Just auto-approved for my 2nd card after reducing other credit lines and did spend. Had 1st US card for 3 yrs. If I didnt cancel other US card first, will the new card be, er... pointless

CMIIW, but is seems that all those that we're instantly approved for a 2nd card, got the 1st one a long time ago.
I guess the systems only sees it as a duplicate if it was issued recently.

I charged about 20$ to my card. With the refund of 25$ the bill came out to be like 87$ which I paid (this included the AF and the credit and a purchase). It comes out then that I didn't pay the 89$ due to the credit. Do I actually have to pay 89 or does the credit count too?

It seems so.

Is it so difficult to spend another $2 and pay it?

No big deal. Just that the next statement already posted and now I'm wondering if I have to spend 2$ pay it and then wait again evict will probably put me out of the 60 day AF refund time frame. Think giving them a call will do it? Maybe they'll manually deposit the miles.

Doubt it.
But call now, before your statement closes, and change the closing date of your NEXT statement to say, next week. (Usually, they won't let you change the current closing date, so you have to change it before it starts)
That way, you'll have another statement closing soon.

I got 1st card in August and second in December (instant approval). Consider that a long time?

I hear. Maybe that's long enough. I got the 1st in September and couldn't get another since. Or maybe it's just pure luck and has nothing to do with that.

If it is in your US Airways acct, it will stay there.

I don't believe they can take it away from you.

They sure can. There was also 2-3 reports on FT, IIRC.

Fair enough. Couldn't find anything though. It's a vague memory. Probably better if I delete my post

Never the less, I'm sure they have the ability.

Just another data point:

Got the card in October for 40K, called today and had them match to the 50k offer. First rep told me no no blah blah, spoke with manager, was super nice, so nice I had him match the wife's card also

Now time to downgrade and get new ones...

ual902 · « **Reply #2599 on:** February 19, 2015, 02:17:26 PM »

Just called to get the annual fee waived, they offered to downgrade to the arrivals card, which I declined, so how are you guys getting the AF waived? what are you telling CS on how to get the annual waved? is it HUCA?
