I recently signed up again for the southwest premier cc to get another 50,000 bonus.

Then just yesterday I received a postcard letter from chase stating " the terms and conditions associated with the new account state that the premium is only available to new card members. Since our records show that you have taken advantage of this offer or a similar offer within the past 2 years, your account is not eligible to receive the premium. If you have any questions etc..."

The letter is correct; I had a card only a few months prior and got the 50k. I was unaware of this policy when signing up this 2nd time (although when I went back to the application screen and it does mention it in the fine print).

My question is:   Has anyone had this problem? Did I make some rookie mistake when I signed up? (I did use the same RR#) Is this a general issue when signing up for cc bonuses more than once? How can you get around it?

I called chase and spoke with a few people but no luck. My next option is to fax them a letter. Is it worth it?

Please advice oh masters of the forum!

If you got the letter, I would assume that it's on your account and you won't get the bonus again.

Well is there any way to get it again? I mean I'm sure many people have signed up a 2nd time. In fact this last time the deal was posted people were talking about getting it again. How did they? Did I just get "lucky"?

No. They used a new RR#.

Well as of the date I received the letter I did meet the 2k spending threshhold, but I guess I needed to use a new RR# as was posted. If there is anyway I can still get some points please advice. I'll probably send chase a letter anyway and see what happens, maybe they'll throw me a bone!

Did your statement already close since you met the spending threshold?

not necessarily true. Most of the time you can churn SW with the same RR# although it is advisable to make a new one. I just got another two SW's for both me and my wife last month. We have both had both premier and plus twice previously on mine i made a new RR# on hers i forgot and she still got 50K on both.

Just reminding you, you can't transfer directly UR to SW rather, UR to HGP to SW.
