Just noticed that they are offering 50k again
Yup, will have a link soon.
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.

I got the Premier card in March, is it possible to get t or any of the other cards again now?
I can apply for the plus card and offer to close the Premier if they give me trouble with it.

I got  my first two cards about a month ago do you think I'll be able to get approved for this offer when it's out or is it not worth another credit pull?

I got my premier a couple months ago, cleared that, and I got the plus shortly after and had chase match the last 50k offer. I am calling chase now to CL my premier onto my plus and hopefully will be able to sign up for it again. Will see.

Within a certain period of time, you can get it refunded (IME).

Yes you are correct, but only before the points clear from what iv'e learned. After the points clear (3 Mo.) the cards fee can't be refunded. Please let me know if I am wrong on that or if I can do something on the Premier card not to pay that awful $99 fee.

I believe I saw something about the 3 months. Spend and get the signup before the 3 months and then close the card. I met the spend within the first month and closed the card about a month after that.

this card works like all chase cards, if you cancel within 60 days they will refund you (of course nothing is set in stone though)

but i have heard several accounts of CSR getting really annoyed and accusing people of just abusing the system when closing SW cards immediately after getting the 50k,

 while that may mean nothing to you, i imagine that if a CSR realizes you are abusing the system you are much more likely to get A/A but that is just a theory

I just got my first 2 CCs about a month ago you think I'll get approved for a business Southwest and an Ink or is it not worth the credit pull for a definite decline?

No, I wasn't answering your question directly, I was just posting to the forum my experience if it can be helpful. For you personally, you ask what to do with regards to you just having signed up for two cards and now want to get the SW, IMO I wouldn't sign up for it just yet, but really it depends on your age, how you have been using those cards, and your history etc to determine if its really "healthy" for you. If you are younger then I would say keep it cool to begin with, keep learning and sign up for the next best card in a portfolio in a couple months. However, if you feel like you have what it takes, then absolutely, sign up for it, the pull shouldn't hurt you, especially if you do a 2bm+.

Yeah, DDF'ers have reported meeting the threshold within a month, moving off the card (however you wish to do so) and getting the points. However I think they can take away your points before the 3mo.
