I signed up for an Ink Plus (60k points, first year’s annual fee NOT waived) and a Southwest card (50k points, first year’s annual fee NOT waived) on the same day (since I heard signing up for multiple Chase cards on the same day makes it so they only run your credit once). They denied my Southwest card but approved my Ink Plus card.

A few days later I received something in the mail offering 60k points and annual fee waived for an Ink Plus account. I think they sent it automatically after being denied the Southwest card but that’s just a hunch. Anyway, it had a personal invitation code on it and offer code. I was able to call Chase and have them apply the promotion to my account to get my first year’s annual fee waived.

FYI I dont just get cards for the points or rewards, I got the Diamond card a long time ago cause I was preapproved.

Lmao all I saw was the $500 in GC or $625 for travel, that was enough for me.

Guys a little OT here and I apologize.
Can someone please tell me what good these thank you points are???
I got the Citi Diamond, and the Citi Premier.
Got the bonus for the Premier and I dont have any idea what good they are.
From what im seeing is you can redeem like 10 and pay the balance in cash?? If so what a waste of an inquiry.

Lesson learned: research how to use points before you get several cards that earn those points.

You can google “best ways to redeem thankyou points” for a start.

Any leads or links to what brought about the assumption that its possibly easier to be approved?

“With regards to the INK cards the rules appear to be more relaxed and it may be possible to get approved”

Hi Doc,

I have Ink Cash card, am I eligible to apply Chase Ink plus… (I mean is Chase allowed to have both flavors of this cards.)

You’ve previously been eligible, but the 5+ rule will probably mean you’ll get denied. No idea yet how this new T&C changes it.

Even I have the same question. Currently I have Chase Ink Plus card, which is due for Annual fee now. Instead of downgrading the card, I would like to apply for this CHASE Ink Cash to get the signup bonus. I am even ready to cancel the InkPlus if I cant get a better retention offer.

Does anyone know if the offer has any deadline date? I want to apply for Ink Cash but I already have so much spending pending for my other cards, so can’t accommodate right now but may be 2-3 weeks later should be fine.

Since you mentioned that Chase will match the 60k offer, I wonder if it would be worth signing up with the 50k offer (annual fee waived) then calling in to get it upgraded to the 60k bonus. That way, you (potentially) wouldn’t have to pay the annual fee for the first year.

This should work i have had success with that. I even did it through referral link with lower bonus/ no annual fee. then got matched to higher offer, still had no annual fee and my referee still got the bonus….

I’ve read a lot of reports of Chase charging the AF to match the 60k offer and no reports of getting the points match but not getting charged the AF too.

I thought Chase Business and personal inquiries weren’t combined together. Your resource even says that. Are there newer data points? Not trying to correct you, just want to be clear for myself. Thanks!

Chase pulled Experian for my Ink Plus so I went ahead and applied for the BA card on the same day. Only got one new inquiry on my report. Which bureau Chase pulls is going to depend on where you live though, I’m in SoCal.
