Have you folks received your emails yet? It's been 3 weeks since launch and I haven't yet either.
I was thinking I'll apply for it w/o the email, get the SUB, and if the bonus doesn't appear within the terms (8 weeks from approval), I'll try reaching out requesting it...

Yes, Aeroplan pushes me to Chase and Chase pushes me to Aeroplan. I even managed to find a Chase Aeroplan number, but cannot get anything from them without a card. The closest I got was a rep looking into it and simply suggesting I wait...

Not sure what created the small group of unlucky people but tend to agree if you’re in a hurry to get started or have some big up coming purchases, applying now and fighting for your bonus later may be the best option. However, you are taking a risk as the terms of the bonus do explicitly say that you must use the link they send to receive the bonus.
To qualify for the bonus points offered, an eligible application for the Card must be received by by no later than February 15, 2022 through the application link provided in the waitlist email.

Sorry you’re getting the run around. everything I see tells me that is coming from Aeroplan and their issue to fix. The original signup offer, the validation of registration and the request to apply now all came from an Aeroplan email address. Following up with chase is not going to get you anywhere.

Another FT'er in a similar position as me went ahead and actually clicked through the original waitlist email (i.e. thanks for signing up for the waitlist) and applied through there. His rationale was that the language in the T&C you quoted is vague enough that he did just that, but just not with the email invitation sent around on the 2nd
I applied through the waitlist email. Like they told me to.

I looked at the waitlist email and there is a link which takes me to here basically:

Merry Christmas! From a free checked bags perk standpoint, this isn't bad for its annual fee if anyone does two or more RT checked bag flights per 12 months... unless there is another existing aeroplan ccard w/ a lower annual fee?
As has been since written up in various websites, this new Chase card 'years in the making' the signup bonus w/ the two 50k pt vouchers is kinda meh, depending on how you will be using them. I'm in the meh category, I don't think I will even chase it w/ my spending in the first 3 months of opening the card.

Well the difference w/ these vouchers as I understand it is.... they are 50K miles each but it's up to you to apply them to a RT flight worthy enough to use them. If you only have a medium or short RT flight in your plans, the voucher doesn't let you keep a remaining balance until you exhaust the miles.

These certs are best used for long haul premium cabins in terms of value, as you've correctly identified that if you use it for a cheaper economy award ticket that's less than 50K, you forfeit the difference in potential value had you redeemed it for an award 50K+.
This is of course, ignoring some of the crazy dynamic award costs on AC metal, and any sort of personal inflexibility.

I took at look at some card details, good to see the vouchers do not expire so long as you keep the card
with a RT flight as short as say montreal to ny and back being about $450 (usd) since september on AC, using even these two vouchers saves you 900$
- Each of the two 50,000 Welcome Flight Rewards can be applied toward a single passenger Aeroplan redemption.
- This can be in any cabin and for any redemption amount.
- A top-up of extra points needed is allowed. (i.e., If you had a 65,000-point itinerary, you could apply a 50,000 Welcome Flight Reward and top up the remaining 15,000-point difference.)
- You don’t get your points back if you redeem the certificate for an itinerary of fewer than 50,000 points.
- The rewards don’t expire as long as you have the card.

This is my first Chase points card in several years. First statement closed and I paid in full. Odd that I did not see the annual fee billed. How quickly should I expect to see the points from the first statement post as well as the SUB?
