Chase Airtran CC to Chase Southwest CC
Just received a letter about Chase replacing my Airtran CC with the Southwest RR Plus CC. Is it worth it to apply for the Southwest CC special offer offering 50,000 RR points for spending $2,000 before the automatic issuance or is the issuance already in the works? If the latter, would it be reasonable to request Chase match the special offer for Southwest RR points? Thank you.
