I'm hoping to use it too for a trip in mid-May but was told it may take 30 days because they need to associate the card to the BA account. Surely that can't take 30 days? But anyway I'm at their mercy and drumming my fingers as I wait.

I didn't get in on this promo, but the 50k one and got denied (by 2 days!!) to be upgraded to 100k. Anyway, i've been waiting for my 2nd 25k to post, but I think I just realized why. I've spent $2523 on the card, but $75 of that was the annual fee. Does the annual fee not count towards the spending requirement??

. they gave me 25k bonus as a good faith gesture though, so i guess thats better than nothing. The 25k bonus hasn't shown up yet though, and I would guess anyone else getting the same is VERY YMMV...

Anyone have their promotional miles post? Just had my first statement closed and received the mi / $ for the purchases I made; but no promo miles just yet.

I got my statement pushing me to the $2523 on 4/19... Last transaction was 4/17 and posted 4/18. Guess I can call them back.

Just activated card and ready to spend $2,500. I was told by Chase rep that 90 day will start counting from the day I was approved for the card which was 4/18. I told her I just got the card today and it's already been 2 weeks but she said she cannot change the starting date........I also asked if $95 annual fee counts toward $2,500 spending requirement. She said NO.

I decided to apply before the promo ended. My app is going to review (recently applied for a mortgage so I am sure that inquiry is to recent). If they approve me in a week I hope I still get the bonus since I applied tonight.

Does anyone know for the household account if it's easy to get relatives at other addresses to sign up for this card and then do the household account verification just with your address? My wife and I just set this up and it just asked her to enter our address. Anything to keep you from doing this with relatives??

For those of you who have received your 50k + 50k bonuses, how long has it usually taken between making the first purchase (or first topping $2500) and getting the miles in your BA account? Do they normally pay out at the end of the statement period, or is there an additional lag time? Just curious. Sorry if this has already been answered; I couldn't find the answer.
