They told me that only a purchase made after I activate the new card counts. So I'm not sure if your theory holds. They know when you activate and may not count a purchase before that date.

Is it true that they wont charge me the annual fee of $95 until the next anniversary? My annual fee of $85 was refunded and i have yet to be charged the $95 fee for the plus card.

I am curious about this as well. I took this screen shot when I upgraded the card. My Premier card was less than 12 months old when I upgraded. However, I have already gotten a pro-rated refund of the annual fee for the old Premier card. I haven't been charged for the $95 for the new card yet. Hopefully, I am getting the prorated discount for the Premier and the annual fee for first year of the Premier Plus credited. I guess we just wait and see...

My offer said the AF for the new card ($95) would be waived because I had the old card for less than a year at the time of my upgrade.
This has really been almost too good to be true. Finished off the 120,000-point offer for $12k spend on the old card, took the 50,000-point offer to upgrade because I valued it more than my anniversary award night up to 25k points, and once my anniversary passed I received a 35k certificate anyway.

I made my first purchase and got 10K points as well. I wonder why they post these points in two installments. Are they worried someone would cancel or downgrade immediately?

Also only got 10000 after first purchase
I also only got 10,000 points after first purchase. I called and rep. said he could not find any notes about 50,000 points. I told him that I had the email from them with the 50,000 upgrade offer if he needed it. He said he would send the request upstairs to promo dept. for additional 40,000 points but they would not post for 4-6 weeks. So we will see

Sounds like a lot of people are taking the 50K offer, which is good with no minimum spend IMHO. I was hoping if this round of enticement is not well received, Chase would further up the offer to 75K (wishful thinking). I think I will take the bait myself, too.

Also got the 50k upgrade offer and took it. Hoping to have the points post by 12/31 in my quest for PP. Anyone know if it is possible to ask Chase to move up my statement posting date?

I took the 50K offer because I am trying to make 1.6 million for legacy Lifetime Gold. It was a tough decision because losing elite night credits for spend could become an issue going forward. No points posted after first purchase. Points just posted today on my statement closing date and I only got 10,000. Secured Message sent to Chase. I too have the e-mails and screenshots saved in case of this eventuality. I can't wait long for the other 40,000 points to post because I'll have to leave some cushion if a UR transfer becomes necessary to put me over the top on the 1.6 million. I hate constantly having to chase down points, it's really frustrating.
Update, Chase replied they will give the other 40,000 points in 6-8 weeks. Too late for me to reach my Lifetime Gold goal. I have written to TPG ([email protected]). He seems to have a close relationship with Chase. Whether they care or will do anything is obviously an issue, but one can hope. This is a clear case of false advertising. I would not have made the switch to the Premiere if I had known points would not post until 2019.
