It should be automatic, as they should have your OP # is the system, which would recognize your lifetime membership. Your $100 annual fee should appear on your first statement.

Hillarious about the store, though. That what an issuing bank gets for trying to muscle a network off the front of the card!
Totally agree with the look and feel of the new cards. I wonder if they are made out of carbon fiber or some other exotic material?

Still have yet to receive mine. Been a card holder since 2008 but no dice.

I got mine yesterday and have to agree with everything ctownflyer said about the card. I couldn't believe the account number was on the back. It does look like a fake card.

I've gotten quite used to it and am starting to like it, especially since my first batch of Flex EQMs has already posted.

Or a lifer!! Being Lifetime and having the card makes it so worth while. Last year I gained about 25K miles for $100. Plus the other benefits of the card!

I know that there was a special sign up number that I don't have any more. If you search for the original thread about this card I believe that the number is in that thread somewhere.

I personally like the new card. Seems to be more durable than the old card...

Is their a way to apply for the One Pass Plus by phone?

A previous thread had mentioned one could apply via phone at 1-888-MYCHASE, however that number is no longer available for phone applications. Is there another number where one could apply by phone?

Got new Pplus Bus Card. It's the same !

I received my new Pplus Bus CC yesterday and it was the exact same card, but different expiration date. Instead of 12/12 now 01/13. I thought this was wierd. Have you guys noticed a delay in possting of flexible elite miles. Onepass miles were updated 6/20, but haven't recieved my flexible elite miles yet.

I do see that if you go to http://mycontinentalcards.com that the Mastercard logo has mysteriously reappeared.... so this should appear on future PPMC cards after their initial stock is depleted.
Perhaps. But, I guess Chase didn't get the note that I had already ordered replacement cards and sent me some more (although, I should double check the expiration dates when I get home). The replacement replacements still have the Chase logo on the front instead of the MC.

My flex miles did not post this month for the first month since I have had the card as well....

I was planning on converting my 21500 (should have been 22500) flex miles and calling to see if I can be granted Silver status early. I do have an upcoming flight next month to LHR which will definitely push me over the 25k threshold and will allow me to collect the extra (albeit small) Silver bonus miles. I suppose there's no harm in trying. At least it will be in place for the return, but the extra bonus miles would be good.

Has anybody recently tried to obtain Silver or next level up status early based on a flight that's already booked in their profile?

agreed. I couldn't either. I've been using my AMEX card for 23 years now with membership rewards, but its now going to be collecting dust. I haven't applied for a new CC in 20 years.

Yes, did that in March. Was slightly short of 25,000 EQMs, and had a trip booked to LHR. I called OnePass to see if a push to Silver was possible. They were kind enough to grant it after the representative I spoke with discussed it with his supervisor (Silver status was effective immediately). They put a condition that I needed to get around 3,000 EQM within 2 or 3 months to maintain status. That was not an issue with the LHR trip.
