For some reason, when I log in, they have a message that says that they have me as under 18, and therefore I can't purchase, LOL. Nevermind the thousands of miles earned from CCs that couldn't be opened if my SS# confirmed I was under 18.

I'll have to call them to straighten that out at some point, but what's the cost per mile with the 50% bonus? I'm sure it's still bad, but how bad?

simple
its such a good deal, they dont want to go under bc too many take advantage of it. so by establishing many account holders as under 18, they limit their exposure

Wife is also listed as under 18. I think if you have the account from Chase CC then they don't carry over your DOB. Checked in my wife's account for personal details and there was no age info there.
