DP on the $70k unlock:

Looks like it was unlocked for everyone last Thurseday per the official Chase guy on Reddit, so no more waiting until statement cycle. Some people on Reddit reported getting the unlock even though they had only hit $50k or $60k in spend, and were speculating maybe it's prorated. Anyways, my DPs:

- Unlocked with a "congrats" confetti in the app on Oct 30
- Activated IHG and received diamond within minutes
- Activated SWA A-list, got confirmation of activation, still waiting 5 days later with no sign of A-list
- "The shops" was a pleasant surprise to me. Who knows about the prices there but "here's $250 pick something out" seemed nice. There was AirPods Pro 3 for $250, for example. Lots of cooking stuff. I picked out Oakley sunglasses for free, so happy with that. Credit posted 2 business days after purchase.
- Haven't used SWA $500 credit via chase portal
