Please report back if the bonus posts.

Wanted to follow up that the initial 50,000/$2,000 posted.

I signed up for the 100,000k back in Dec. 2013 and earned the 50k in Feb. 2014 and the subsequent tiered bonuses later that year. Seems that the 2 years is by the original bonus.

After completing the spend I got a letter saying that their records show that I have taken advantage of this offer or a similar offer within the past 2 years & I'm not eligible for the bonus. New ffn

I received this today for a person who has never received the bonus before.. Points are still in his account though.

Hopefully it's some type of error. IINM it's been over 2 years since the bonus on the old ffn.

Did they dig through your account first ? Have you received a bonus within the last 24 months ?

Got one as well. I got the 50k spend bonus. It's been 25 months since the bonus same FFN. Only catch is that's it's within 24 months of the 50k additional for spending 20k, any reason to beleive I won't get the second half of this new bonus for spend?

Thanks guys, I knew I would find the answer to this disturbing postcard in the Forums. I appreciate that I didn't have to waste time on the phone with them.

No.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
