Chase Freedom Bonus upped from $100 to $200

I applied for chase freedom.  i was denied.   then denied for recon too.   i called back once more and asked them to pull another bureau because my util changed.   they approved me this time.   upon approval, they stated, i would be getting $100 cash back after spending $500.  but....after reading on myfico.com that others had luck getting the bonus upped, i insisted that i applied for the $200 bonus.   i kept it polite and spoke of fairness.  she said she'd put it through and see what she could do but no promises.   anywho, today, on my chase.com page i noticed there was 10,000 points for $100 in my account.   this is after only one charge of 11.88.   upon inspection, i noticed the 10,000 points werel listed under 'adjustments'.    anywho, i think i just lucked out and got another free hundred, withought even spending the $500!    Thank you myfico forums.

Can't really say you lucked out because i signed up for $200 version and found a $300 version the next day and they manually credited me the extra 10,000 points ($100) before i even received the card.

 

There is a $300 offer valid right now which i think you can get it adjusted to IF it's been under 90 days since you were originally approved.

Just an FYI, for those who this matters to

 

APR ranges

$100CB:

11.99-22.99

$200CB

15.99-22.99

$300CB

17.99-22.99

 

That's the "gocha" the more CB you get, the higer of a minumum APR you may receive.

Nice! Was this a mailed offer? I got one with $300 cash back and 12.99% APR.

You could also send a secured message via your Chase online login to request the extra bonus points to get a total of $300 cash back. I've heard of many success stories.
