Let me ask this one again, if my last bonus on this card has been more then 24 months ago, but card has only been canceled like 4 months ago I should still qualify for a new bonus, right? and no new FFN should be necessary ?

I'm not sure if the 24 month rule applies to the bonus only or to active card accounts in the past 24 months....

I booked a domestic award flight in Feb 14 for Jan 15, and paid the taxes with my card to get the free baggage. I then canceled the card in May 14. My tickets were reissued in Jun with a changed itinerary due to one flight being canceled, and I noticed that in my new itinerary it showed charges for the first bag, even though it still showed the taxes being charged to the Explorer card. Now in Aug 2014 I signed up for a new card (under a diff FFN) which I will merge with my current card once I get the points. My question is, what will happen in Jan 15 when I get to the airport, and what do I say to the agent if there's an issue. I still have my old card and itinerary showing that the taxes were charged to it. Thanks.

Why not follow the wiki and create a new FFN?

Just called Chase, rep checked with her manager and got back saying that the 24 month rule applies to the day when the card was closed and has nothing to do with when you've received the last sign-up bonus.... so that mean another 2 years wait for me on this card

That's not what their terms state.
"This new cardmember bonus offer is not available to either (i) current cardmembers of this consumer credit card, or (ii) previous cardmembers of this consumer credit card who received a new cardmember bonus for this consumer credit card within the last 24 months."

That's exactly what I said... but she insisted that the terms on their website are misleading

To find another incompetent rep?

These reps aare known to give negative answers on these kind of questions.

Why not apply with a new FFN?

Dan · « **Reply #3310 on:** August 25, 2014, 06:01:47 PM »

Didn't read, was assuming we're talking about post-facto.

Either way the language online is very clear and not at all misleading. They will stand behind it.

So then its just a case of DROPR and once the card is closed in a few months it would be safe to apply and open a new one according to the terms of the card using a new FFN?

The $25K needs to be in calendar year or my membership year?

Quote from: Super Speed on August 03, 2014, 10:51:56 PM

Every calendar year.

Anyone ever try asking for bonus for 25k in membership year?
