Our Verdict
Quite a few readers received this offer and asked if targeted e-mail offers like this by pass the 5/24 rule. The answer is no, but I wonder if receiving such an e-mail means you’re also eligible for the pre-approved $300 offer in branch offer as well? (update at least one reader received this offer but isn’t targeted in branch for a pre-approval) As those in branch pre-approved offers do by pass 5/24. Offer itself is pretty good, normal bonus is $150 after $500 in spend so this is double normal. Probably worth getting if you’re under 5/24, but that really depends what other Chase cards you want to get and focus on. As always most common questions about Chase and their cards will be answered here.
Hat tip to reader Michael B for forwarding me the e-mail
