4 Bonus RRs for using SWA VISA
I received a letter from SWA and Chase Card Services stating:
Thank you for being a loyal SWA Card holder.
I will earn 4 bonus RR Credits if I spend $1,000 ea month for Aug, Sept, and October - on top of what I would normally get. Pretty good deal.
Strangely, I am in my 11th month with the card. I had called up a day or so before about cancelling as I did not want to pay the $59 annual fee. Agent said they would give me 2 bonus credits plus my normal 2 on the card anniversary if I did not cancel, so I said "ok".
As I got the letter only a day or two later, I do not think it was related to my phone call.

I too recently called about cancelling my SWA Visa. I received the verbal offer of 2 bonus over the 2 coincident with the yearly fee, but additionally the person said they could reduce the yearly fee to $39. Upon closer questioning, however, this fee reduction would have also changed my Reward Dollars earning rate from 2/$ to 1/$ at all SWA partners (that is, down to Classic level rather than Signature). This was not stated upfront, so be careful of what they may offer.

I also received a similar offer, the monthly target was 2k. My guess is they round it up to the next $1000 above the average monthly spending on the card.
I also received another offer, on my business card for double credits on all restaurant spending for a 6 week period. Had to juggle between the two cards to max out both offers at once.

I had not been using the card much in the past 5 months -- so guess the minimum did depend on earlier spending habit.

I have not gotten the promo for any of my Chase cards (I have many like Disney, marriott, Continental, priority club, and SW for each my hubby and I!) except last week I got one for my priority club card I opened just for the 30k bonus. Never used the card except once and it didn't have an annual fee so I've held on to it. Sweet deal - spend $200 each month between August and October and get 15,000 points. Pretty good deal as we are going to Clearwater Beach in April and that will be an extra night. It is probably related to what you normally spent and that's why mine was so low. My recent concentration is on SW visa as I need a few more credits for some coming trips.

Warning: In my experience, Chase seems worth than others in living up to promotions like this. I've had to fight 3 out of 3 times. Keep all your paperwork. (Last time they sent me a glossy flyer for a similar UA promotion, but after I jumped through all their hoops they claimed I was never targeted. I had to produce the flyer.)
P.S. I also received the SW offer, spend $1k each month in Aug, Sep, Oct, and receive 4 bonus RR by the end of Dec.

Chase RR Visa Offer: 4 credits for $1K spend in each of Sep, Oct and Nov
With Chase RR Visa card, the one with plane on it. I received this by mail. I searched and didn't see this offer posted. No sign up required as far as I can tell.
