Is there a minimum credit limit that you must be approved for to get the full points bonus?

In my experience, the AU never had to use the card to get the 5k bonus.

Just got my 55k points on my last statement. I called Chase and at the time my AU didn't use the card, Chase rep told me that i would be getting my 50k points but my AU needed to swipe in order to get the points. AU went and bought a pack of gum that same day, couple of days later statement reflected 55k

I got a letter that says "While reviewing your application, we noticed that you already have a United account. The last four digits of this existing account are xxxx."
Then further down it says that they'd "like to speak with you (me) to ensure that you (I) have the best credit card to meet your (my) needs". If I call them, what should I expect, and how should I proceed?
Thanks in advance.

Want to share my experience. I see the 50k banner in my UA account all the time, but each time I click, it goes to a 30k offer. What I did was:
1. Cleared all cookies
2. Switched to IE browser (I used Chrome almost exclusively before)
3. Log onto UA, click on 50k offer banner
4. Voila, there's the $50 application page. Although, apparently I have to spend $2000 in the first 3mo instead of $1000, oh well.
p.s. the $50 statement credit is no longer available right?

points not posting to United MP account after due date changed??
So I'm trying to book an upcoming award flight and needed points to post from my Ink Bold card, Sapphire card, and United Mileage Explorer card. About two weeks ago I requested my bill due date be changed to a date that was about two weeks in the future from the day I requested the change.
Those days have passed and my Sapphire card statement closed getting me the UR points on the statement. My United Explorer card didn't close on the date I thought I had requested, so I contacted Chase and they said it'd close Monday which it did. My statement told me I earned the points and they were transferred to my United account yet I don't see them posted yet.
Does anyone have any experience when changing the due date and seeing points post? I'm worried that they won't transfer until the original statement close date or worse until the next statement closes. Thanks in advance!

I had a similar situation where I wanted to move the statement date forward a few days to better accommodate a large recurring monthly payment (to make it easier to pay of the amount before the statement cuts each month). I requested the change on the closing date (this past sunday), assuming it would close and then the next statement would close on the new date. Instead, the account never closed this month so instead I will not have a bill this month. All fine by me since I don't need the points immediately, but I was a bit surprised.

Sometimes I am surprised my United points will take a few days to post. I would wait until tomorrow, then call to inquire.
