It's probably because Lugi doesn't like you anymore (he's the guy who mails offers to everyone). Try reaching out to Mario, the boss. and see if he can help.

But seriously they come and stop. It's no biggie. If your in the market for a new card, FT is your friend.

Question 1: I see a lot of people getting great targeted offers for UA and hotel chains and Amex, etc.

How do they get these offers? Do I simply have to sign up for their email junk? Or do I have to be a cardholder? I understand that every company is different, but what is the general strategy I can use to receive more targetted offers?

Question 2: I have CCs from 6 airline companies right now. I recently applied for the Chase Sapphire and noticed that they have a clause in their agreement warning that I may be denied for the card if I am found to be a person who only signs up for cards for their bonuses and then never uses them. (I applied for Chase Freedom last year and I don't remember this clause. Is it new?) How can I avoid being flagged as a bonus abuser? Do I simply charge a cup of coffee or something else once every couple of months, just so the card isn't dormant?

Thanks!

I think AMEX and Chase are the exception to this, occasionally (mostly AMEX), sends something really tempting.

Apologies should be mine for not reading your post properly and the implication of my reply.

I have a nephew who is a bank regional cc manager and they are overwhelmed by applications for card from people who has maxed out their existing cards.
I also just had a father-daughter talk about credit since DD is graduating in Dec and her card offers are overloading our mailbox since her employment offers were received. (Are colleges selling their graduate list?)

tough economy and stricter guidelines make it less likely

Any strategy on receiving targeted offers?

I have merged your thread into some related discussions of this topic. Reviewing the older posts may be helpful.

I think you're right from a % perspective. But there are plenty of (reports of) targeted offers, even now, that exceed any publicly available offers. E.g., Citi TYP cards (80k or 100k versus public 50k); Chase SP (100k versus public 50k); etc.

Three overlapping threads on the topic of receiving credit card solicitations have been combined, and some edits have been made for continuity.

Maybe it's just me being young, but Junk postal mail doesn't bother me at all, actually I enjoy just having something in the mailbox. I like CC offers

But don't get me started on how much I despise all Junk Emails.
