Back to the original thought- who else has gotten a letter saying that they will not get bonus miles?

Change in terms?
 

Just applied using the 25k bonus link, looked like the standard deal with the first year free, but having to make $250 in purchases before seeing the bonus miles. Then... after I submit the app, I read this thread :(.

I read through both the T&C as well as the original application page, and none have any mention of having to keep the card open for any period of time. Previously you had to leave it open for 6 months, but people in this thread stated that now you have to have it open for a year? Could anyone provide a link to confirm this?

I guess I'll wait to see if 1. I'm approved, 2. If the bonus miles will show up, and 3. If I get one of those "friendly" denial letters.

I'm on my 2nd MP Visa now - previously I waited 6 months, cancelled, then reapplied after a month, got both bonuses. I've had my current MP Visa open now for 4 months, so we'll see if it works or not.

Interesting. I applied for this card over the phone this week, and I fear ever having to make a customer service call. To start, all CSRs have a voice-changing unit, it was like talking to a robot... very irritating. Had to make 4 calls to complete the application... hung up once when the diction was so bad they couldn't be understood (the voice unit didn't help), another got halfway through and lost cell phone battery, another to finish the app and was told we'd have to start over, and another to do an app start-to-finish.

At the end of the application, the CSR read off some T&Cs that must have lasted about 3 minutes. Started to zone out, but did hear the notes about cancelling the card in less then 6 months could result in forfeiture of any miles ever posted for that card number. At the end, they basically tried to hang up, and I asked a question. They were completely unable to answer a question (something like "so when do I know when I've been approved or denied"), and they couldn't understand the question, and head to start reading from the T&Cs again.

I'll be making sure this card is all elecronic usagae and payment, with no unusual transactions...

Those were all the "good old time" (prior to November 2006) sign-up bonuses. Sorry the good old time is over. :(

Yes, we have more than one "incident" reports already. Other than this thread itself, follwing are some examples:

There's also another thread about 1K only getting $60 waiver, instead of the whole$140 annual fee. (Can't seem to find it at this point.) Fome 1Ks just got THAT letter in the last couple of weeks.

I'm looking at the application for the Platinum card here and don't see any reference to new cardmembers only (on this page or the T&C's page). I currently have a no-fee Gold card which I did not receive bonus miles for; if I've ever received bonus miles, it was over ten years ago. Anyone have reason to think I will or won't be eligible for 25K bonus miles on this offer?

I was looking at the T&Cs in the CitiAAdvantage website, but couldn't find anything about no bonus miles for 2nd or more cards. Do you have the link to the T&Cs?

I think not, since they seem to have started all of this because of the churning people. I wish I HAD been churning but I never did. now, however, I am reluctant to both use and apply for my own chase! My wife had one and she was earning all our UAL miles whereas I was concentrating on AA. I will stick with AA as we rarely use UAL anymore anyway. Oh well, their loss.

I got the same letter telling my that I wouldn't get the 20,000 bonus RDM's.

I did however get the 5K EQM's for signing up.

They have posted to my account and Chase actually helped me move them to 2007.

Weird

Has anyone called and gotten an angel to reinstate the RDM's?

I called yesterday and had an angel reissue TWO upgrade certs that had expired. (Anyone notice that they only give you 6 months to use them now) and they waived two $14.95 fees for paying on the due date.

I charged over $250,000 plus on all my Chase accounts. i'm going to try to get my offer bonus miles reinstated.

Interesting. 5K EQMs for $140 is still a pretty good mileage run - especially since you don't even have to stand up :D

Has anyone been refused the EQMs in addition to the RDMs?

Why do people insist on trying to get what they don't deserve?

It's not about insisting on getting what we don't deserve it's about Chase changing the rules midgame.

If I had KNOWN that the offer that they mailed me wasn't good...I wouldn't have applied for the card.

Why is it that people on this site spend so much time slamming other posters? I'm pretty new to this site.(less than a year) and It seems like EVERY thread ends up in some kind of insult fest...

What is it with you people?!?!?!

let's keep it to the issue at hand.....

They're not. The rule has always been there. And now you're whining because they're enforcing it.

It's only people who think they deserve to get something for nothing.

We are. The issue is Chase enforcing a rule they've always had.

At no place on the web page for the Platinum Visa application offer for 25K bonus miles, does it state that you are prohibited from receving this offer more than once. I have had reps told me that I was welcome to apply for as many cards as I would like. If a company wants to change the rules of the game, it is their option, but my issue is changing the terms and conditions retroactively and failing to keep their committments.

I had a snow job done to me by Chase that made me unnecessarily have to redeem Choices for EQMs, because they would not award me the 5K EQMs I was rightfully entitled to receive for opening a new account along with the 25K RDM . I am currently deciding what the best course of action will be to resolve this.

Read the T&C. It's very explicit that the bonus is for first-time cardmembers only.
