Have you met the minimum spends on either the Saphhire or Bold? Offer to give up the one with the highest spend or one you haven't yet qualified for.
Yes, I did explain that I was targeted due to my soon-to-expire miles. I received both of the other Chase cards in mid-January. I am done with the spend on the Sapphire, but not on the Bold. I don't really want to give up either one. I think they are both terrific cards and planned to keep both, even paying the annual fee to do so.
