First I need to mention that I only got 35k last year, so i didn't actually double dip on 50k.
2/12/10 Applied Co
~2/19/10, Approved
3/9/10 Recived 35k
1/12/11 Closed CO card (in pre-planning of this wanted 90+ days from closure to try again)
2/11 to 4/11 Received several personal invites for 50k offer to my original CO email FF/Chase login email address despite just closing that card
This could be the single reason for the second bonus (being a unique invite, will never know)
~4/15/11 Made new FF# with my Short name (Dan vs Daniel), made address next door (Duplex I live in, mother's) and added "-2" to that address line. So the address was similar but changed like this from 536 Street name to 538-2 Street name. Changed city to the major city that we are in annexed to instead of the Beach area name that is actually part of that city . The zip stayed the same as my Chase account data and the old FF# account. Zip was only thing exactly the same, and the street name (omitted "St." on the new FF#).
~5/1/11 Changed my chase online account to "hide" the old CO account from viewing abilities. Changed the online Chase email addy from the original address (also on file with old FF# and it's where the invite was sent to) to the the addy matching the new FF#. (I may have done this after the application, can't quite remember)
~5/11 Changed my old FF# to my sisters address in California with her work phone as home and my cell phone as business (all this data never on file with chase or CO). I think I may have deleted or corrected the Passenger information to reflect my name without middle name here too. Can't remember quite.
5/11 (don't want to give exact date and tip them off) Applied again for CO but using the personal 50k invite sent to the original email that was on file for the old FF# and my chase login. That personal invite, when clicked, autopopulated my real full name, minus 1 character at the end of my name (typically happens with my long name on some systems). On this pre-invite, I put the new FF#, the new email address associated with the new FF# in and my credit info into the application. Address was already populated with my correct address.
The last 3 steps I can't remember if they are in the correct order. I mean, I think I would have changed the data on the old FF# before the application, but I'm not really sure if I did it before or after that application was submitted. It's possible I may have done it afterwards as i remember getting worried about something with the address matching too closely.
