"We'll give you 32 Rapid Rewards credits instead of the usual 16 every time you spend $19,200 with your card between April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011."

I wonder how that will work with WN tickets, since they already earn double credits.

This is the one I want!

wish I would get one for less spending , that is alot !!!!
I just received this offer in the mail as well. Seems like they keep upping and upping my offers more and more each time I meet the requirements of their previous promo.

This offer to spend $9600 per month for the next 2 months (to get double RR credits) just takes the cake though. Considering that when I signed up for the Chase BA Visa, Chase slashed my credit limit from $20k down to $10k, how the heck do they think I am going to be able to get $9600 per month. I guess it's doable but I would have to be very careful as I only have a $400 per month buffer or else I will max out my CC. What a joke though, I definitely will be passing on this "promo" this time.

At least Chase also sent me a promo for my BA Visa to spend $1k for each of the next 3 months and I'll get 10k bonus BA miles. I know which CC my spending is going on for the next 3 months. ^^

Well another question just occurred to me. Suppose we spend $19,200. That normally generates 16 credits, enough for a free ticket. Now they give her another free ticket. Will that generate another 16 credits or just another free ticket?

What I am asking is this - will each $19,200 generate 16 credits or 32 credits toward a CP? So if we somehow manage to spend $57,600 (3 x $19,200), will she have earned 48 credits from her card (3 x 16) or 96 credits (3 x 16 x 2)? If it's the latter - 96 - this would actually make the CP a possibility.

I got the offer too. It seems pretty clear from the wording that what will happen is that when I hit $19,200 in spending I will get an extra RR ticket, not an extra 16 credits. So no double credit towards CP.

Alas I am currently working on spending $30k on BA Chase Visa for a much more valuable companion ticket, so the WN Chase Visa offer is on the back burner. But it does appear that Chase is offering some great promos through its airline partners

Hmmm. I thought my offer stated I would receive 16 more credits, enough for 2 free tickets (therefore 32 to the CP). I left the offer at the office so I'll check it in the morning and report back (unless someone confirms this before).

My wife and I each got one of these...I work at a hotel, so it looks like I'll be charging the water I buy for lunch each day to my WN card!

The offer I received states "Every time you spend $19200 with your card between April 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011 you'll get 32 Rapid Reward credits instead of the usual 16." The offer is valid for up to 5 bonus roundtrips.

This seems like a really good offer...good enough to move all my CC spending to the WN Visa for the next year. Based on our typical annual spending we'll fall 15K or so short of the 3rd bonus...but the allure of my first ever CP may be enough to move some of our planned home improvement/furnishing projects up a little.

The offer I had stated 32 credits.

I think I am 22 credits from CP status. The offer told how many credits I needed to earn CP status and clearly stated it was for 32 credits so I am assuming everyone that got the promo would get 32 credits. Unfortunately I don't think I will have any big business expenses this month to charge. Wish I would have gotten the offer for march when I had a lot of business expenses I could have charged.

Did check (made me go to work to keep my word) and as you state, get 32 credits for the $19,200 spend by June 15. The next paragraph even elaborates with the fact that the 32 credits get you faster to CP.

You may not want to give up CP so easily since being short 22 isn't like a horse race. If you lose a few, it's still a rolling deadline and you could gain the balance needed if you can pick up more than those that drop off. It's worth the push. Lot's of extra ways to spend money. Donations is a good one. Good luck.

I stand corrected. Though my flyer is a little ambiguous as one side says "whenever you spend $19,200 with your [card] you'll get 2 free flights automatically" and the other side says "We'll give you 32 Rapid Rewards credits instead of the usual 16 every time you spend $19,200..."

I can get up to 5 bonus tickets, though realistically for CP I would only need 3 (actually less, but no partial bonuses). So I guess that is $57,600 in spending over the next year which is a bit steep as I can't charge corporate expenses and just paid all my taxes. At a valuation of .02 per mile (or $1 spent), that's roughly $1152 for a CP + 6 RR. Tremendous ^

Any ideas? I guess I need a US mint deal.

Prepay bills? Will your utility companies allow you to pay with credit card more than you owe, thereby establishing a credit on your account. If so, you're not buying something you don't need, you're just moving purchases in time.

my offer

my offer is the spend 1k per month for 3 or 4 months and get 100 gift card. I generally spend 2-5k per month so this is a no brainer for me. My annual renewal will be sometime in this time period but 100 less 59 still makes me 41 richer for not changing any behavior.

Is there any known way to prompt an offer like this? I read the thread, I understand it's targeted, but unless by dumb luck you plucked a flyer from the mailbox, has anyone else actually tried (successfully) requesting this type of offer?
