at least you got a denial letter ; we spoke to TWO offshore CSR's who took our info, and now every time we call, they have no record of us even applying for this card.

^ i don't read the ua threads, so just found this an hour ago and am now going to fly free to hawaii instead of paying. first time chase card holder. thanks very much for all of you who share.
the conversation after the wrong zip code method:
"i'd like to be transfered for the chase offer"
"the 50 thousand bonus offer?'
"yes"
so simple. very friendly call center person from the philippines. painless. under 20 minutes. t&c took no time at all.

I didn't even have to the wrong zip code or anything. I just pressed 0 said I wanted to apply for the card and got the 50k offer and it was approved. Just waiting for the card to show up. Though I got the email confirming I got it.
Now, I think I've got to do the Continental offer....

regarding koctail's comment...and Chase cc every 6mo...
I got the BA 100k card in late Nov. In late MArch I got the Co 25+5k for an additional user with no problem. And I had that CO cc most recently in 2005...cancelled it when it was no longer churnable.
I did all the same for my partner too. All points posted amazingly fast for both of us.
The thread about Chase 'every 6 mo rule' has all sorts of stories of people being denied and told 'once every 6mo' and others being approved.
I don't belive the 'rule' is consistently applied. But I would go thru that thread.
I need to read thru their again because I want to get this UA 50k card. I will post an update if I take the plunge soon and get an answer.

From the email I got from Chase yesterday, encouraging me to use my card: "With this bonus offer you will receive [50,000] bonus miles and one $100 United Discount Travel Certificate."
This was the first I've heard of the $100 cert. So, bonus!

I got the same email and was pleasantly surprised as well. My 50k posted a few days ago. Very nice.

Recieved a letter from Chase/United. "We value your business".
Since this latest United VISA isn't my first milage bonus, I'm ineligible for the 50K promised by their agent. Guess fine print trumps promises. Gosh, their agent sure seemed to have authority to make an offer.
Anyway, I'll cancel.

Won't hurt to put a charge on it, wait a while, and see what happens...

Just went online to make some payments and they already have the new card uploaded to the site.
Haven't even received the physical card and it's showing up online!
Guess that means I can fire up those stogies after all...
More importantly, Chase (JPM) seems to be aggressively building up their CC portfolio (by roping all of us in with their hefty mileage offers). They are looking like they will become (if not already) the pre-eminent consumer AND corporate US financial and investment banking company.
Put a couple of bucks to work for you and in a few years you can use those stock dividends instead of points to fly with. Not to be taken as investment advice!
