How often can you reapply for card member bonuses?
I know that some credit card websites tell you and that most often the answer is 18 months/24 months but for a couple of credit cards I just can't find the answer. Is there a list somewhere? Surely someone somewhere must have been diligent enough to compile a comprehensive list. I would myself but I can't find some of the info.

For Chase, which covers all of the UA cards, it's 24 months per Yahoo Finance.

Chase tells you in the terms of the card application:
24 months is measured from the date that you last received a bonus, not from when you last applied.
This product is available to you if you do not have this card and have not received a new Cardmember bonus for this card in the past 24 months.

IMO, this 5/24 is absolutely devastating. It completely bottle necks a large population. I am really interested if they went to far in throttling CC applications. I sincerely hope this rule relaxes soon or I might just go Non Chase Churning.

Your query has been moved here to the Chase forum. Can you clarify your OP? Are you interested in getting information for a specific Chase card, or are you looking for a general list of "rules" across credit card issuers?
If the latter, the place to look is the Credit Card forum, with the threads on specific cards/issuers therein. The "rules" change so frequently, that what works today for a given bank may not work tomorrow. The mega-threads in each forum are usually the go-to source for up to date information. Read back about 10-15 pages of the biggest threads for the cards you are interested in, and you'll know what's going on with applications for each.
There is a lovely list of best offers here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/credi...scription.html
The Chase Mega-thread is here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase...5-present.html
Moderator Note: The OP has not returned to clarify the question. The threads above provide in depth and current information on Chase credit cards. This thread is now closed.
