I do not see any button or window about online chat? We actually have several C1 banking accounts and always go to Online Banking by Capitalone.com
But I do not see a Chat Window.

Does anyone think I'm too late in applying for this at this point? I just realized I had 120k miles with CO from the December statement that is all spent as of now. I've watched this thread since opening but I'm divided down the middle. I'm confident I'll be approved. Not sure about the timeliness at this point.

BTW, great news on being able to redeem for gift cards at $1 per 100 pts at places like Walmart and Exxon.

why $1500? It should be $1100. Does Amex still have +50% bonus with MQM miles, I did it last year don't see it being current now. If you wanted to get Amex Plat anyway, yes, it's a good deal
75000 Delta skymiles = $750
75000 Capital One points = $750
So total is $1500.
50% bonus with MQM miles is only for first time AMEX points transfer.

I did a "chat" tonight and the gentleman told me that I could indeed get the 100K offer on the Business card if I qualified for it & if I was approved. So the Business card "match" looks real.

Bring up the chat window on the application page and ask if the miles are reserved when you are approved. I was told by the CSR that 100K miles are reserved for you from once you are approved, then you have to send in the statement and spend $1K in the 90 day period after APPROVAL not when the card arrives.
It makes sense as Can you imagine the PR nightmare they would have if people signed up under the 100K offer and spent the 1K and then were told "tough luck , we're out of miles"

Just go to their site, capitalone.com and start looking at all the different credit cards and eventually a "chat" window will pop up. But, be aware that what these folks tell you "may" not be fact.

One can always try to game the system, but officially, no you can't. If you have any considerable number of miles on other cards/programs, even less than 100K I would use it.

Can one use google doc to upload the statement?
I learned about this thing very late upon our return of a Hawaii trip which we were met with Tsunami...
We are leaving for a 6 weeks trip on April 3rd and would come home May 12.
Hoping to beat the time before our departure, I applied on March 18. Hind sight I should have waited till now or even March 31 - April 1st to apply.
In comparison, the CO 50K card applied a day before this C1 card showed up in my Chase Online account 2 days after submission.
The C1 T&Cs envelop finally came today with Mar 26 date.
Called the status line and had the initial Philippines based rep transferred me to the US based agent. He told me the card was approved on March 24 so the 45 days clock started to tick. He gave me the CC number over the phone but was unable to give me the access code as it hasn't been generated yet. The only advice is to call back every day to see if the access code is generated between now and April 2nd.
Otherwise I would need to check my email account for the email to get that.
Since the Fax Number is an 1-800 number, it would not work from outside US. This leaves me the Upload or Snail Mail. I would do both just to make sure.
I made a PDF file of my AA statement and uploaded to Google Doc in my gmail account. I also would copy it to a USB drive to bring with me on the trip.
The first 15 days of our trip is on a cruise ship. I am not sure the Net Cafe on the ship would allow me to use USB to upload file.
I wonder if one can upload a Google Doc to other site, like in this process?

Technically, you can not do this.
You could get Venture acceptance, the code #, tell them you will match DL miles, then you are in the que. Apply for Amex Plat and xfr 50K to DL and get the bonus. Use this as a match. (I was able to get Venture credit for DL miles received this way).
It's a stretch, timewise, but might work.

Now that Amex Platinum is an excellent offer all in itself is another matter...

OK, this thread has gotten really huge so I apologize in advance if this question has been answered already. I did try a search but to no avail so here goes.
Are the miles to be matched ONLY from credit card spend? I have 50K bonus miles that I received on Chase Continental. Do they count?
Or, I have 100K miles that I purchased from US Air on Mastercard. I understand that what I paid for the miles would count but what about the 100K miles?
Thanks.

FT and MP both desperately need a Wiki like SD.

AmEx Platinum allows you to "borrow" (usually 50K) MR points usually immediately.

For the Business Venture, did you also put the business as rental property?

My 3-in-1 credit report shows only 1 pull on each of the bureaus. Also, I got approved for the biz. So 3 pulls for 2 cards worth $1100 each in travel credit (if it works our right), not bad.
