Chase Is Relentless
 

Between E mail & snail mail I must get at least 2 dozen Chase offers

each week with every imagineable variation on the same theme

It reminds me of Mickey as the Sorcerer's Apprentice & the brooms

Is there no way of getting them to stop

UACO clearly has an unholy arrangement with them

You would think they wanted to limit the number of solicitations going to the same MP member to, oh I don't know, one every 4 weeks maybe. Instead, I seem to be getting 4 per week.

Unsubscribe. Hard I know.

I got 2 a day from Capital One, for weeks on end at one point, one addressed to myself and one addressed to "CURRENT RESIDENT" :P I opted out of all credit solicitations, and it stopped. Then I opted back in (I couldn't help myself) and they've yet to bother me. It's down to one every few weeks.

I get one or two per week and my wife used to get one a month, which is up to one a week now that she made Silver.

Nevermind both of us got denied when we tried to apply for any of the cards they solicit us for. The invitations to apply and get denied again just keep on coming.

I agree here. I have the CO and Marriott Chase cards and now my parents (my billing address is still home) receive offers for both at least weekly.

My 6 year old gets Explorer card solicitations every month :)

The worst part is that I get a zillion solicitiations a week telling me to apply for the credit card, but every time I actually apply for the credit card they knock me back on the grounds of not having a sufficient (US) credit history.

Start him churning now...

I haven't heard from them since I terminated my CO card, with prejudice. Hope to never hear from them again.

I wonder if it's my lack of status at either that keeps me from receiving any offers.

Wait, wait, wait...how do you opt back in??? I opted out a while ago, foolishly, and now I want some of these mailed offers...

Well, they are annoying, but in the last few weeks I got an offer for Freedom Visa with a $300 sign up bonus, and then an offer for Sapphire with a $500 sign up bonus. (I ordered both)

I just got another Sapphire preferred offer with a $500 bonus, but I don't think I will do that one...

But the $800 bucks for doing nothing was a nice little perk.

Unlikely
 

Remember the old adage "No Free Lunch"

None of them will give out cold hard cash with no indebtedness

Read ALL the fine print

Now I'm glad I'm with AA....

Same way you opted out in the first place =) The FTC recommends optoutprescreen.com (where you can choose to Opt In as well) or by calling 1-888-5-OPTOUT.

I read it several times. Can't see a thing that makes the $500 and $300 "not free". Is there something you know that I don't? YOur statement above "none of them will give out cold hard cash..." seems to be FALSE in this case.

Not Likely
 

Try to take the money & run

Then you will see what your obligations are

I just tear them all up:)

Instead of being so circular, could you kindly please tell me specifically what you know of the vicissitudes of signing up with Chase for the 30K and 50K rewards points, respectively. Thank you!!

Many Variations
 

Each of the many offers comes with it's own obligations

Many bonuses occur on anniversary dates after annual fees

Many bonuses have severe restrictions

You 1st talked about cash & now only points

Big difference

With all due respect Chic, I think you're showing a skepticism, not any facts. Sometimes things do work out surprisingly well. (I was as pleasantly surprised as anyone) The Chase Points convert instantly to cash, my 30K points were changed to a $300 deposit right into my checking account, and when I get the 50k points I will turn them into $500 just as quickly. There are no annual fees on either the Freedom nor Sapphire (regular) card. So basically these bonuses were to put the card in my hand, with no apparent drawback to me.

Please be specific if you have hands-on information, but in this case, there are no paybacks to these bonuses other than having another Visa card to use. (or not use)

Mine too.
You'd think if they have his name, email and FF# they would crosscheck with birthdate.

I once applied in his name just to see what would happen, but got turned down :(
