Is it not worth it that much to not include it in a 3bm?

The spend req on the Ink Plus is 10k in 3 months, between that and Sapphire I'll have my hands full trying to meet it.

Guess it's Sapphire + Ink Plus instead for me

IME, personal cc + business cc = 2 pulls

I have my EX frozen and having them pull EQ or TU which have 0 inqs and 3 inqs respectively, so 2 pulls wouldn't bother me much.

Not sure. But you can open a new account and transfer in 1,000 points and the 55,000 point offer should appear. Just in case you're interested.

Does this still apply?

I just opened my account, and the 30k offer showed up. If I transfer some miles in from my Sapphire account, is that the way to bring up the 55k offer?

No it's gone. Unless you're one of the lucky targeted ones.

Gone as in cannot be matched to anymore?

FWIW, I got the 50k bonus this week (+ another 5k for adding a AU) as well as the $50 statement credit (which they actually issued twice). It took a lot of back and forth with SM, and I provided a screenshot that I got off DDF.

What day did you request the match

David S · « **Reply #448 on:** October 11, 2012, 11:07:27 PM »

I kept insisting that others got it after their first spend.

They were responding that it is no longer active, and that they can't do. I just kept assuming that they didn't understand my request and asked again. Eventually it was "referred" to somebody else who came through.

does this mean i lost the 30k sign up as well? is it worth trying to send another message? try the HUCA method over the phone? any advice?

@arid
Did you enter a new ff# when you applied?

compddd · « **Reply #451 on:** October 18, 2012, 10:05:33 AM »

Arid if you didn't apply with a new FFN then you're SOL.

If you applied with a new FFN, then you'll probably get the 30k automatically despite what the rep said.

i do not think i typed in any FF# on the app.
also does anyone have a recourse to such a letter?

Nope, you're out of luck

A friend of mine mentioned that you could go into a Chase branch and they have the offer for 50k + 5k for adding an AU. I think there is a real spend for the points

All links are now dead for this looks like

New offer is 30k after 1k spend and 5k after adding AU

The 65k offer doesn't even show up anymore in peoples mileage plus accounts that have miles in them.

This is still alive. Here are the steps.
1. Open a new mileage plus account.
2. Transfer 1000 miles from UR account.
3. Login to your new mileage plus account.
4. You may not see 65k link. You may still see only 30k link.
5. You press following link now, while you are logged in to your new account.

I did it. It opened new browser with all familiar 65k link. It worked for me. If you do steps not mentioned above, it may not open the same link.

Good luck !!!

The UA 55k offer is now available only if you go into a Chase branch and apply in person.
