Explorer cardmembers with new accounts. Previous and existing United Airlines cardmembers/accounts are not eligible for this bonus offer".
I said this again - don't trust the agent - read the actual T&Cs.

If you have to argue this in court, which one will be more acceptable?
