well i opened up an account 7 days ago, and what did i see today, 10,000 miles posted to my onepass today, but still havent received my check card yet, and havent set up any direct deposit or debit yet either.

Interesting...I recieved the Continental debit within 3 days, but it has been over a week and I have yet to see the miles on my balance.

I am curious too how long it takes for the miles to post. I applied for the debit card 8/4, received 8/13 used once 8/18 - no miles have posted so far. Does anybody have real experience of how long it took.

just got the 10k mile bonus...took a bit over a week and a half. now i just have to buy something small to get the rest of the bonus....thanks op!

Does the account holder have to physically bring in the other persons whose names they want to add to the three additional no-fee cards for 7500 more miles? How about just bringing in the three additional persons' ID?

If even is not necessary, I may make 3 cards for my dog :p

i was wondering the same thing. anyone know?? (i.e., bump)

I went to Chase last Wed and signed up for this. I got my card today. They said I needed the people to come in but I'm seeing if I can add them online like you can for credit cards. I'll see and report back

Cool...I am also going to try to stop into a branch to ask a personal banker. Hopefully one of us comes up with an answer.

I haven't found a way to add the other members online.. Anyone find anything out??

i got 10,000 milea awhile back, now i just got 5,000 of the remaining 7,500 miles i was suppose to get, has anyone receive their full 17,500 miles yet

That doesn't seem to be the case. In addition to none in NC (even in Charlotte, the third-largest banking city in the US), there aren't any branches anywhere near Washington DC, Atlanta or Charleston, SC. The closest to NC seem to be in northern New Jersey or Texas.:td:

Is there a minimum time the account must remain open to "keep the points" ?
Has anyone determined if the Electronic Deposit must be chase "pull", versus other financial Institution "push" ?

From the Chase website:

I wonder if you really have to use the card to receive the 2,500 bonus miles. Does anyone know for sure?

Does Anyone Know if you can open this up online or through the mail to receive the bonus miles?
