What's the consensus on getting the 2 club passes? Haven't received any info on them, though my points and statement credit have posted

Given they issued a $50 statement credit to you, it seems you do qualify for the 50K bonus.
When was your $56 charge made? Was it posted at least ONE WEEK before the 6/8 statement date?
Do you see any mile on your CARD STATEMENT? Or you just dont see it in your UA account? It makes a huge difference as where your problem of non-posting may lie.
Today is 7/3, statement is 7/8. It is too close to statement date to trigger any bonus if the first one did not trigger it. Chase cut off the processing of bonus about 1 week before statement closing date. Too many folks miss this often-mentioned fact and cut their qualifying purchases way too close to their statement dates...

If I add my wife as an authorized user to get 5000 additional bonus miles, can she later on apply for her own card and get all the bonus miles?

If you are an AU it shows in your credit report that you have this credit card and affects your credit score.

The $56 dollar charge was made about 5 days prior to the statement close date. I got the $56 on my statement and my UA account. When I activated they even told me that I was eligible for 50k and whatnot. I'm sure I will get the bonus with how good Chase is, was just curious on the post time of others people. I'll see what this statement brings.
Thanks
Thanks

I just did this very thing. I got my card 2 months ago, added hubby, got 5K points. He applied for and received his own card. I dropped him from mine as AU. He will add me to his as AU and get the extra 5K points. Once they post, he will drop me off his card.

Actually in the past it helps the AU's score if the Primary has a better one than the AU. It was being used as a loophole to boost people's scores by some shady practices. Such "benefits" have been corrected by the reporting agencies.
Being an AU now literally has no effect on the AU's own score or history.

However, it does NOT affect the FICO for being an AU - because the data does not even come into the FICO calculation when it is AU.

Got this card a couple months ago and just called up to cancel it since I truthfully only got it for the miles (lets be honest isn't that the only reason for a card?). The man on the phone informed me that if it was cancelled within 6 months they could go into my account and retrieve the points.... oops did I call to cancel the card I meant to call to ask about uhhh.... benefits....

(the point being - there is a difference between an automated review and a manual review, especially if the reviewer is not an expert)
