But I made a purchase on United.com with my platinum Visa for $130 which should give me the 62 EQMs I need to get premiere. They say that the miles should post 6-8 weeks after the statement closes. 8 weeks from the date that the statement closes will be Jan 2nd, so if I don't see them on there by about Dec 20th, I'll contact Chase and if they aren't there by Dec 31st, I'll likely just trade in some choices.
Actually, even if you miss the 12/31 deadline, call MP in 2007 and show them the #s; you should be rewarded for having traveled so many miles in 2006 and for having the card. They will likely retro-credit you for the 62 EQM to have effect in 2006. They are good that way.
