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.

That is true. Can she get double spend credit for any common categories like restaurants and gas on those cards?

2x only on WN partners like certain hotels and rental cars.

If WN ever had 2x for supermarkets or various other spend (like GCs at gas stations), it would instantly be the card of choice for a lot of people.

$55k spend in a calendar year for the CP would be irresistible for many in addition to over 3% value for the points.

60K Plus card is apparently still available.

Hopefully the 50K offers are around in November or CP is going to be a pain as you need to get 26K more CPQP

We have CP until 12/31/2018 so we have a year to hit 110K

I could be wrong on this but I believe the 2 $40 upgrades are really just an $80 credit to your card.

It appears you are right. As with all things WN, written in a confusing way.

Hey, WN, hire a copy editor/proofreader. I am available.

"Plus, get 2 Upgraded Priority Boarding Passes,
positions A1-A15 at the time of boarding, when available, when you use your $80 statement credit after first purchase towards these upgrades."

Down below:

"Statement credit (Can be used for 2 Upgraded Priority Boarding Passes)
... You will receive a statement credit that you can use towards 2 Upgraded Priority Boarding Passes, positions A1-A15 at the time of boarding, when available. You will qualify for your statement credit after your First Purchase; please allow up to 8 weeks for the statement credit to post to your account. Statement credit and purchase of 2 Upgraded Priority Boarding Passes may not post on the same statement. You do not need to use your statement credit to purchase these items."

Who writes like this?

Thanks for the update - applied and got approved instantly. Had to laugh since I received the other RR several months ago (for the 3rd time) and they gave me a $24,500 credit limit - this one they gave me $2,000 - just enough for the minimum spend requirement :-)

The trick is to lower the credit limit after you make the spend to maybe $3k.

This will give you credit for different cards

I would either pay that bill as you go or call and transfer credit as too much credit utilization will hurt your credit score.
