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.

Yes, that is how I used my credit up.

We were on a flight 11/29 and wife saw the 50,000 offer at southwestwifi-dot-com and filled in her name and email to supposedly be sent a link to apply for the card. No email has arrived as yet. Calls to Southwest and to Chase were completely unhelpful. Well, maybe better luck when we fly home in a few days.

Bonus Points Posting - Possible Mistake

I may have made a mistake. I miscalculated the remaining amount to spend on my personal SWA card and went over the minimum spend by $25 earlier today(12/30/2019). Anyone with recent experience of Chase posting the bonus points prior to the statement close date?

Is my companion pass shot?

If you truly went over the minimum spend today, there no way you screwed it up. First off, the charges must post to your account. This usually takes a few days. Even if they did post, it usually takes 6 or 7 days before the bonus is triggered. Once that happens you must wait until that statement closes. There is no way all this can happen before the new year. Plus i do not believe a statement can end on the dates of 29, 30 or 31.

Of course this all depends on how accurate you are with your record keeping. Whenever i see someone make what they perceive as a major careless mistake, it makes me question what else might they have screwed up. For all we know you might have had an athorized user meet that minimum spend 2 weeks ago.

Thank you for the reply. I share your skepticism. My concern stems from reports where Chase supposedly sent the signup-bonus (SUB) points soon after someone hit the minimum-spend requirement. However, I suspect these reports are from those that 1) didn't know their statement-end date, 2) hit the minimum spend requirement a couple of days prior to their statement-end date, and 3) were surprised to see the SUB points suddenly appear a few days after meeting the minimum-spend requirement. It appeared a few of the people were counting on the default language in the offer (points may take 4 to 8 weeks to appear ...).

The previous statement-end date is 12/25/19. I missed a transaction when I was adding everything up and made $1200 purchase earlier today before I realized it would be $25 over the minimum-spend requirement. Hopefully, it will work as you stated, and I will have worried for nothing.

I earned the sign-up bonus for the Plus card on 1/10/18, then cancelled it about a year later. When can I sign up for the personal Priority card? The day after 1/11/20? Or the next month?

Is there a reason ( assuming you all have the 70K Performance business card) that you aren't just applying for the Premier business with it's 60K bonus to cross the 125K for CP ?

You only get the bonus for one business card.

Only one bonus per 24 months?

So husband had a premier & plus credit card.
Last sign up bonus posted on Feb 15.
He never had a priority or card nor received the bonus
So he applied on plane for 50k bonus since it seemed to be a different product.
Just got the denial stating it's for ANY personal card.
Is this true?
Is chase changing?
TIA
