That is the key. I remember I had churned the Marriott card a couple of years ago because I had got an email from them but when I applied the bonus night or points didn't come through.

Will do. She didn't apply again for points as she really wanted the card for her numerous CP stays and Platinum status...so, I don't think she will be too disappointed if she doesn't get the bonus again. Fwiw, she did get an email from PC to apply for the card to get 80K points, but I'm sure that's irrelevant in Chase issuing the bonus again. I'll have her call Chase and see if they have the offer attached to her app....the statement closes later this month.

Got approved on phone but the rep couldn't confirm the bonus points offer. She took lot of time to find that out. She than says it is 60k for which I replied 80k. She says she saw this on chase website. I applied for it only over 2 hours ago so maybe this is why they can't tell me the bonus points offer?

My mother applied using the 80k link about a week ago. She called in after approval and the CSR told her the 80k offer had expired and that she would be receiving 60K.

Why did she call if her app. had been approved? It's possible that she still might get the 80K.

Sounded like she wanted to confirm the actual number of points she would receive. I got the impression that either her application redirected to a 60,000 offer or it gave no indication at all as to how many she would receive. In any event, she called, they told her 60,000 points, she told the CSR her application was from a link advertising 80,000 (she even referenced Flyertalk, I think). The CSR said that the 80,000 was no longer available. My mother is not the type to argue so she accepted this as fact and ended the conversation.

I can confirm it is 80k. I found that out today when I called about it.

I still haven't received it though. During my first approval call, rep took couple of minutes to check and than told me he can't see any bonus points offer other than base points earned on purchases and says it shows 60k but told me she saw it on chase's site and she can't see the 80k offer yet because the application is still new.

The offer will always attached to the app if she applied thru the link - but as others have already mentioned - the award of the bonus is a different process which in Chase practice, goes thru another screening to determine the applicant has gotten the bonus before or not, regardless the offer is attached to the application.

This card is a bit lenient than the Marriott / United card in the past for such matter.

So she may well get the bonus again but it has nothing to do with what the CSR would confirm - they always would confirm positive if you applied thru the link but they would not know how the "screening" would process until after the fact - either you get it or you dont, and when you dont, Chase has very good reason to tell so why.

Happy

This should be a No No.

Dont do that in the future.

I fear she may have clicked the wrong link on the first page. I told her to click the 80,000 link but there are three or four various other links in the first post and some of them direct to different pages. She says she watched a video and and then it directed her to a page mentioning 60,000 miles. That is why she called. In the end I think she is happy to get 60,000 points, let alone 80,000.

Dvike

The same thought ran through my head when she told me that. I never bothered to mention to her proper protocol considering she is not wise in the ways of Flyertalk. I just forwarded her the link and let her do her worst. The CSR did admit to knowing all about Flyertalk, interestingly enough.

Congrats CDA.
Did you use the actual link in the very first post #1 of this thread going back to 2011?

Or did you use a different link?

If it was the very first one, he lists a URL address but then says that takes you the the "Application Page" which is also a live link. Which did you click on? Thanks so much

Are people getting 80K or 60K out of the link in post # 1 now. Thanks

Used the link on post #1 for mum's application last week, was told 80k bonus points after 1k spend upon activation.

mintcilantro

I had applied using the link in post #1 in Dec. My 80k points just posted after $1000 min spend.
