I canceled without a problem but it was after a year.

[moe]

after 7 months is for sure fine, anyone else canceled within less time than that?

While at it, was anyone who got the Biz bonus last year able to get it again this year?

[Monsey]

I cancelled on the 180th day after i opened the account no problems

I did.  I had to call up though - twice - until they finally posted.

What did you say when you called?

[Dan]

What did you say when you called?

"Show me the miles!"

[Avid Reader]

"Show me the miles!"

But they'll say "you got them last year"?

[Dan]

But they'll say "you got them last year"?

Doubtful.

We had seven accounts at our house (personal and biz).  I recently cancelled six of them after 6 months with no problem as to miles or fees -- BUT my local Chase banker did not get his commission (he is ).  Apparently the account needs to stay open 8 months for commission.  Since I hope to do business again next January , I'm leaving the seventh account open a couple more months.

[Devorah]

Doubtful.

Actually, they said that I already got in 2010 as the miles from the 2009 account posted in 2010.  But I explained it to them and they said they would look into it.  No one ever got back to me so I called again and this time they posted.

if they didnt get theres I wonder if those who post the Link on their sites get their commission if its closed after 6 months but before the 8th

i emailed chase to get the fees back for the 2 debit cards that i gor for this offer and they said they would only give back the money if i downgrade the card. I have gotten all 50,000 miles for this. can i downgrade now or should i wait till 6 months are over?

I opened a personal checking online and funded it with a Sapphire card and it posted as a cash advance!  I called up and played dumb and they refunded the 3% fee, but now I don't think the $500 will count towards my $3,000 threshhold for the Sapphire card, will it?  The transaction is still listed as a cash advance on my account activity online.

[Dan]

but now I don't think the $500 will count towards my $3,000 threshhold for the Sapphire card, will it?

Nope.
And now we have the first report of a Chase card posting as a cash advance.

   <---- This is a sad face.  Now I guess I will really have to buy some GCs.  And Dan, I posted a question for you yesterday on this board if you haven't seen it yet.

[golan]

if i already have a checking account,before this offer was around. can i open another one and get the bonus?

[elikay]

Sure, at one point I had 4 accounts open.
