3. Rejected by snail mail because I was "not solicited for the offer".
4. Sent an SM saying that I understand that I was not solicited for the offer, but hoping for a one-time courtesy.
5. Rejected by snail mail with cut-and-paste "not solicited for this offer" language. Following that, there was a one-line paragraph that said "the 75,000 mile offer is for business accounts" (emphasis mine)
6. Requested a match to 65k by chat, saying that I knew that there were 65k personal offers
7. Agent said he would put the request in
8. Statement closed today; 15k bonus miles are on it. Note that I haven't met the minimum spend for this card yet (I have another month or so to finish it)

I have another card in a similar situation; currently at step 3. I'm going to skip straight to chat. I'm just going to ask for 65k.

If 65k per personal card is the new normal, I'm totally fine with that. It's a slight adjustment of expectations but still a good deal. And who knows what new offers will come out later.

My current mailers are 65k, so I guess I won't be making any more match requests for a while.

If someone manages a match on a personal card to > 65k, please post the data point here!
