I signed up for the Chase Marriott card together with a United card before midnight last night and received email confirmation on the 25th saying it would take 30 days..
For some reason it did not appear in their system until 4 hours ago, so as far as they see I only applied on August 26th. So when I called to have my card approved she read me some disclosure telling me that I won't qualify for the bonus, because I currently have the spg amex card (that I want to keep).
She asked me if she wants me to put it through because I WON'T get the bonus.
1- What does that question mean? Wasn't my credit already pulled?
2- is there a way for me to get the bonus, since I really applied and received the emails on the 25th?
3- do I really have the ability to tell them I don't want any of the 2 applications, and then I won't have any pulls?
4- do I go ahead with United and tell them to close Marriott, or keep both since it's one pull?
Please help me figure this out.
Thanks all.
