All the links are dead now except Personal Plus and Business Plus.

It's been 60 days since my 2BM with Chase, if I did a 2BM for P Plus/B Plus SW would that be pushing it you think?

Approval date shouldn't make a difference, as long as the app you used had the offer you should be fine.
Ya it should go that way but it's always good to have proof that you signed up in time...

I just tried creating a new FFN for SW and it won't let me? It combined it immediately with my old FFN?

I thought Dan said the trick to churning SW was creating a new FFN?

I hope it's possible without a new FFN. I just did the SW and didn't think to make a new FFN. Last time I did it the miles showed up within hours of the billing cycle closing. It's been a week or two and still no miles.
I have an SM from chase after i opened the card confirming that I'd get the miles. I SMed two days ago asking about the miles that haven't shown up and still no response.

Hoping I'm fine since I have an SM saying I'd get the miles.

If I opened two cards for 50k each, one personal and one business, each one under a different Rapid Reward numbers, will merging them into one account work towards the 110k total for free companion pass?
Thanks.

Can someone please answer? ???

I did a 2bm on both southwest personal cards (50k each about a week ago when the link was still alive) ... checked status on the phone for the past 5 days and got the we will respond in 2 weeks deal (thinking 2 weeks is good 7-10 business days bad) ... just went to chase.com and saw that a southwest card has been added (only 1) ...
I called to check status and the first card still said 2 weeks .. and second app said congratulations...

Does this mean I was denied and should call RECON .. or do they sometimes delay one card at a time... ? 

Also , any suggestions on what to say to Recon .. considering there is no advantage on having one card over the other...

I read that Dan mentionined maybe to say one card is used exclusively for medical expenses.. just wanted to see if anyone else has been in this scenario?
Pleas hold. Your call will be answered in the order it was received.

It doesn't .. still says 2 weeks.. I just thought it was odd that they weren't approved and didn't show up online at the same time... Never seen this before.. I was wondering if this is a-typical.

It's already two weeks (approx) since my first billing cycle closed with a bill more than 2k (the min spend) for my new SW CC, and I don't see any miles. I didn't make a new SW account, and I have done this card before but I got an SM from chase confirming that I'd get the sign-up bonus.
I SMed last week on Monday then again Wednesday asking about the sign up bonus but no response. Is there a number that it would be kedai for me to call, or should I just hang tight and wait for the SM response?
I want to cash out for amazon credit and then close the card in time to get the annual fee refunded, so I can't wait forever.

If i reach the $2,000 spend threshold today and my next CC statement is in January, will the 50,000 bonus points count toward 2013 companion pass? IOW points were earned in 2012 but will post in 2013...
Anyone here have experience with this scenario?

I'm unsure i imagine that their focus is "earned" but why risk it? just spend 1999 this month and one dollar next...

I apped for the 50k SW Personal Plus and got approved for the Visa Platinum with 2k CL, will that affect my ability to get the 50k bonus if I wasn't approved for the Visa Signature version?

Will opening 3 cards a personal, Sole, and business EIN with one FFN work to get free companion pass?

IME it went by the posting date: My two 50k bonuses (personal and biz) posted in January 2012 and counted toward 2012 CP.

I'm not sure you can have a biz sole prop and a biz EIN simultaneously.
