It hasn't shown up yet on my WN promo page.
But if I book BS DEN-MKE and pay with Chase, does that mean I get ... 48x points? 72x? 96x?
12 BS x (2x promo x 2x A+ x 2x Chase)
That may even make a RT worthwhile.

OP - if you don't mind sharing (we're all friendly here, the stalkers are over in the other thread)....
Do you currently have A or A+ status and/or CP? Roughly how new are you to the Chase card?
Haven't seen it here either. Sure seems like it must be targeted.

Got it too.
It did not show under Rapid Rewards/Promotions on the min page. I had to go My Account/My Rapid Rewards/Promotions.
Now the question is if the tickets need to be fully paid with the SWA card or if I can cancel existing bookings to TTFs and pay the remainder with the card. It is a marginal offer if I can't churn.

Wow, they sure are giving out a lot of points this year. It's good for me, though, since I have a RR visa.

If a single promo has multiple cities listed (DEN/MKE, or select cities), the promo is only paid once once even if you fly to and from 2 cities listed.
So DEN-MKE, paid with Chase SW Visa, assuming you are A+, and were targeted for the Chase 2x promo and signed up (I wasn't targeted, boo!!)
12 base points (business select fare)
+12 A+ bonus points
+12 DEN/MKE bonus
+12 Chase Visa bonus
------
48 points per $ spent

Be sure you clicked "show all" for the list of current promotions and look for "cardmember double points promotion." In my case, this was about 3/4 of the way down the list.
Even though it said you must register after June 19th, I clicked on "register now" and got the message "you are currently registered for this promotion."
Just to be sure, I will check again tomorrow.
Great! I have several July and August bookings to make.
As for targeting---I am A+ and CP holder.

I'm guessing it is because either:
- I have the Premier cards (instead of Plus cards, like the OP); and/or
- My cards are too old (over 1.5 years each) (versus less than 6 months for the OP).

THAT is what I get for being a speed-skimmer rather than a thorough reader. Premier card here for 5+ years as well; presumably the type of card plus time the account has been active plus spending history(?) may be the trigger for the target.

Same here. Nothing showing up on my promo page. I've had the premier card since it was first introduced.
