Great value card even after devaluation. Stayed in Crown Plaza - The City (London)past week. Just access to lounge is well worth it.

Had mine back in 2007, canceled in 2008. Thinking about giving it another run. Maybe leave PC number blank. Tried that with 100k BA after a year (or maybe two) but no dice....#tempting

I've read of folks having success getting the bonus again when the interval between cards was long. No guarantees of course, but Chase probably won't look back five years.

You met your spend too close to the statement closing date. The points would have posted if you had met the spend 7-10 days before closing date. This is common for Chase bonus.

I canceled my Priority Club card in January 2011; reapplied in November 2012; received the bonus again. (If anyone has applied/will apply again, please report back what success you had for the benefit of others. My case may well not be typical.)
Regarding Chase looking back in their records, this is odd: I wanted to know what type of Sapphire card (Visa or M/C) I had had (I canceled it about a year ago and plan to apply for the other version - i.e., if I had had a Visa I'll then apply for the M/C version next time). I called Chase to inquire about this and was told that they had no record of my having had any Sapphire card.

Did you use the same Priority Club account for both cards, and did you receive the exact same bonuses (e.g. 80000 points and 80000 points) each time you got the card?

Fwiw, my sister cancelled this card back in June, '12 and since her new job has her staying at CP a lot, she applied again in Jan, '13 and was approved. Her original intent was not to churn but use it for her work stays and she was approved again for the card within 6 months.
Update to the original post since people are interested in this data point-
My sister did get the bonus 80K points again....
ETA- Same PC # used in both apps.

Question: does the 10% reward rebate apply for Cash&Point redemptions?
For example, at a 15,000 points hotel you have the option to do 5,000 points + $70. This transaction appears as buying 10,000 points and redeeming 15,000 points.
In this example will I get back 1,500 points, 500 points, or nothing?

I called and got it approved through reconsideration, but it still says pending when I call in?
I called again he said the rewards need to be set up through priority club, could that be- I did put in my Priority Club#?

Can anyone remind me if the card needs to be activated prior to making a reservation or just prior to stay in order to qualify for rebate?
