She made her first purchase in Oct and the points for that and another purhcase (totaling 70 pts) posted in Nov. I'm baffled as to why they didn't just credit the full amount of points right away. Ugh. They did when I signed up and purchased.

Got this new offer via e-mail today. The highest I'd ever seen in the past is 30k PC pts upon signup, so this is certainly much richer. Here's the breakdown:
- 45k pts upon first purchase
- 15k more after spending $3k
- 10k more after spending $15k
- 3 pts per $ spent on ICH purchases
- 1 pt per $ spent on everything else
- $59 annual fee (first year fee NOT waived)
Looks like it would be worth getting and spending $3k on and then throwing in the sockdrawer. Kind of shocking that just signing up for this CC and spending $3k on it will get you top-tier elite status. Talk about watered down status.
As far as the differences from the previous 30k signup bonus PC Visa, I believe the 30k Visa had the annual fee waived for the first year AND you got a $20 statement credit after your first purchase. So basically you are paying $59+20 = $79 for 15k more pts, and the option for an additional 15k bonus pts for $3k spending. Pretty good deal IMHO. I may just sign up for it. ^

Just wondering if anyone has had any recent success with this link before I head into it blind. And by "success" I'm not referring to the actual link (the app still comes up fine), but to actually receiving the 45,000/15,000 bonus point offer referred to above via this particular app.
Thanks...
Thanks...

My fiance got the 45k points from this offer. Word of warning though. It seems PC isn't particularly fond of those who try to link two separate PC rewards visa cards to a single account (to accumulate points faster). There's no stipulations that state you can't do this of course. I guess I got 'lucky' cause they got the 45k points over but just this past month they started refusing to transfer any more points, stating that I can only have one card linked to my account or something like that. In terms of the 15k bonus points, we didn't get that (I don't recall what the reqs are for getting those) but it's a moot point anyway since they will not longer associate her card to my account.
(Sorry, just saw the answer to my biz/personal cards on one account in the other thread about this.)

No luck with what?
Getting approved?
a) If so, then applying multiple times in a week is not going to increase your chance of approval.
b) If not, then I can only assume you meant you applied but haven't received the bonus points yet. It would be to soon for them to have posted.

As of February 18, the link resolved to https://ccsic.fni-stl.com/cgi-bin/cc...CHGC&mkid=62ZR and still worked.
It no longer functions.
