You can refer her to sign up for priority club if she isn't already a member.

The link is working! My husband had tried twice last week and Chase said their system was down and today he got instant approval, plus it showed up in his Chase online account already.

First statement closed. Got points for $790 in spending. No sign of the 80k yet. Status hasn't been upgraded to Platinum either.

I would have hoped the Platinum status would post automatically, since having the card gets you that regardless
It hasn't posted on my fathers account either...

Use the points for Pointbreaks, if and when available.

The devaluation blows, my favorite ICs went from 40k -> 50k and local HIX went from 25k -> 30k which is absurd for a motel. However I suppose this makes the annual free night cert more valuable.

Nope no minimum spending on this one.
My fathers 1st statement should be posting tomorrow. I was under the impression that it was 80k pts after $1000 spend in 3 month, but who knows.

I had this happen on one card. Called in and they assured me that it would show up - I was cynical and wasn't expecting it. But the next month when the statement closed the 80K points were right there.
On another account (a family member) the points showed up right on the 1st statement.

Very interesting. Did you use the link in this thread or did you go through another link?
