Well, I had applied for the Chase Freedom Card a couple months ago and received $200 in bonus points. I just sent them an email requesting an additional $100 in points to bump me up to $300 rewarded. I will let you know how that goes!
*EDIT*
I got an email saying they credited my account 10k points!

An image is attached as well if the link does not work. I was hoping you would honor my request to receive the additional reward increasing my total reward to $300.

Lots of mentions of getting the freedom card, than getting a UR card and transferring to points using it. Can the freedom or UR points be consolidated between spouses with the same address?
ie: wife gets freedom card, I get freedom card and UR, can we consolidate all into one?

great service
Not directly about the bonus, but an example of good service. I have two Chase Freedom cards and used both of them to max out the 5% (well 4% extra) points categories mainly for charitable giving in the last quarter. The last posted earlier this week and the bonus didn't post for the charity. I contacted UR, explaining that it was a charitable contribution and I had a copy of the tax receipt.
Within 3 hours I had a response explaining that the organization had coded itself as a membership organization and not a charity, but that Chase would award 1000 bonus points as a goodwill gesture (4 points bonus for a $250 contribution). And then went on with a full explanation of how merchants code themselves.
Well executed customer service -- I might think about opening a bank account with Chase if they served the DC area.

Looks like the $300 bonus deal was just revived recently (today?). Looks legit, though I already have the Freedom card so I won't be testing it out. Anyone can confirm the bonus after applying?

That's good news, but now I'm stumped at what to do.
I have the Sapphire Preferred (got it in December), and I want to eventually get the Freedom and the United Explorer card.
I was originally going to wait until about March and apply for the Freedom card next. Then the $300 bonus went away, and I did not want to apply for less.
So I looked to the United card, and some reports are that the current 50K offer is set to expire Jan 31st. So I was all set to apply to that card ahead of my original schedule, but now I need to decide which card to apply for.
So, which offer is more likely to be around (and still worth going after) in 6-8 months? After this next app I'm gonna want to take it easy for a bit!

Folks msp2msy sent me a link for the 30K offer. At first when I clicked it I saw a landing page that said 30K, however now the landing page does not come up:
