Need Help
I guess I am one of the unlucky ones.
Only get the 30k + 5k offer, no 50k nor $50 credit.
SM Chase yesterday and got a response this morning telling me that the 50k offer is for target customer ONLY. I can get that extra 20k if I receive solicit within 90 days plus I have to provide them a copy of the new offer letter. Haven't email them about the $50 credit yet.
Feel very unappreciated, especially for being a long-time Chase customer. Anyone has any idea on how to resolve this? Or should I just cancel the stupid card once and for all.
Thanks for your input on this.

Just applied for 50k but. Apparently was approved for the United Visa Platinum with only. $2k limit

Will I get the bonus points? Also down the road could I get the Explorer and get the bonus?

Unless you really want the explorer card for its benefits, not just the bonus, you can leave it like that.
Or you can call Chase to ask if they can move some of the 22K from BA card to the UA card and put it back to the Explorer which is a Visa Signature with a minimum $5K credit line needed.

two questions for y'all:
if i do this offer, and add an authorized user (my fiancee), can she then do this offer and add an authorized user (me)?
also, does the MP account have to match the name on the CC? (i.e. can we do two offers in one account for 120K?)

1. Yes, no problem at all.
2. You can't funnel multiple offers into one account. This offer prefills your existing UA MP number. If you need more UA miles, pick up an Ink card.

hi guys
So I was looking at the language of the annual 25k spent bonus and initially I was disappointed since I only had 3 months to meet 25k....
then I realized I can turn around and spend 25k at the beginning of the year and get another bonus before the annual fee is due!
I assume this is true?

Yes, aeneas3, you can get the bonus twice if you meet the spend requirements. This actually works for all the cards... the Amex, the BA companion pass, etc. They are based on a calendar year. It does not work for any card that have bonuses which post "at renewal", such as the statement credit for the Citi AA cards or points bonuses that happen at renewal.
