<yawn> Chase had already done 100,000 miles on a BAEC co-branded card, and American Express had done as high as 250,000 (targeted) for Business Platinum. We need not fear original thinking from Chase, they are the ultimate me too bank, and that's a very profitable strategy. I don't see why they would become risk takers.
Yawn, really? C'mon. My main point is clear: the CSR experienced enormous adoption upon its debut and that 4-year-old wave crest is coming back now. I'm not sure why you fixated on my flippant, historical aside about the CSR's 100k SUB. I thought the parenthesis would have made its um-importance to the main point abundantly clear. But, OK. Next time I'll bold the brackets.
