Do they ever offer more than 50k for the original $2k spend ?

Why in the world would you think they would suddenly approve you for the BA again if they weren't OK with you having both in the first place and their mind didn't change after Recon? Did you ask if you could split the CL at all?

It's officially 24 months from the bonus and in your case you never got the bonus, so if you're approved, you'll get the bonus.

But we still don't know if the last 25k of the 50k/25k/25k offer is considered a bonus for this purpose.... Anyone have experience
Bump.  Anyone here apply w/o new FFN within 2 years of getting extra bonus for spending 20k (but outside of 2 years since initial bonus)?
