Just a heads up. Not sure if I can link to the app on this site but you should be able to find it. To anyone who apped recently, call and they will add the points to your account. YMMV I did not find this deal just sharing the love so...get it while you can this could expire soon. Sorry not meant to be spam

$350? I just got them to bump up my signup bonus from $200 to $300, I wonder if I could get them to up it to the $350.

50 bucks is 50 bucks. Worth a try.

Probably too late if you got the card in December.. they told me 90 days when I contacted them.

I see that your account is enrolled to receive 20,000
points, once you make purchases worth $500 in the first 93
days. The recent 30,000 points offer was promoted online
and you contacted us within 90 days from your account open
date. Therefore, I can update the new offer on your
account.

That was last month when I contacted them, since when I signed up I didn't notice the $300 offer, so I went under the $200. They gave me the points balance as soon as I hit the $500 purchase limit and messaged them back.

I contacted them to ask if they'll bump me up to the $350 offer, since it's still within the 90 day window. We'll see what they say. $50 is worth me spending a few minutes sending them a secure message.

I applied in early February, and got $100. Within a couple of weeks, I got them to bump that to $200. $350? Just submitted the request I'll let you know how it goes.

Shady. The offer was up on the Chase site last night, now it's "offer unavailable". I should have taken a screenshot.

Yeah, I used the link and *know* what it said. I even cut and paste the first sentence into my post. Now, I have no proof. I hope they uphold their end of the bargain. I've never heard of a CC offer coming and going so quickly.

I sent the URL in the message. The URL was a valid Chase-hosted URL... I'll bet it was a very special offer for a very specific market segment that's just been moved... Regardless, they've already matched on of them, and even it was pretty generous, so I'm not complaining much... Just a grumble.
