It's an ongoing promo, with Chase issuing new signup offers on a monthly basis. There is a current promo link that expires May 31st, 2014, but it will probably be replaced by another one later this month. Read about it here:

  2. MBNA Choice Privileges MC - apply through GCR and get a $60 cash rebate, on top of the current elevated 24,000 point signup (normally only 8,000)...a no fee card, just spend $1 to qualify. Promo ends June 9th, 2014. Read about it here:

  3. MBNA Best Western MC - you can sign up through GCR and get a $60 cash rebate, but only 20,000 welcome points. Better to wait for MBNA to promo it for 50,000 or 60,000 points (usually not offered at this point level at GCR)...a no fee card, but requires $1K or $2K spending to get 50K or 60K points. Not currently promo'd at this higher points offering, so wait for it to come around...it's been promo'd three times in about 18 months.
Thanks JJonahJ. I'm curious as to why you left SPG and IHG off your list?

No particular reason. I just figured I'd let someone else have some fun. Besides, my keyboard needs an oil change.

Totally agree. I will wait until a better offer comes along. Seems like things are very quiet imho right now.

Has anyone who had trouble getting the 15,000 Marriott points via the Chase credit card supplementary user bonus received them yet?

I seem to have been playing a "he said, she said" game between Marriott rewards and Chase. Both say they have sent messages to each other and they "are on it." But they still haven't posted and both said once it is figured out they will post. I guess I will see once the upcoming cycle ends if anything happens but I have a bad feeling about it.

Anyone with success have any advice how to deal with these two companies?

Nope, still waiting for mine and Mr. Fink's too, depsite both Chase and Marriott say they are 'on it' and it would 'for sure post by the end of this (2weeks ago) week'. I have given up and am just waiting for the May statement to post before I start the next round of phone calls. I had wanted to use them for a stay May 1st so I lost that opportunity
