My recent attempt at double dipping.........

Dear MosheP,

Thank you for your follow up email.

We reviewed the application you submitted in August 2012
and have confirmed that you will receive 40,000 points
after you have spent $3,000 within the first 93 days the
account is opened.

Although we are going to honor the $2,000 spend, we regret
that we have no way to remove the original offer from your
account. Our records show that you are currently at
$2,924.77 spend which is $75.23 dollars short from meeting
the original terms of your Enrollment Bonus Offer. In
order to prevent duplicate rewards being added to your
account we ask that you allow until after the 93 day time
frame is up which is 11/22/12.


If you have any further questions, please reply using the
Secure Message Center.

Thank you,
Manwho Thwartedmy Attempts

Spending $2925 certainly did not help your cause.

There is always the possibility to get a really dumb rep who will match old offers.

Has anyone ever been matched to a better offer over the phone? I know, I'm so old fashioned who even uses that outdated technology any more. :P But seriously, is the only way to SM?

Where is the link for the MC? On this page http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=8028.0 the visa leads to an application, but the mc leads to a "browse for cards" page.

Re: How to churn Sapphire Preferred?

I've had an SP visa for nearly a year. The fee is coming before the 7% bonus.

a) I don't want to pay the fee
b) I want the 7% bonus
c) I want the SP sign up bonus again (40k).

What would experienced DDFers recommend be my plan of action to ensure meeting all 3 objectives?

If I convert my Visa now to WMC and reapply for Visa, then convert the WMC to a non-preferred SP to avoid the fee, would I still get the 7% on that original account?

Any help appreciated, thanks!

There's a way to try for all three, but you have to get really lucky twice...

Try to get a retention bonus of 5k or more to mitigate the annual fee. Then, try to get another SP without closing this one (will be harder to do now that there's no WMC linky).

In any case, it'll take some pretty neat acrobatics to get another SP while keeping this one, and get the signup bonus to post beofre 12/31/2012 (so you earn the signup bonus on those 40k as well).
