Not good, the $500 cash with 30/40k miles is a much better bonus, I wish I could replicate this but I always get the $500 statement credit with 30k miles.

Try switching on a VPN and using your location as socal on a dummy booking.

Agreed, the $500 is much better. There's a reason skymiles are also called skypesos.

@bluzcluz, you missed adding the $100 hotel benefit. This reduces the effective AF to around $50.

Thanks, yeah, tried everything. Ever since the $400+40k disappeared, I get the $500/30k no matter what and I tried every combination others posted on doc. It doesn't matter anyway right now, I'm in popup jail. Smilie

If you have old eyes and a small screen, this looks like another Costco gold deal. Just like the PAMP Statue of Liberty.

Once per lifetime card? Last time I applied for this card, pop up said I'm not eligible for the SUB.

I was able to get an offer for 50k Skymiles/$500 statement credit by placing an order for a dummy ticket. Attachment is a screenshot of the offer.

Wow, I had to do emergency travel and I got measly $400 and 30k points which I thought was good deal..now I know how bad of the offer I got.
Now I am trying to find ways to use the measly 30k miles but I am getting a measly 0.7c per mile..
what do I do now?
