I doubt I'll even get the card by Wednesday. I was approved today (Friday).

There's a 99.99% chance you won't get your card in time to get the 2014 airline credit. Most likely would've been best off applying on say...january 8th or a bit later, cause then you could double dip your airline redemption in january 2016 before your second annual fee hit.
That is if you intend on cancelling the card after year one. If you plan on keeping it then you just need to play the waiting game.

I'm in the same situation (applied and got instant approval on Friday). I didn't want to apply before because I had already gotten 3 Chase cards in the past 90 days :/

Best case they take into account the purchase date to determine the benefit year (as opposed to the posted date or the request date) and I'll get my 2014 reimbursement. Worse case I'll use my 2015 reimbursement, which I don't mind at all.

I will definitely try this if I can get my 2014 reimbursement. I have two other cards with an AF that I intend to keep so hopefully Chase won't mind too much, however if that's your only Chase card with an AF I wouldn't necessarily recommend doing this as Chase is the last bank I would want to burn bridges with.

Just charged 3x $100 Southwest giftcards yesterday and today. Hoping they'll resolve (still pending) before 12/31, then I'll call on 12/31 to get them reimbursed. Going to be tight!
Does anyone know if the reimbursement has to happen in 2014, as well? Or simply the charges have to post by 12/31/14?

I assume if you cancel this card you immediately lose Gold status?

Has anyone ever tried to double dip (Dec $300 credit/Jan $300 credit), meet spend really quick, get points, and then cancel card within the 30 days after annual fee hit to get that credited back as well?

2) They won't credit you for a $300 charge without a receipt. They required one on a $300 upgrade fee on Delta. Better to do a bunch of $50 charges.
3) Ignoring that you want 140k points and $600 for free...No, there is not.

12/20 applied online and was accepted immediately
12/27 received the card in the mail
12/27 bought gift cards on southwest - $180, $75, $75 so we'll see if they'll do $150 + $75 + $75 = $300
