I also contacted Chase customer service several times via phone, and I enquired on whether there was a limit to the number of cards and the number of times you can receive the 25K offer for the Platinum Visa. I was told, " you are welcome to apply for as many cards as you would like, and you can receive this offer for each application, as we(Chase) know it is a great offer."
My point here is that this is a deceptive practice. You can not have your cake and eat it too. How many other people here on FT have applied for this card and had Chase reneg on the offer?
