Frequently Asked Questions about Rapid Rewards Visa

1. What are the different card types?
non-business Plus, non-business Premier, business Plus, and business Premier.
Premier cards have a higher annual fee but give 6000 anniversary bonus points vs. 3000 points for the Plus cards. It is generally agreed that you will get the bonus for a new account if you have not had that particular type of RR Visa card before, but Chase appears to be in the process of changing their policies (see below).

Note that prior to RR-2.0, the two types of RR Visa cards were "Classic" ($29 to $39 annual fee) and "Signature" ($59 to $69 annual fee). Plus and Premier are new products for purposes of the (soon to be retired?) "One bonus per product" rule.

2. Is there a zero annual fee version?
No.

3. Can I "churn" these cards? How often can I reapply for the same type card and get the signup bonus?
The official rule has recently changed more than once. Closely check the T&C of your offer as different rules may apply to concurrently available offers. The Inflight offer linked above states:
This bonus offer is available to you as long as you have not received a new cardmember bonus for this product in the past twenty four months.
Referral offers have been seen with a limit of one individual and one business bonus per lifetime (although T&C read by the CSR taking the application differed from those printed on the referral offer).

Actual results sometimes differ from the official rule. People have reported receiving the bonus a second time on the same card type at various intervals even when the bonus was officially once per lifefime per product. Please post your results here.

As of mid-May 2015 Chase has cracked down on applicants who appear to have much less than average attachment to their cards. Specifically, more than 5 applications within the past 24 months is the approximate cutoff: Chase crackdown on churners: Please report your RR Visa approvals/denials here

4. Can I cancel the card and still collect the anniversary bonus?
Yes. Reasonable people disagree on whether this crosses the line of exploiting the card issuer. The anniversary bonus is described a reward for having been a cardmember for the past year, not as a reward for paying the next year's annual fee. Based on that description, the bonus has been earned even if you then cancel the card. As a practical matter, there is a window of only a couple weeks to accomplish this. The bonus points will post on the billing date of the statement containing your new annual fee, which will have posted earlier in the billing cycle. You have 30 days from posting of the annual fee to cancel the card and have the new fee refunded.

5. Does the annual fee count toward the spending threshold for the signup bonus?
No.

6. When will my signup bonus post to my Rapid Rewards account?
If you have met the spending threshold at least several days before your statement date, the bonus will normally post 2 days after your statement date, not when you actually spent the money! Cutting the timing or the spending amount too closely is not advisable. Mistakes can happen.

7. My statement shows sufficient purchases to meet the spending threshold. Why didn't I receive the bonus?
This can happen if you met the spending threshold just a few days before the statement date. It appears that accounts are flagged for meeting the spending threshold independently of the statement generation process and less frequently than daily.

8. How can I determine my statement date?
You should call Chase (phone number on back of card) to check your next statement date. Credit card companies are now required to have payments due on the same numerical day of each month, which means closing dates vary throughout the year. (Before reforms enacted after the financial crisis, RR Visa cards had constant closing dates rather than constant due dates.) The closing date should remain within the same small range unless you request a change of your payment due date. When you request a change, Chase normally can delay your next statement but cannot accelerate it. If you are unwisely taking the risk of cutting your timing too close, you should call Chase more than once to confirm your next statement date.

9. I accidentally crossed the spending threshold in December rather than January. Can I return a large purchase to bring my spending back below the threshold?
Unlikely. It appears that the sweep to check spending threshold does not un-flag an account previously flagged as meeting the threshold. It's not even clear whether the sweep counts returns at all. If you realize the error before the statement closes and you have a payment due date change available, you might be able to push the December closing date into January.

10. Can I apply for a credit card in my wife's name but my Rapid Rewards number, so that the points funnel into my account?
People have tried this. Some have succeeded. Others have reported that Chase closed the account and posted no Rapid Rewards points. Do you feel lucky? Programs can become very aggressive when they suspect members of defrauding the program by using non-matching names. When you game the system you are only on solid ground if you follow the rules to the letter. Breaking the rules means that the program can penalize you if they want to, and believe me: They want to.

11. Can I scam this system in any other way? I just had a clever idea.
There is nothing new under the sun here on FlyerTalk. If it relates to established program rules and it isn't discussed here you can be confident your idea will not work.

Furthermore... received my Premiere card over the weekend and confirmed via secure message that I have until January 28, 2018 to spend $2k and get 60k points.
The offer on your account is to earn 60,000 bonus points
after you spend $2,000.00 on purchases in the first 3
months your account is open. The last date to meet the
spending requirement for the enrollment bonus is January
28, 2018. The bonus points will be issued in 6 to 8 weeks
after qualifying.
I have to inquire about the business card through a different process, and I haven't done that yet.

Does anyone have a screenshot of the 60k Business Premier Offer after $2,000 spend? That's what it says in the wiki and I swear when I signed up it was $2,000 spend. But obviously now that the 3 months have passed and I've put $2,900 on it they're saying it was $3,000 spend.

Has 3 months passed OR has the spend by date passed ? The spend by date is almost always 104 or more days so you may have time.

Wiki update for correct spend on business card............


The Wiki is wrong it was a 50K/$2K spend

60K was always $3K on the latest offer for the Business card

Here is a screenshot from January

Do the signup bonus points (60k x2) for both Plus and Premier cards still post on the statement date after spendings requirement is met? Any reports of the points posting earlier than that, such as mid-statement, immediately after spend requirement is reached? As it is, my wife's 2 cards both have statement close dates on 1/1 so I would hate if we spent the $2000 x2 on 12/27 and points posted on 12/30.

On one card, points posted very shortly after reaching the $2,000. On the other card, I had applied for and approved for the card at 40k points. Even before I got the card, the bonus went up to 60k. I emailed and they agreed to the 60k bonus with the $2k spending. When I hit that mark I was told I'll see them on the next statement date, but got them credited to me shortly before the statement date.

This was covered extensively in previous years here. Worth reading some of those threads.

Bottom line is that in the first couple months of WN Chase CC accounts, weird things can happen. Extra statements dropping unexpectedly (short months), delayed bonuses, early bonuses, etc.

And Chase Customer Service will tell you all kinds of things, make promises, etc. Some of that stuff is even true. In any case, spending in the last ~5 days before a statement drops will typically cause an extra 1-month delay in the bonus points posting.

And Chase statement drop dates are not set in stone anyway. Mine vary by a day quite often. I looked once over a multi-year period and this TENDS to be associated with a holiday or a weekend, but not always.

If I were you, I would spend 1/1/18.

1/1/18 is 92 days after I signed up for the card. I know some people are saying you get 115 or 120 days, but I don't want to take that chance.

As far as changing statement date, Chase lets cardholders change statement date online. However, when I tried changing the date online for these cards, I was unable to do so. First statement hasn't closed yet. Maybe I'll be able to after first statement closes.

Call and change the closing date, call and SM for the spend by date so you have it in writing.

I have never heard of a Chase spend by date being less than 103 days

For my business card, when I first DM'd Chase they quoted me a 92 day spend-by date of 12/30. I DM'd them again yesterday and they gave 115 day spend-by date. In a mean game of WWYD, which one would you follow? Obviously 115 is the answer I want to hear, but it's clear in writing that I was given the 12/30 date (and the 1/24 date, too). I don't want to end up in a battle with Chase. Statement won't close til mid-Jan.

Seems you received a different time frame for your personal card

First I ever heard of a 92 days spend by date. My wife opened her SW plus in early October and has until late January to make the spend. I opened a Marriott Business in mid October and have until February 8 to make the spend.

Do as you wish but I would call them up and show them both messages and ask what is up.........the CSR is reading info off a screen not counting days, GL

I SM'd the spend by date for each of the 2 cards separate. Reply for both cards (from different people) was 1/25/18. I applied on 10/1 late night (probably early 10/2 EST), so 1/25/18 is 115-116 days from application date. This is in line with what Doctor of Credit wrote, but I don't want to rely on this. I'll probably spend up to $1900+ early December, then finish it off on 12/31. Charge wont finalize until 1/2 or so, and I'll get the points on 2/1. (My statement date is 1st of every month)

Do as you wish but 1/2/18 is beyond 90 days so if you are that worried I would have the charge that puts you over $2k post sooner

In the past we have had reports of cards being hacked and the fraud put them over $2K and the points posted in the wrong year

That being said I am using our cards for the first time when we spend $4K on 12/30/2017

I initially thought the spend requirement was for 90 days, but it's 3 mo. To me, that comfortably puts me at 1/1 rather than 12/30. I think as long as the charge is in before 1/1, I'll be good. I don't card if points post 2/1 rather than 1/1.

Anyway, my wife created a new RR account prior to applying and still has 0 points. Since Chase UR transfer to RR instantly, I figured points would post to her account day of statement close or by morning after. She made a $2 purchase 2 weeks ago. Statement closed yesterday and points haven't posted yet. I just want to make sure everything is working seamlessly.
