Right, but elsewhere (multiple places), I've seen mention of 8/8 in the AM, so I'm asking Dan to clarify.
Officially the end time is 7:59am EDT on 08/08.
I would recommend applying today though as ya' never know exactly when they'll pull it.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

You think they might pull it before the official end time?

When do I pay the annual fee, right away or at the end of the year (so I can cancel before then and still get the points)?

That's strange. The link is indeed no longer showing the deal.

But I "browsed all cards" and found the SW offer. Seems to be alive and well. Unless there are diff. terms that I didn't notice.

Definitely looks like the same offer. Interesting that that app is still alive, but I don't think it'll last for long.

It's gone off Southwest.com so I bet Chase's website will be next...

Yup.

BTW, anyone have any details (and/or fine print) on the 'up to 15k on balance transfers' part of the 50k offer?

"Maximum point accumulation on balance transfers is 15,000 points during the first 90 days, which equates to $15,000 in balance transfers"

So, you called twice for the same card? Even after getting initially denied?

Did the second rep know you had called in before? What did you tell him?

...I need to do this for a Chase Hyatt who initially did not approve it...

And if they say anything... What are you so afraid of, with a denial you don't have much to lose...

Me? Afraid? Noooo. (Well, at least not of Chase reps :P)

I was told my "denial" was changed to a "pending" and I would hear in a couple weeks. Just dont want to call again if it will jeopardize my chances of approval.

Forgive the redundance if this was answered before, but I just wanna be positive that ill be able to keep the 50000 points even if I close the card. I know its been established with other cards that the points are safe, but does this ring true with chase southwest too? The rep was adamant that ill lose my points but they are often wrong
