I got an inkling that there may be a change to this deal over the weekend. Unfortunately, given that this is such a good deal (on my blog, Free Travel Genius, I rate it the #1 bonus available if you primarily fly domestic), I am worried it may get worse. Anyway, it could be a false alarm, but if anyone has been procrastinating without a reason, I would recommend applying for it today or tomorrow.
I now feel more motivated to call chase to check on my wife's application. It's been a while since Chase has given us an instant approval, I feel like I need their reconsideration line on speed dial.
