My husband received an email to apply and get the 50k miles and first year fee free. He was approved at application and the card showed up in the mail 6 days later.
Easiest 50k miles he ever earned

Chase just responded more favorably now that I asked them to cancel the card. Now they are offering to exchange the $50 statement credit for 20,000 miles. That gets me to 45,000 miles. If I want the full 50k I need to add another authorized user. There is no one in this world I would authorize, so I guess I am going to come up 5,000 miles short.
I am pleading for the full 50k, but figure it is a long short and I'm going to have to be happy with 45,000. Not that bad of an outcome.

Typically you don't need to add a social to authorized user. Add your dog.

Man, am I confused by all of the different Chase cards and competing offers. I received the 50,000 mile offer for a Presidential Plus card in the mail today. But here's my problem, as a small business owner, I've been very happy with an AMEX Plat card for business expenses and an AMEX Gold for personal expenses. The main things that I like and my questions are:
1. No interest charges. This appears to be unobtainable with Chase, except for INK Bold, correct?
2. Hertz Gold membership though the Plat card. Do any Chase cards besides the personal Presidential Plus card give Avis President's Club membership? What about the Business Presidential Plus card?
3. Membership miles TRANSFERABLE to Continental. Is this the case for all Chase cards that earn points?
4. Continental Lounge Access. I can get this with any Chase "Presidential" card, correct?
5. Both Amex cards can credit to the same Membership Miles Account. Will this be the case with two Chase cards?
Thanks for any help.

1. You don't pay interest becuase Amex requires you pay in FULL every month, therefore no interested is charged. If you paid in full for your Chase card it would be the same.
3. and 5. miles would go directly to yoru continental account. Note your Amex will loose this ability in September.
4. this is either of the presidential cards.

I had a One Pass card last year that I got 25,000 bonus miles for. I canceled in December to avoid paying the $85 annual fee for 2011.
I got an email from Chase a few weeks ago for the 50,000 bonus miles, so I reapplied just to see what would happen. I was approved and the card came in the mail today, but the included paperwork doesn't say anything about bonus miles.
Does anyone else know if their bonus miles were described in the paperwork? I wonder if I should call and ask them if I am approved for miles, or just wait and see what happens.

No problem - but I don't know the answer. The last flight I booked on CO a month or so ago was a paid domestic flight - get free checked bags because I charged the whole thing on my CO Mastercard. And the last 3 or 4 flights on CO were like that - or BF reward tickets - not economy (where I got the free bags too). Robyn

You can add any name (make something up if there is nobody) to your account and cut the card after you receive it.

If you got the letter and signed up under the promo, I'd bet you'll get the miles.

I'm fairly certain the paperwork that comes with your card isn't going to say anything about it - in all of the credit cards I've gotten that have had sign up bonuses, I can't recall any of them having paperwork that states that I'll get a certain number of miles with my first purchase. It's all about the promotion you signed up under.

There was no documentation about miles when I got my card the other day. When I called to activate they told what miles I would be getting.

Is there a Business variant OPP card for 50K?
I already have a personal OnePassPlus MC - got it in the spring of 2010 (shortly after the merger was approved, I think). That one only yielded 25k or 30k miles, which was OK but obviously ain't as lucrative as the current offer of 50k.
I was wondering if there's a (separate) business card variant of this same offer. If so, I'd probably jump at it (for my nwflyboy industries consulting inc business
).
Anybody know if there's an option to do a business card with a similar offer? I haven't applied for a Chase card since last July, and I figure I'm due.

Chase biz card promos s**k. CO one is 30K with fee. Only the Southwest One has identical biz/ personal offers like Citi and AmEx do.
Beware those getting additional cards with phoney SS#'s. SPG just phoned me because 1 digit was wrong on an additional card SS#. Homeland Security/ Big Brother is watching.
