awww heck, looks like I finally will have to upgrade.
BTW, Avis is worthless and their benefits are useless. All I want is their shuttles to run on a regular schedule and they can't even get that right.

According to Scott, you are incorrect. Doesn't matter how you pay.

Nice to be wrong
This one of those rare moments in my life where I'm glad to be WRONG.

I got an paper offer on my meal tray on a recent Continental Flight. The offer included $75 off first year membership fee. However, it did not mention the 25% bonus. If I apply, will I still receive the 25% elite bonus? Or does it only apply to those who sign up via the new link on CO website?
How does this work for couples? I'm a Plat and so is Mrs SuperG. We would both want to receive the 25% bonus Miles. As far as the PC is concerned, the ideal would be a membership and a spouse membership.
It doesn't make sense for each of us to have a separate Chase Presidential Account, but to have 2 cards on one account.

So it sounds like it would not be a problem for me (LT PC member) to upgrade from the World card and add Mrs. texd (not a PC member) as my second card on the account. She wouldn't get a membership or anything (almost all of her flying is either with me or to airports without clubs anyway), but she would get the benefit of premium wine discounts when we're in the club (that extra $15 annual fee will pay for itself quick).
Hi spainflyer, not at this time, but thanks for the suggestion.
For the LT PC members out there this increases the benefits to getting the card. Now for a $100 you get:
- Hyatt Gold
- Avis Presidential (which includes Avis First Benefits I believe)
- $3 discount on wine (just drink 33 glasses of premium wines a year and
it pays for the card)
- 25% Bonus on miles earned on Continental
- Free first and second bag for user (Elites don't benefit much but those
traveling with them do or non-elites too)
- Miles for purchases as well
- Elite Access (if you dont have it)
This in my opinion makes the card beneficial to LT PC members.

How do you get the $75 discount on the first year fee?

I've got a rock bottom opinion of Chase but I do have the card and will confess the special desk that deals with us (I think it's part of the JPMorgan Private Client support staff) has been efficient, competent and polite.

COPPMC is my primary card and I traffic just about everything through it. I'm desperate for the Flex EQMs as it is a struggle for me to make gold each year.

How do you figure?
Now, this card really beats the Amex plat for access.[/QUOTE]
How so? Amex plat gives you access to many more clubs and elite status at hotel chains and concierge travel service, etc. And besides it doesn't involve Chase, the worst bank in the world for credit cards! We've been fooled before by these Chase offers, I wouldn't trust them to honor their commitments. CO and Chase usually blame each other for not doing so in my experience.

Fair enough.
I won't go into the gory details of my problems with them (you can PM me if you want), but I had multiple accounts - Checking, Auto Finance, and CC - and each one experienced their own unique shades of idiocy. There was borderline unethical business practices on the CC and Auto accounts.
Fool me once...

Another question: Does the Chase Pres Plus MC give you the two yearly CO discount coupons, which you get with the regular Chase World MC?
Obviously it does not give you the two PC passes.

I would like to still get the PC passes, though. It would make it nice if, on the off chance, someone was travelling with my family.

As for this card...well, I signed up. I have a question for Scott - I signed up and have a flight on 18 Jan that I have already paid for. Will I get the extra 25% bonus from the PPMC?
