Buyer Beware!
A relative signed up for the card with the 50K miles bonus at his local Chase Bank. Upon receipt of the card & before activation, he read all the "fine print", etc.which was in the envelope. Nowhere is the bonus stated! So he will call Chase customer service to try to get the bonus offer confirmed in writing.
(As an alternative, the AA credit card is now being offered with the 50K bonus after $2000 spend (within 3 months).
Chase Customer service has advised that following activation of the card, he will receive a letter within 4 weeks which will state that he is not eligible for the 50K miles bonus if he had cancelled a previous card within the last 24 months! Thus he will not activate but go with the AA offer.
