That's that highest it's ever been. Oh, spend 25k to get the other 10k...nevermind

I just got this today as well. I already had the old Onepass card (cancelled in August) so I assume I don't qualify for this? Kind of weird they would send me this offer when I already have had the card, I wish they'd send me the equivalent UA Explorer offer.

I got the same email. But I wonder if I can apply it because I just got Southwest card a month ago.

It depends on more than just that. If Chase "likes you", and that spacing is not part of a pattern (ie, you have other cards with them and the other cards are much much older than 1 month), and you aren't at whatever they consider their "max" of cards, it may not be a problem at all. If the Southwest card is the first card you ever got from Chase and your whole credit history is very short, then it's more likely to be a problem.

I find it amusing, however, that CO OnePass has a brand new card offer now (mid-November, and says apply through Dec 31) when CO OnePass as such will stop existing in only about 6 weeks (ie, likely before the bonus miles post for some!). I'm not saying it's a problem (they do explain in the email that the miles will automatically convert to UA), but it still seems funny that it's a CO OnePass offer rather than a UA MileagePlus offer (or at least a combined offer).

Perfect. thank you for the share. Is there a code or anything we need to say when calling? I was just about to get my parents the CO card this week.

While in general being observant and cautious is good, why this out of all the email offers out there?

Yeah, apply via the phone number included in the email if you feel the need.

You can't apply for this online or via phone without having been targeted with a unique offer code.

Not necessarily, call and speak with them to see about moving around lines of credit or to answer any questions they may have.

The invite lists First Name, OnePass #, and email address. Seems like if it is a phishing attempt, they already know a lot about you.

I got one too
I just applied for 2 southwest cards 1 month ago, I will wait until the end of the year to apply for this card
25k to spend for a year is too much I think but 50k is not bad at all

Not always. I just approved for a different Chase product after getting the 'ten day' thing. The approval came about ten days after applying. Also, if you're rejected because of too many apps or credit lines, call the number on the letter. Often they will let you move some credit from one card and give you another.
Good luck
