I screwed up pretty good and signed up for the Chase United MileagePlus Explorer card and missed the 3 month window to spend $3k by about 3 weeks. I contacted Chase by private message and asked if I could get a short extension, and was told to find a fencepole to sit on.
My questions are:
- Is it even worth calling Chase and asking again?
- I could meet the minimum very quickly, I've just had a million things going on and this was way down my priority list.
- If there's no way to extend, how quickly could I churn the card and reapply?
- I don't actually play the credit card game—I only got this card as I switched my flying from AA to UA so needed a United credit card. I actually intended to keep it long term, but I'm certainly not going to do that without getting a bonus of some sort so I'm willing to do a bit of dancing if I need to.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
