Something about a fork.
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

Do you have another active MR earning card, or is the card with the bonus offer your only currently active card?
yes I do,
ECCA :) . Keep it going
I HUCA'd  and ECCA'd and  a few rep tried but they all said that the system doesn't allow them to accelerate the spending points because it will automatically accelerate the bonus points.
but I am now under a FR so maybe it has to do with this?
If it benefits even just one fellow DDFer, its worth posting it.

You currently have points in your account, and the bonus points are pending?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

no, the account is empty, but its not a new MR account and the bonus points were already pending before the statement closed.

It's not about the MR account being old or new when it comes to the bonus points posting right away. It's dependant on points currently being in the account . If there are no points then the bonus will pend . If the card is currently paid up I would keep on chatting .

I had an account with a small mr balance. Just logged in and see that they recently clawed back 75K (not sure what it was from) and now I have a balance of -72,850. Are they charging for negative balances? Any reason for me to keep this account open or should I just close?

You can get the upgrade bonus even if you've received the sign-up bonus previously.

Thanks! I just HUCA'd again and now I was told that once I pay up my balance they will accelerate all the points.

If you get a targeted upgrade offer, check the terms.

How long should the $200 travel credit take to post on my account if I made an eligible purchase?
