If Chase, BoA, Citi, etc. offered this option on their cards I would certainly take advantage as it would mean 10s of thousands of points just for the applications that I currently do for my wife/family. Has a serious request been made of other companies to offer something similar?
Every time I have discussed this with chase reps they say that they have discussed this idea and may implement it in the future but not at this time. This has been going on for a few years, I dont think they will ever do it. They certainly wont do it if the majority of people are using it to refer their family members that they would have signed up for the card anyway.
