Clearly I have been spoiling Chase with too much spend on this card. I will have to call and see if I can get the lower threshold.

Just a heads up I applied under the 30k offer but sent a secure message asking for the better offer and chase was very accomadating and told me they will be issuing me the 50k miles after qualifying spend.

Met minimum spend so my closing date can't get here soon enough for the 50+5 to post. The wait...

Guys need your advice. Kind of concerned with what I got in the mail.
Good news is, got my card and everything, so happy about that.
Bad news, Got a letter in the mail same day I got my card saying
"Thank you for opening your new credit card account with us. We reviewed the information you provided when you opened your account and realized that we need to confirm your Social Security Number."
There's a form (That looks suspicious by the way) enclosed and the letter states
"Please understand that if we do not receive the requested documentation by April 29, 2013 we will close your account."
I called chase, they said that's strange and they would never verify personal info through the mail such as SSN...
Any ideas or similar situations guys? :S

Either way, you should call and ask to speak to a supervisor and have them confirm they have all your account info correctly. They would not have given you the card if they were not sure of your social.

Separate letter. That is what I thought was weird. I will call and speak to a supervisor to see if they know of anything.

Impact of closing account after miles received
Hi -
I think I know the answer to this question already, but here goes:
1. I recently got an Explorer card, and have already met the spend requirements.
2. I expect the miles to show up in my account shortly, at which point I'll book an award trip for early next year.
3. Once I book the flights, I plan on closing the account and waiting a few months to apply again and pick up the next bonus.
My question is this: once I've booked an award ticket using miles gained from the credit card, that ticket is mine regardless of what happens to the card (like me canceling it), correct?
Thanks for any insight...

Fraud transferred me to lending services. They said it's legit. Said it's a new security initiative with the Social Security Administration and they just started doing it.
