I remember reading somewhere on DDF such a story on a different Chase card, was told that they'll appprove him if he agree to give up on the bonus, he said okay, then he did the spending and got the bonus automatically without any need to ask for it.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

MMV (my miles varied)
 I PUTPAC asking them to convert my SP visa to a mastercard and I was told that you need to have had the card for a year.  No problem, I HUCA and got the same answer two more times.  The fourth time I got someone who was sympathetic who told me she would make a request and they would let me know in 2 weeks.  The fifth time the rep told me, "Yes, I see you already made a request- we'll let you know"
At that point I gave up :(

Yea I agree.

I personally am comfortable to push to a certain point and then I will leave it alone.

My whole mehalech since I got into this (thanks Dan!!) is slow and steady, nothing on impulse, very conservative.

I've done really well!

How would that help ? I applied already for the sapphire and currently have a sapphire so I could only have 1- they dont care that one is MC & other Visa.

Never believe a CS rep. I just hung up the phone with recon and had a second SP opened.

Simple, I need both cards for international use (no forex fee) and some stores only take visa and only MCW covers car rental ins. in Israel.

Did anyone try spending 3k on the converted MC to see if it would give you the bonus again?

I currently have the SP visa, has anyone applied for the sapphire card directly from the mastercard.com link and gotten approved for the SP mastercard?
