How do Miles work??
« on: November 30, 2015, 09:11:20 PM »
This may have been asked 1,000 times already so i apologize in advance. I opened the SP Chase card. The bonus was $4K for 50,000 points. I put on 10K already. Where do the miles start from? Do i get 50,000 points for the first $4K and then only $6K in points for a grand total of 56,000 points? Or do i get 60,000 points. I hope I made this easy to understand. TIA

50k is the bonus. You should have 60k or more. Make sure to get an au in the first 3 months for an additional 5k points.

The 50K is a bonus.  You'll still earn 10K for the spend, more if you spent on categories that earn double points such as travel or restaurants.

I got an AU on the account. Do they need to actually spend and if so how much?

IIRC no need to, it's the same 16 digits as the primary.

Member since 2011 doesn't mean anything, not sure how much of a miles maven forum it was then. The nice responses are refreshing. Maybe a backdated account helps.
@jayhal Welcome (back)!
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

You are why people create an alternate ego here.
I've been here a year and dont know much about miles and such.
I'm not who you think I am.

Open your eye and you'll see and not have to ask questions...
People are just lazy to look around so they decide to create a thread and violate the rules of the forum...

I read and I read and I read. Going thru 1.1M posts is quite hard.
