So basically, she said she will let me know what my offers are and if I don't accept it, she has to cancel the card regardless and I can't think about the offer.

I've done this phone call a few times and this is the first I've heard of this. I immediately said thank you and hung up. Has this happened to anyone else?
Never had that happen. Then again with all the changes going on it would not surprise me if they are using new tactics. I would call back and see what a different rep says. For all we know it could be one individual who is saying stuff like that to pressure people into retaining their card, but if a second person says the same thing then its likely to be a shift by Chase. What happens if they tell you they have no offers for you? I find it kind of absurd that they would pressure someone to make a decision right there on the spot.
