Oops - Previously I stated that I only got my 5,000 EQMs for the Platinum card, but not the promised 25k EQMs. I just looked at my Mileage Plus statement and discovered that the 25k RDMs were deposited on December 7. ^
So I may not cancel my cards yet, but I'm definitely going to stop revolving my cards for bonus RDMs. |

Let me apply for a new card now and test the water. :rolleyes: I'll report back. ;) ;) |

Please check this thread for more info. I posted my email communications with Chase there as well |

Is this only for the platinum cards? or also for regular and business cards that offer 20K bonus?
|
My friend wanted to cancel his Visa,which was said free of annual fee for first year and only got the response from CSR that if he cancels the card, he will lose the bonus 20k miles
He has had this card for 8 months already |
It's interesting that Chase and UAL are finally putting a stop to this. Last year, when receiving one of my 4 MP Plat Visas, I got a call from Chase explaining that, since I already had other cards, that my credit limit for the new card would be lower. No big deal for me as I only planned to make one purchase on it, but it did illustrate that Chase was well aware of folks having multiple cards but chose not to do anything else at the time. I wonder what has caused this change in policy?

I got the following letter in the mail yesterday for my new United Platinum card which had 5000 EQM/25k bonus miles with first purchase. This is my sixth card with them:
"You recently opened a new Mileage Plus Visa Account, which offered bonus miles after completing your first purchase using your new card. The terms and conditions specify that the bonus-mile offer is available only to new cardmembers. Our records indicate you have taken advantage of this offer in the past . . . your account is not eligible to receive bonus miles associated with this card." I DID receive the 5000 EQM when the first statement closed, but apparently will not be getting the bonus miles. |

I was also told, Chase started enforcing the rule of no bonus miles because United asked them to do so.

It's probably not that cut and dried with an affinity credit card. I'm sure UA shares in the intercharge and annual fees in exchange for offering various incentive miles, but it could be broken out virtually any way you could imagine.

Same here
:rolleyes:

My wife received an additional United Visa card and paid $140 annual fee few weeks ago. Today she received a letter from Chase indicating that she will not get any bonus miles because she already has another Visa card. It seems they are finally enforcing the rule.
The CitiAAdvantage website also have the same T&Cs now.:td: |

That's probably the same reason Citi was handing out cash like crazy earlier this year: someone was getting comped on that metric. I got both 0%/year and 2%/life of balance offers. The first check I put right back into Citi at 5% and the second I put on my mortgage. I made about $2000+ off that deal, after taxes. |
The more this is (and was) discussed here, the more likely it was that this would happen. We all know that FT is monitored pretty close by UA.
Sooner or later someone was bound to get this matter to someone who would make the changes. It is very counterproductive (if you wanted the program to remain) to discuss this type of thing here in such detail. |
