I had this card before, but I canceled it. I saw a great deal for signing up again, so I did. But I think I may have jumped the gun. I earned my last sign-up bonus (The 3rd of three that year) in Nov 2013. I see now that I qualify for the bonuses again if I have not received a new cardmember bonus for this card in the past 24 months. [...] Will I qualify? To be clear, this card has the deal where you get so many miles after spending one amount, and then a 2nd bonus for spending so much more, and a 3rd bonus for reaching a 3rd spend amount. So, I got the first two bonuses over 24 months ago, but that third one was about 22 months ago. |

AFAICT we have no data points on whether the 24-month clock starts with the initial bonus installment or with any subsequently earned tier bonus. Since this question has come up several times, I've added a note in the wiki reflecting the state of our current ignorance.
I'm hoping that I will at least qualify if it's 24 months between bonuses, rather than 24 months between last bonus and opening a new account. thank you. |

Data points about a year old. DW and I each had multiple stage bonuses for the BA card. Reapplied 2 years after the original sign up bonus, which in my case was only around a year after the annual renewal bonus. DW was more like 18 months from her last secondary spend bonus. We both got the full sign up bonus for our new cards.

I suppose you could call reconsideration but they will see that you've already talked to a rep. To anyone else considering applying for a Chase card, do NOT call when it says to call, let it work its way through.

Is there any issue with applying for the Southwest Premier and Plus cards same day? From what I read they don't fall into the 5/24 rule.

Question here: I applied on my wife's name for a Fairmont card and got the page where they asked me to call with a reference number. It's been almost a week and I haven't asked my wife to call them yet. Is there a chance they they want to reduce the credit line from other cards and move it over to Fairmont and more importantly, unless we call, they want approve the card. From what I have read here, the best strategy is not to call.

They key is whether the 24-month rule was in effect at that point. IIRC, it was. Am I right?

Applied for BA for my wife and got the message, "we received your application we'll let you know within 30 days", HPs is over 15 in 12 months, i have read that its not a good idea to call when you get a message to call them, is there any situation that it is a good idea to call these days, may be our situation?

I reapplied with the same info in my spouse's name with the same info and was approved by letting it work through the system. Thanks for the tip! Do you think there is any chance I would get approved myself if I reapplied and just let it work through the system?

Update on BA: Chase wrote back and said since I earned a bonus on 10/6/2013, I did not qualify. Yes, just one week from being 24 months. They looked up this info, because I did not supply it.
But I wrote back, and asked what if I don't earn the bonus before the 6th, creating 24 months between bonuses? Waiting on a reply. But this does answer the question. The 24-month clock starts with the last of the tiered bonuses, not with the initial bonus (unless you don't earn anymore). |
