I called, & they said they no longer offer that card. I guess you just have to try different customer service reps.
Plus $2 per mile isn't very attractive.
=========
BUT!!!>>>>>>>>
I have the First USA World card. $50/year.
Yes, I know, they don't allow mileage accruing abilities for a specific airline, BUT it has NO BLACKOUT dates, AND they will pay for a ticket AT ANY PRICE, ON ANY AIRLINE when you use your points.
I paid for a cross country flight for the holidays last year. All prices on Expedia & Travelocity were $760+.
Well, the folks at First USA bought that ticket!!! All it cost me was 24,000 points.
I know that other points cards put $$$ caps, but not these guys! The $50 was definitely worth it.
P.S.>>>>>They seem to not be offering the card on their website. You have to call in.
PSS>>>>>First USA is NOT the greatest bank in the world. Disputes take a long time to work out--& you can have titanic clashes with them. This could make any benefits of the card not worth it.....almost. But heck, I would have had to pay $760 last year!!! I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
