Our Verdict
I think this bonus is only available if you received the targeted promotion, so I wouldn’t expect to get the bonus 2,000 points if you haven’t received that. In addition to that, it’s actually possible to get a much better bonus on this card. A lot of people have reported that they were able to get an offer of 80,000 points + a $50 statement credit which is vastly superior.
Personally I wouldn’t bother with this 72,000 point offer as chances are you won’t get the additional 2,000 points anyway.
