HELP.

I still have the $95 Continental Airlines OnePass Plus card. I purchased a United ticket for my son to Israel several weeks ago and am about to do the same for my daughter. I called to upgrade the card to the Club card and add my kids as authorized users so they could benefit from the free second bag. The Chase person said – it wont help your kids if you arent traveling with them.

Any and all advice is very much appreciated.

I apologize for asking "dumb" questions as I am a huge novice at this.

We don't listen to reps. It's been done by just showing the card

Thanks Mr. JEWDA!

So you would "recommend" going for it?

My challenge is two kids going to Israel. Two bags there and back. Minimum charge for extra baggage $400.

Cost for card $395-95. Seems like considering this alone - makes sense?!?!

I appreciate your patience with a novice!

Yes go for it and add them as AU's
How old are they?

How quickly do you think I could get the cards. My son is traveling next Tuesday!

Also, do you think I could get any relief on the annual fee?

You should be able to get them before then.
It's free to send a SM to chase so why not try to get it waived.

Okay will do! I will update you on my progress!

Why don't you reply to responses to your questions instead of posting from scratch again and again?

So you've never had a successful AmEx 2BM where both were automagically approved?

Just got a second pull for 3/BM, the first one was last week and yesterday another one, I'm still waiting on the third.

Sapphire Preferred offer will be changing Monday morning. No further details yet.

Prefered?

Yes.

meshugener · « **Reply #2594 on:** August 16, 2012, 03:53:29 PM »

Oh my god, maybe they noticed the Sapphire went very slow since they lowered the signup bonus to 40k, so they decided to raise it back to 50k?
Will see tomorrow.

Why will you see tomorrow?
And that's highly unlikely, but even if it was you should apply now because they'll match you within 90 days...

Wouldn't that work either way (i.e. if I apply on Tuesday and the bonus is less they'll match me to the current 40k because it's within 90 days)?

AJK · « **Reply #2597 on:** August 16, 2012, 04:54:52 PM »

Retroactive matching? I doubt it.

Dan · « **Reply #2598 on:** August 16, 2012, 05:01:43 PM »

Way harder to match an expired offer than a current offer.

meshugener · « **Reply #2599 on:** August 16, 2012, 06:09:28 PM »

I consider both of of them easy, with the only difference between 1 or 2-3 SMs.
