I have consistently charged taxes each quarter, but only up to the bonus cap -- never over the cap. I pay off the card in full each month, so I never carry a balance. Nothing stands out in my mind as to why I should have been targeted.
I seem to remember receiving other Chase bonus offers (extra miles for purchases over a certain amount at department stores, etc.), but I don't know if that was unusual.
