We’re seeing more and more reports from readers and others who had success requesting a match for the upcoming 120,000 Chase INK Preferred offer. (1, 2, 3, 4) This is an interesting ‘match’ given that the offer is not publicly live yet.
Very interesting is that readers (1, 2) got a clear date from when the match is available. As we’ve seen in the past, they are back-dating the matching offer from May 23, 2024, before the offer was available (the offer first became available on June 23 in Chase branches).
This offer is available for cards opened on May 23, 2024 or after
Basically, after getting approved for the 100k INK Preferred offer, you’ll want to Secure Message with Chase and ask them to increase your offer from 100k to 120k due the offer having been increased to 120k. They’ll reply that you should message them again after meeting the spend and they’ll make the 20,000 points adjustment. If you are planning on meeting the spend quickly, you can just wait to message them until after you already met the spend, and they should be able to immediately make the 20,000 points adjustment.
It seems safe to assume you’ll get a match if you apply with the 100k offer. Anyone is 2-player mode would want to apply using their friend’s link and get the match instead of applying directly for the 120k offer. Another option is to wait and see if/when the regular referral links will update to 120k (my guess is they will).
Altogether, 2-players will end up with 160,000 Ultimate Rewards points after $8,000 spend and a low $95 annual fee. In my opinion this is one of the best publicly-available deals we’ve ever seen.
No referrals in the comments below.
data point – the requested extra 20k UR posted on a different INK.
Anyone already sent the reply to the private message which Chase customer service promised to match the 120K offer after meeting the spending threshold? I hit the $8000 requirement 2 weeks ago and sent a message to Chase but was asked to wait for a special team’s response. And it has been more than a week, still no news
9/30 I sent a SM replying back to the bonus match request I had sent much earlier.
10/9 Chase replied back stating I was eligible, and the 20k also posted
Was able to match to 120K offer after getting the card via referral for 100K. I already completed the spend before the match. How long do they take to give the extra 20K pts?.
when was the card approved?
Will chase still match if you meet spending after the public offer expires? I just got approved few days ago but will probably meet spend requirement after the public offer expires
I got approved through a referral. A representative initially approved the 120K points match over the phone. I also sent a secure message to confirm, and the SM rep reconfirmed the 120K match. I was advised to reply to the SM message once the spending requirement is met to receive an additional 20K points! Glad I took the shot! Now, the big question is how to meet the spending requirement! LOL.
data point – still successfully matching; Signed up 8/22 via referral and SM’ed and was able to get the 120k match confirmed (will have to SM again after meeting the SUB)
Same here. Same dates and experience with applying and match SM.
Was approved thru referral link for 100K 2 weeks ago. SM denied the matching for120K. Called and was also denied. 🙁
P2 just got a response via SM today that they are matching 120k offer and additional 20k will be credited shortly
Keep asking. My friend got matched like four to five months after the fact in the past for elevated promos like this one. Someone will eventually say yes. Don’t give up.
