I finally called the 888 number posted by dinosims. The rep cannot find my application by using SSN, or Last name and Zip Code combo. She said application received would show up in the system she used within 24 to 48 hours. The fact that there is not a Chase email acknowledging the receipt of application, according to this rep, means the app has not gone anywhere in Chase system. i.e. it is basically "lost" in the syber space somewhere and would never be processed.
Now it is decision time - should we resubmit it using the method described here before the link is finally gone or we wait through the 2 week plus mailing time, i.e. beginning of June?

As for the lack of an e-mail confirmation of receipt, my wife applied for a Continental-Chase card, got approved, and there was NO e-mail received. Isn't there a chance your rep is mistaken? A chance? Wouldn't it behoove you to try calling the number I did? Couldn't hurt.
The automated system (800-432-3117. Press # and then 1) not only knew I had applied for the card but it also knew the very date I applied. There is NO WAY the application is not in Chase's system. Maybe, just maybe the rep I talked to is right. Maybe? Now, if you want to apply twice or twenty times, go ahead.
My worry is different. I'm not sure I applied before the offer was withdrawn. Therefore I, and others in the same boat, may be out of luck. But I know Chase has my application, so I, for one, am not going to bother to reapply.

I have no idea what the purpose for you to repeat these sentences in both paragraph.
<<Isn't there a chance your rep is mistaken? A chance? Wouldn't it behoove you to try calling the number I did? Couldn't hurt.>>
You dont seem to be able to read others' posts correctly - first you mis-read dinosims posts, now you also mis-read mine. I already stated in more than once that the number of the automatic system, does acknowledge the receipt of my application, just like what others who applied on May 19 have reported.
The number dinosims posted, is the number of the Approval Dept where the credit analysts have authorities to grant approval outright or conditional approval based on whatever criteria in a specific application, just in the case you are not aware of.

I dont understand why you are so upset about people applying more than once - First you chewed up dinosims and deant, though not specifically named their "offenses". After dinosims answered your questions in precise manner, you named deant being the one who submitted his app twice.
So people submitted applications more than once, so what? It really is NONE of your business.
What you decide to do yourself, is your business. Apparently others have not been asking about bunch of questions regarding why you make such decision. Likewise you should not be carried away by what others decide to do.
Come to think about it, I almost would lean to guess the link surfaced on May 19 is a link from a targeted offer, but somehow is "doctored" out the targeted person's data (for good intention, and hope others can use the link). It is a ligit but INCOMPLETE link to Chase system - hence we got this outcome. This is my theory and I will stick to it until someone got approval or denial from May 19 application to prove otherwise.
For now, I honestly believe those who are keen to get this card, would have to re-submit using the method posted here to populate the required fields. After all, deant has reported successfully getting his application to the approval dept.

Unlike you, I don't claim to know what is "normal" with Chase. I can only convey what my recent experiences have been, to be helpful.
As I plainly said, my situation is not necessarily that of anyone else. Others are welcome to pursue whatever means they feel are necessary to achieve their desired outcome. Knock yourselves out.
- The on-line confirmation is enough for me to rest assured that Chase received my application.
- I was told up to 2 weeks, not 24-48 hours.
- I successfully applied for a different airline's Chase card online yet did not receive any confirmation e-mail.

I would have re-qualified for 1K in April, had that darned volcano not erupted. I have not been on a place since March 23 and I'm going through withdrawals.

True. At least now nobody can reapply. I believe I read that this was originally a targeted offer. Curious if anyone who was not targeted by this offer applied and got approved?

Any one else not awarded the 50000 miles from Chase Card?
My husband got a letter from chase today telling him they're not giving him the 50000 bonus miles on his new chase visa card, the one with 50k miles with initial spending. The exact wording are "The terms and conditions associated with your account specify that the premium offer is available only to new Cardmembers. Our records indicate that you have taken advantage of this offer or a similar offer in the past. Based on the is information, your new account is not eligible to receive the premium associated with the first use of your card."
I know the term regarding new cardmember is not true, given the fact that many people on this forum have gotten the miles even though they had multiple UA chase cards before. Also many people on this forum checked this exact point when they applied and were told they would receive the miles. My husband applied through the phone for this new promo, was denied the first time, but approved after lowering his BA card limit within 30 days. We're going to call Chase tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar problem and what's the outcome?

Sorry, but the T&C are pretty clear. I don't think you have a leg to stand on with this one.
Just because some people have slipped through the cracks doesn't change the facts.

I am still waiting for the decision.
I called the app department, the analyst said there is no information about my app. But the automatic system has my information. I guess I need to wait.
I applied on May 24

Thanks, Surface Interval. That's encouraging. The waiting game rolls into the weekend. Johnny-come-latelys (like me) who sneaked (or, "snuck," if you prefer) in under the wire, have to wait and see—not if Chase will approve our applications, but—if Chase will look at them at all! If so, I think I have a pretty good shot at approval. But I have a hunch Chase won't even look. Hope I'm wrong.

Affirmative on your question of curiosity. Now you really need to put faith on the automatic system... A written notification should be coming soon, should the application really IS at the right place. Good Luck.
Unfortunately it is a total crap shoot for people who have had bonuses before and then receive bonus again - some lucky few do but the majority doesn't. I am afraid you would not get what you want by calling Chase. The rep would simply refer you back to the T&Cs and your letter of denial of bonus.
