Yup - might make sense to update the original post with the $1000 minimum spend. Chase told me that also. Not a huge number, but important to know since there's no landing page.

Finally got the card. Papers indicate first purchase BUT email clearly states $1,000 spend requirement! Hmm...interesting! I guess I 'll knock off the $1k shortly and we shall see what happens...

Applied and received a pending decision. I called in immediately and was told nothing could be done as it was in processing. I proceeded to call a few more times the same day all getting the same response, as well as "sir you've already called several times today".
I guess they note the number of calls now? Anyone get an email whether being pending/denied/approved?

80,004 points posted today after a $2 charge at a grocery store. Also got Platinum status, though not sure if via points or credit card.

Does anyone know when the $1k min spend took effect?
amol: When did you apply for yours?
I think I can hold off for a few days & see if they post after wife used it a few times already. If not, she will have to stop at that friendly drug store down the street

I applied on November 19 (approved instantly), and didn't get the card for a while. When I made my purchase, it missed the December statement cut off by just a couple of hours, so I had to wait for the January statement.

Thanks Amol!
Anyone who applied the later part of December? Did you get the 80k after first purchase or had to do $1k?

DW applied 12/19. Approved on 12/20. Received the card last week and confirmed 1st Purchase = 80k points during activation.
