This time it worked this way: upon activating my card, I told the rep "I know my business colleague got the same card about the same time I applied, but he didn't need to spend $10k, just $5k for 50k. And you know... Ha ha... Its a ridicules amount to spend in 3 month, would you like to match me?"
This rep was totally dumb, he didn't even know the concept of matching, so I asked for a supervisor who have me the typical response that he'll fwd it to the marketing dept. And yesterday, my 25k posted!
