I'm way over 5/24 and want to apply to IHG card (because the 70K offer expires today and I'm afraid it will join 5/24) together w/ United (since it supposed to result in one hard pull) Do I have a chance? I've been "targeted" by united for 50K snail mail and see only 50K in my account. I don't think Chase "knows" that I was targeted by United. I have my only checking account w/ Chase for many years but never got preapproved offers from chase (and I'm opted in for receiving such offers). I have Southwest cards from Chase and Ink plus. Can you suggest if I should apply to some Chase cards? Thanks very much!

People have very limited success getting two approved on the same day. But higher chance avoiding 5/24 with targeted snail mail offer, if you have some sort of offer code. I'd apply for IHG first since 5/24 does not apply, and then try the targeted mailer and hope you are preapproved.

Actually there is evidence that these mailers are not leading to approvals if you are over 5/24.

hello, and sorry if this has been discussed recently.

has anyone had success being matched to the 70k+5 offer from recently being approved for the 50k+5 offer? The response from chase is it cannot be matched as one offer (70k) charges and AF but the 50 k offer does not.

I have called and dm'ed them and no dice. I have been a bit peeved as I have received the 70k offer in the mail about every 2 weeks the past 6 weeks a full 10 weeks after having been approved for the 50k offer. Obviously, I cannot use this 70k offer as I have already have the card at 50k and am not eligible. I have raised the issue with chase and they blame UA for not knowing I have the card (they do, i have xn space). Either way i find it to be poor taste to send offers(chase, ua, either) to people that are not eligible to receive them, especially BETTER offers after I had a "limited time offer" that apparently cannot be matched.

what is chase doing? as a customer I will remain peeved and think about that every time i use a credit card for NBS.

Has anyone had their miles post yet after successfully hitting the spend requirement? I just hit my spend requirement yesterday.

I agree. I wasn't mailed the offer, but it shows up in my United account even though United's systems clearly know I have the card (I see the extra saver availability, get the higher rates on United shopping portal, etc). Why are they offering me a targeted 70k offer when they already know I have (and just got) the card? Chase denied my match request that I sent a few days after the 70k offer was released, saying that it was only for people who responded directly to that offer.

Thanks, the problem is that these "targeted" snail mail united offers don't have any unique code. it's just a link from the wiki with no special codes or anything like that...

I also would prefer to be targeted by United with some sort of pre-approved guarantee. They should stop sending these flyers knowing that many of their targeted customers have no chance of receiving the offer because of 5/24

I decided not to apply for neither of the cards and hope that IHG wont join 5/24 cards

+1. A friend of mine received a few mailers for the SW card. Although he was already over 5/24, he applied anyway. Chase rejected him and said that he had opened too many accounts recently.

I have received the mailer and applied last week. I received the rejection by mail yesterday for too many accounts opened.

I was approved for the ua card about 2 months ago, I certainly had applied for more than 5/24 (supposedly the rule was in effect then).

Chase expanded the 5/24 policy on May 22--that is, about 5 weeks ago.

I applied for the MPE and after 1 day it got approved with 25k CL. The next day I got a targeted mail with a better offer i.e 50k for 2k spend. Will chase match 50k for 3k spend with full annual fee and 50$ statement credit to 50k for 2k spend with no annual fee?

Send a SM and they will let you know. For me they matched me on the IHG card but took away my statement credit. They will let you know.

Statement closed on June 18. Any idea when the 50k bonus will post to my UA account?

I've added an entry--Now that I've completed the required spend, when will my signup bonus post?--to the wiki at the top of the page.
