Our Verdict
I explained why this was a bad deal when it was a targeted only offer, it becoming public hasn’t changed that. I suggest you read that post if you’re considering this bonus.
Hat tip to reader @DanhEQ1
If we spent $30,000 on this card, do we get a total of 150,000 points at the end or is it a total of 180,000 points? (150,000 pts + 30,000 from point per dollar spent).
since chase is fully aware of this game, they are now manipulating their bonus system to make it look sexy. i bet we will see more of this BS in the future. 70,000 points for an extra $27,000 in spend? yea right. so many other options to spend 27k and get amazing stuff. guess what happens when u even spend 27k on SPG? haha…
