US Airways, Switch To Paperless Statements & Receive $25 Statement Credit

[AJK]

Oh please. Chase gives 70K for an Ink so that they could get your precious 5K spend and cancel right away? They hope you'll use the card for a very long time. As most card holders do.
Why is signing up for a card with intent to churn different than signing up for e-statements with intent to revert to paper?

Maybe it's because you won't cross the line for $25, but for 70K UR, that's something else.

You, too, seem to love making assumptions. Who says I make my spend and cancel right away? I do not, FTR.

I do think signing up, getting the bonus, and cancelling before the AF hits is over the line.

As I said, their hope is that you use the card until your old and gray, but their hope is not determinative and signing up for a card is not a blood contract that you'll never cancel.

The equivalent here is signing up for e-statements solely for the $25 with the intention of immediately changing back once the credit posts. It is similarly over the line. Doesn't matter whether its $25 or $2500.

So, please stop projecting your unethical opinions on me as if they're mine.

[AJK]

Dear Mr AJK. I apologize if my post was offensive towards you.
I hope you forgive me.
I hope to meet you one day in person and maybe on one of the beaches of the world.

I deem you forgiven. <taps sceptre on head>

If you get a tattoo, I'll know it's you on the beach. Just make sure to put it on your forehead.

Chase gives a signup bonus as an incentive to use their card, which I do.

Are you saying you never signed up for a card solely for the bonus?

[AJK]

Are you saying you never signed up for a card solely for the bonus?

No, I'm not saying that. Not even sure how that quote could even imply differently.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

No, I'm not saying that. Not even sure how that quote could even imply differently.

I did not want to make any assumptions so I thought I would ask.
On my ethical scale rapeing them for a 50-70k bonus is a lot worse then this $25 but my ethics are a lot different then most. 

[AJK]

Worse? Of course, but it's a difference in degree, not in kind.

Just spoke to Barclay's. They said any Barclay's card quality for the $25 paperless statements credit. No need to register.
 But I sent a secure message. On the us air card they confirmed that I will get it. And on the arrival they said that they don't see it.  But I enrolled anyway. I can always go back to regular statements

This is a reply I got from customer service via email when I asked if the offer is only on us airways card or on all barclays cards

This is to confirm that the promotion for $25.00 statement credit for enrolling in the paperless statements is eligible only to US Airways Dividend Miles World MasterCard accounts. We hope you find this information helpful.

Interesting. That's the second report of someone receiving it. Anyone else?
I haven't seen anything yet.

I have 2 U S AIR cards -- did both paperless -- got the $25 today on only one of them --(so far)-- did the sign up minutes apart and spent 25 on each card minutes apart

Why is everyone assuming the need for a $25 spend?

[SPLP]

Why is everyone assuming the need for a $25 spend?

because easy to do -if i spent 1 cent and got the 25.00 credit would still need to spend the 24.99 why not just pay a bill for the 25 and be done ,  -nice and easy for me this way

[eli.f]

They're not. Just for convenience.

You can always SM and they'll mail you a check for the negative balance. But spending $25 is easier.

[SPLP]

a lot of work to get 24.99 check - like we said -we did it the easy way --

if i had spending on my card then the so called 24.99 could be used as a partial payment

Don't know about you, but I spend less than half a minute writing the SM and another half to deposit the check from my mobile. For me, that's easier than buying something, as it's shorter and I can do it all from bed

do not time myself-- i just paid a bill on line -- i would guess about same amount of time and I too can do it in bed-

[benjie1305]

Just spoke to them and she said she can see I did the spend and it will show as credit 6-8 weeks after the promotion is over a.k.a after December 31st.

[shimino1]

Just my luck.
Yesterday I SM'd to close my U.S air account and today when I loged on I saw the offer for 25$ and also that my card was cancelled.
