1. If I applied on Monday (11/28), could I still take advantage of the $300 travel credit in 2016 and 2017?
2. I'm seeing conflicting information, that the travel credit needs to post in 2016 vs. the travel credit needs to appear on the last statement in 2016. (So a pruchase made on 12/25 for instance but not appearing on a statement until January would count toward 2017).
3. How quickly would I need to make my travel purchases in order to be sure to get the full $300 credit?

Thanks!!!
There is NO conflicting information - it is clearly spelled out in the T&Cs right on Chase website.

If you want your credit to be counted in 2016, it needs to be on the statement that closes in 2016 with a date in 2016.

As to how quickly you want to make your purchase - well it depends on
1) when your statement closes - can you make the statement closes IN 2016.
2) how quickly the eligible transaction posts so it would be on the statement closes in 2016.

ALL such info are discussed [redacted] in this thread and the $300 credit thread.
