Applied and was approved last month.
Today submitted an app for my wife (Exp. 756) who already has chase UA and CSP. She got the "under review 30 days" message.
I know she can call the recon line but has anyone ever tried doing it through sm? Any luck? Good or bad? Thanks

Why risk it? If she has a good history with Chase, she shouldn't have any problem getting approved for the card (though she might need to move CLs around). We all know it works through the phone number, so I would suggest going that route. Odds are, the people looking at SMs don't have the authority to approve applications.

A friend applied for this using the link in first post on Wednesday as part of an AOR. Got a pending status since it's the last app on the list (behind the also-pending SP card). Was planning to call recon this wkd but she saw it pops up on the online account today (Fri). Nice! Will confirm the bonus when activating the card.

How long after getting approved for the card do people get the points posted? I have a trip planned for July 4th weekend and I want to book an Intercontinental. If I were to apply for the card and get approved by Monday (and I can complete the spending requirements within 1 week or two), do you guys think i can get the points in before July comes?

Assuming you have the $1000 posted and your statement closes, you will get the points (and usually status) the following business day. However, if you don't make the requirements in time, you will need to wait until the following month. In other words, points/status only post the day (or so) after the statement ends, and usually right after.

Got my credit card started my spend after I confirmed that it will be 80K after I meet the spend.
Wish they provided the credit score when you get the CC in the mail.

I was approved for the card on April 22. I noticed last week the 80K miles are already posted to my account. Great deal!

What is the concensus on churning time period? I am on my second card (received the 60K bonus) for 2 years now (just got my second VISA free-night cert notice). Do I need to wait 6 months or more after cancellation before applying again?
Also, what will happen to my free night cert if I cancel my card?

Just got approved over the phone and was able to confirm 80k for $1k spend in 3 months. Perfect!
