Author Topic: Continental Up to 60,000 Bonus Miles. Plus Priority Boarding & Free Checked Bags (Read 23933 times)

spetropo · « **on:** November 30, 2011, 08:35:00 AM »

Hi All,
Noob here

Anyone get this, is it worth to apply for this? I am considering this and also the SPG Amex so I can transfer to CO.
Also is the SPG Amex revolving or does the balance need to be paid at the end of the month.
Thanks everyone.
S

Which card is that?

Dan · « **Reply #3 on:** November 30, 2011, 12:41:10 PM »

It's the famous targeted 50K offer.
Anyone can apply for the 30K CO offer or the 30K UA offer and match to it.
One bonus per lifetime of a mileage number...

Would the three browser method work for 150k miles?

Wife got same offer and the sixty part is a scam cause anyone who has the card can get ten k for spending twenty five k in a year so all that's good is the fifty. To that Dan already made the point that you can apply for thirty and sm chase.

For CO+UA+Sapphire/Ink Bold? Sure.

If I would like to wait to apply for a United card until after the programs merge, will I be precluded from receiving a bonus if I already got the CO bonus? This is assuming that the CO and United mileage account numbers will be the same

So you can apply for the 30K and ask them to match to the Targeted offer of 50K? Has anyone been successful with that?

Any ideas on whether you can get the bonus again if you cancel your mileage number?

It can be done.

unfortunately your not the only one that misunderstood. I know someone that applied for 3 of the same card and got approved, and only received 1 card.
