Our Verdict
Great deal if you able to get this card, keep in mind it falls under the Chase 5/24 rule. This offer becomes better when you pair it with the 60,000 bonus on the Business card giving you a total of 110,000 points – enough for a companion pass. The current public bonus is the same but without the $100 statement credit.
Hat tip to reader M
Can i apply for 2 chase personal cards on same day (I am at 4/24) and be approved? If yes, will both credit pulls be combined by chase into one Hardpull and show up as 5/24 on my credit report or it’ll be 6/24?
I am thinking of applying for Chase southwest personal and either chase hyatt or chase IHG today on same day.
PLease advise if it is wise to do so, as i can get 2 cards at 4/24 (but also want to make sure, when chase reports to credit bureaus, it will be 5/24 as pulls will be combined to one inquiry) and not show as 6/24.
I’ll add one more DP of unsuccessfully trying to get this offer matched. I had recently applied for the 50k Plus card without the $100 credit, and the SM response said my account was ineligible for this offer.
Would I be able to give this promotion to my wife? I am over 5/24 but she is not. Will same household have any sway?
I was approved for the 50k/$2k offer on 1/7. I requested a match to this offer via SM and was denied.
I received this offer but I am > 5/24 🙁
Received the same offer yesterday and then did SM with chase to see if they can match- but they denied point blank stating my account is not eligible for the offer , though shared email proof but they did not budge.
I applied for this card just some time back(on Jan 9th , approved on 12th and received card yesterday 18th) using a referral link.
Is it because I have not yet met the initial purchase?Anyone having similar experience where chase did not match- any other alternatives?
I recently applied for the plus card without the $100 credit. I’m going to SM them to see if they will match.
Chase said they would not match for me, but I did not receive the targetted e-mail offer. It might be because I used a referral link, but I don’t know.
I received the exact offer yesterday. But i am >5/24. Do i still have luck?. Do chase even offer with 5/24 exception?.
Not unless it’s a pre-approved offer and they don’t do those for SW
Thanks.
Received something similar yesterday but it was for 60000 points but no $100:-(
That’s actually better. 10000 SW points > $100
Wish they had these now
