I currently hold an american express bonvoy card (the brilliant) so am I disqualified under 1? But wait why is the Brilliant listed separately under condition #3? Is the Marriott Bonvoy® American Express® Card a different card than the Brilliant or is it a category of cards aka any bonvoy amex card?
It sounds to me like because I have an AMEX bonvoy card open I can't get the signup bonus from Chase?
Yes, that seems to be the case. I was told I didn't qualify for the bonus because I already had an Amex Bonvoy card. But, in fact, I have an Amex Bonvoy Business card, which is not listed as one of the cards you can't have and still get the bonus. I called the reconsideration line and they said because I didn't apply for a card, they couldn't transfer me to anyone. I therefore applied for the Chase Bonvoy card before the current offer expired. I didn't get instant approval, but was told I would hear from them within 10 days. In the past, I've gotten this reply and got an approval. I'll them up once approved.
Also, I have question about the exclusion for getting a bonus in the last 24 months. Do they count from the day you got the bonus (which is at least at the end of the first billing cycle) or the date you applied for the card with the bonus?
