The primary CDW is great! No more AmEx premium car rental insurance for me.

Do the same benefits roll over to the PPlus Business Card as well?
Forgot to ask -- will the same benefits roll over to the business cards as well?

Thanks for the info, Scott. Would it be possible to publish on co.com what, if any, benefits are available to us old CO Chase Visa Signature cardholders?

So I'm wondering, I surpassed 15k about a month ago, but haven't paid the bill yet (Due day is 6/6). The flex miles relating to the 15k spent have not yet posted to my Onepass account. I'm assuming they will...eventually.
Now, the amount that I spent over the 15k, I'm guessing will not count towards any flex miles, and will sort of be wasted, since it was spent before June 1. If that's the case, that kind of stinks, being as I'm talking about around 8k spent in that time frame. I'm sure most people are in the same situation.

I hope, even through the merger, the PClubs keep the unlabeled milk dispensing system. I get endless amusement out of watching people fill their cereal with mini-moos because they can't figure out where to get milk.
Yes, I'm going to he!!. Might as well enjoy the ride.

Thanks for your question, downright. If you reached a $15,000 threshold before Jun 1, then you'll still get your Flex EQMs based on the 2,000 for every $15,000 in spend. If you were on your way to a $15,000 threshold but hadn't quite made it before May 31, you may be eligible for partial credit. So as not to penalize those who had a meaningful amount of spend accrued up to May 31, we'll be offering partial Flex EQM credit for those who of you who were shy of the $15,000 threshold, but were at least $5,000 of the way there.

So no 10,000 mile bonus for $25K spending on the Presidential Plus card, just on the OnePass Plus card?
Basically for $25K spending you can get
-10K RDM on the OnePass Plus
Or
-5K EQM on the Presidential Plus
Hmm...

Next question: I presume the clock for spending $5K "reset" on June 1, and basically everything we spent from the last $15K threshold until June 1 "doesn't count" toward $5K in spend for 1K flex EQM's (unless it was at least $5K)? That amounts to almost $2K for me, and I'm sure others are in the same boat. Since we were not given any advance notice of this, I hope that CO counts the money we spent while unknowingly "in purgatory."
I also presume that whatever we have spent from January 1 - May 31 counts towards the $25K calendar year spend for the 10K RDM's?

Yes and no, J.Edward. Presidential Plus for Business cardmembers will get these new benefits and marketing materials, but will not receive a new card. On the other hand, the the Continental World Card for Business is not changing at this time. Thus these new benefits will not apply - except for the Elite upgrades on OnePass rewards.
My existing Chase/CO World Card for Business (not PP+) IS going to gain the benefit of Elite upgrades on OnePass rewards, but otherwise won't change?

I got an invitation to sign up including an annual fee waiver ($395 in the first year). I had dropped my former Pres Plus card in January because I was switching to Delta for most of my domestic travel. I couldn't pass up this offer - even if only for the EQMs to maintain Platinum status by flying 2 TATLs a year.

Hi sdm1130, as others have pointed out, if you already have a one or three year Presidents Club membership, you will receive a credit for the unused portion of your dues when taking on the Presidential Plus card. You will in turn receive a new Presidents Club membership that corresponds to your cardmember anniversary date.
Have I just gotten a free one year PC club membership AND a $160 credit on my new PP Chase(evil
) MasterCard?What's the catch?
