It's 4 years since receiving the sign up bonus.
You have to wait 4 years since opening the first one before you can get another.
The application date or the card open date doesn't matter. What matters is the date that you received the sign-up bonus. That date is probably the closing date of the statement in which it was awarded to you.

For example, if you met the minimum spend for the sign up bonus in the first month the card was opened, the statement closing date was probably October or November 2016. If you met the minimum spend in the 3rd month that the card was opened, then the bonus may have been awarded in January or even February - again, depends on the statement closing date. You can check your first few statements in that account to know for sure.

I was planning to make the move at 60K points, but saw the new offer and that put it over the edge.

I've had a United Explorer MileagePlus card for almost 10 years. It was handy when we lived near Chicago, but we rarely fly United anymore and really don't get the maximum use of the luggage and lounge perks. Now that United Miles don't expire, I feel it's time to move on. I'm hoping to make the swap before my United annual fee hits in October.

Waiting for a decision now

Yes, I read someone mentioned in this thread. It takes couple of days to reflect a new offer for referrals.

1. The 100k/125k Plat offers are said to come and go. There is no guarantee that it will be waiting for you at any particular time. If you are open to getting a sole proprietor/small business card, the Blue Business Plus is a great $0 fee card to preserve MR points.

2. I haven't done it myself, but going off of the reports of others who have done so, it is possible to redeem United miles towards the annual fee of the Club card (not Air France (?) miles). At 1.5cpp, or $150 per 10k miles, you are left with 70k mile bonus and a $100 fee, or ~ 63k miles, $0 fee + the 5k miles from spending. The issue with that strategy is that you either need the bonus to hit on your 1st statement in order to have the miles to redeem, or otherwise have a sufficient number of United miles already, using the later arriving bonus to replenish that stockpile.
1. Thanks but am still waiting for a better alternative to skypesos.

2. Wow. So if I have 65K miles in my United account, I can use 35,000 miles towards the $525 fee (on a 1: 1.5 ration, can you confirm the ratio), and get a further 100K miles, making a total of 130,000 miles (100K new + 35K remaining on old) meaning a net incremental over my initial 65K miles............ for a net INCREMENTAL of 65K miles (65K- 35K) + 100K - 65K. So bottomline, I end up with an extra 65K miles at no cost. Correct? If yes, how great if that for exhausting a once in a lifetime card bonus benefit?

what version was the cardholder referring "FROM" to generate the code? Was it a Chase Freedom, Sapphire Reserve or Sapphire Preferred, or Chase ATM card?

Here's a link talking about the miles for annual fee redemption and the 1.5:1 ratio option: https://thepointsguy.com/news/use...nnual-fee/

Your math checks out. Keep in mind that Chase doesn't have a 'once per lifetime' bonus rule like Amex; you can get each of the United bonuses again every 24 months. Also the United club card is a Visa Infinite - and I have heard that Chase has set a minimum $15k credit limit for opening that particular card, so make sure your credit report and limits with Chase are OK for that.

If you had to select 1 of the 2 below, what would you choose assuming someone (not me) had $7K annual credit card spend, and Tier 2 status at B of A.:

1) Chase Sapphire Preferred with 80,000 points ($95 annual fee)

2) Bank of America Premium Rewards with 50,000 points ($95 fee) but would give you Tier 2 status.

I need United miles and Hyatt points, so I was going to apply for those cards on the same day and see what happened. I dont think applying for 3 cards on the same day would work, so I'll probably dump Hyatt for now and just do United and Sapphire. I have only one credit card app in the past two years so I can fit multiple chase cards under their 5/24 rule. Any thoughts on applying for multiple Chase cards on the same day?

Does, this mean that only existing Sapphire Preferred card holders can generate a referral code for others for the same card?

Sapphire Preferred, but with the following caveats: My own CC philosophy strongly prioritizes signup bonuses over category spend/earning rates, since it takes a significant amount of spend to equal a signup bonus and I apply for new cards too frequently for spend to break even; I value Chase's travel partners highly (Hyatt and Southwest particularly - though I am already sitting on 100k SW points), with the possibility of transfer to those partners making my valuation of UR points well above 1 or 1.25cpp; I don't have a significant banking relationship with BofA, and can't speak to whether having that card/tier 2 status has more significance than the increased cash back rate.

If Chase actually approves both cards, they will almost certainly close one of the cards soon after. There are many, many DP's pointing to such an outcome. If you are lucky, they will give you the choice of which one is shut down, but likely they will just pick one. No bonus, and as a special treat, the shut down card counts against you for 5/24.

Make sense for most. Thanks.

with your knowledge, you should write a primer on credit cards Smilie
