Your best source of info is right in front of you, your fellow FTers.
Calling can only cause problems and, probably, get you incorrect info from the poor front line phone rep who knows nothing about the marketing dept.'s offers and rules.
NEVER call.@:-)
I disagree. It depends. In cases where everyone one is saying an expired link works and they are getting miles, then of course dont call and ask. In cases such as this card where people are getting mixed results, then it might be best to call. I called myself, explained I had a Chased United card earlier and that the terms are unclear. The terms say the offer is good for first time Explorer members, but the very next sentence states that previous Chase United card members are not eligible. While holding 3 Chase cards already, I did not want to waste an application, so I called. The rep told me I am definitely eligible, since they are even giving that card and the bonus to members who currently hold a different Chase United card.
Redelmo, this is not the Sapphire card, it's the United Explorer card.
