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.

Applied for SW Business Premier yesterday through the links from here. Pending. Called recon a few hours after the app and was approved after a few questions about business revenue, profits, income, etc and a short hold. Also had to shift around some credit from my Ink and one personal card since they wouldn't grant me any additional credit. Approval was much less painful than with my Ink that I had to call recon 2-3 times for. I got the SW Personal Premier in February and 50k bonus in March. I confirmed the 60k points after $3000 in first 3 months offer, which will get me CP. I am excited as this will be my first CP! Thanks for the link and all of the previous experience posted here. ^

Question about applying for the sw premier card, but I suppose it's also a general cc question:

Does it matter if you apply through a public link vs a referral vs a targeted offer? Does using the offer/referral code give you a better chance of approval?

Thanks for any guidance.

I have Ink Plus and got denied Ink Bold in-branch when they were discontinuing it. Called recon and was grilled on income, etc, denied again and given reason was that I don't spend enough on my new Ink and it's new, I've applied as a sole proprietor and put my salary as my income.
Today I'm applying to a citi executive card and wanted to do it together with this 60K business flavor of this card.
What are the chances that Chase will give me another business card if they rejected (different) one few months before?
Not thinking about the personal version, because I can get it any time (i think), but if I won't get the business it means I won't get the companion certificate.
Is this valid logic?
Thanks

How did you find out chase purged that product from your account?

I would guess you can log into your Chase account, and see if the card is still listed, even as a closed card.

hmm i wonder if thats true. my CSP was cancelled awhile ago and it is still listed. However, the SW premier which was also cancelled awhile ago and is no longer listed. only a month difference between each cancellation, SW premier being first.

FWIW, that's how I found out my card had been purged from my profile

I even gave them the CC # from a statement and they couldn't pull it up

Applied for the Bis card with 60,000 points and the call was going smooth until asked about a Business Identification code. She insisted on a 9 digit number.
Anyone????

why did you need to give them your CC #? Was that when you realized the card was purged from your account?

Sorry to keep on badgering you with questions but I will earn the CP if this card application gets accepted. THanks in advance

You can use your SSN as the code. They were asking you for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and you should claim you are a sole proprietor and file a Schedule C...if they go in details.

There is no difference and one does not have a better chance than another.

Have personal Premier already from end of last year. Do very little spend on that card.
what number did you call? I got pending and called 1-888-883-2721 for status, the guy told me just wait for result, nothing he can do. Please advise. Thanks.

Anyone know how long it takes for the 1500 A-List points to post after 10,000 spend? Just hit that with this months statement and my regular miles posted, but I haven't seen the 1500 added to my A-List progress.
