What CC to add to Chase Sapphire Preferred
« on: August 20, 2019, 12:09:47 PM »
Hi All,

1.  I received the Chase Sapphire Preferred with 50,000 miles about 2 weeks before the sign-up bonus rose to 60,000.  I called asking for the extra 10,000 but was told they don't give it.  Anything I can do?

2.  I want to maximize miles/benefit to fly to Israel.  What second CC should I apply for considering the airlines that fly between US and Israel?  I have to make a decision within a couple of days.

3.  Should I apply for a third cc as well?

All advise and (reasons) welcome.

Thanks all!

1. did you try to SM? did you HUCA?
2. Chase 100k United Business, Chase 80k Ink Preferred, Chase 50k Reserve, Chase 40k United
If it benefits even just one fellow DDFer, its worth posting it.

Thanks Yosef.  Pardon my ignorance, what's, SM/HUCA?
I reread the new offer.  Seems first year is now no longer free, so they added 10,000 Miles but are charging for the first year.  I guess I can't have it both ways?

I applied earlier today for the Freedom Unlimited.  I hope that is a good choice.

Welcome to DDF!
SM is sending chase a Secure Message via your online account, and HUCA is a very useful tool: Hang Up Call Again

If you spend 20k on your new Freedom Unlimited, you will get 60k UR points which is not bad.
