Is this the number 1-888-787-0329

That is the number I called. However, your call can be routed all over the world. If I call before 3pm Pacific, I get an American. If I call after 4pm pacific, I get India. If I call between 3-4, I can get either. In fact, just for fun, call around 3:30pm on a weekday. When someone answers, hang up. Hit redial 9 more times. You will get India about 8 times, America twice. Note that the Indians always adopt an American sounding nickname such as "Tom" or "Diane", so you have to go by the accent. I don't know if they don't have their computers up in India or what, but they just go by the plain-Jane offer of 5000 points (when I try to give them an "offer code", they are clueless). If you get a domestic call center, you won't have any trouble getting your $100 using code Z3R. Good luck.

You have to actually apply for a new card to get this $100 right, you can't just change from another Chase card. At least that's what the CSR said when I called.

I disagree with your statement. 2 times I called and she was american lady and she was very adamant that No sir it was mistake, you will get only 50$ Cash Back.

Last night I called around 8 p.m and most probable he was Indian and he asked me the offer number and after that said you will get 10,000 point, which you can redeem for 100$ Cash Back or gift card. I went ahead and applied it.

I will say No logic apply here. It's trial and error.

Wow, I can convert an existing unused Chase card and get the $100 bonus! That is great!! I've been carrying my Freedom card around for the past week meaning to call and see if I could convert it to something decent. This definitely qualifies!

Just called, the guy (who did not sound particularly Indian) put in to de-enroll me from the Freedom benefits, but said it was not going through and it would not let him enroll me in the Cash Plus Rewards, so I would have to call back in 3 days. Maybe when I call, they will let me give them the Z3R code at the same time.

Of course, I probably should have picked one of my unused First USA cards to convert.

I'm sure they will give you the bonus if you call and apply for a new card, but that will take 2 weeks to arrive. This way in theory you can use the old card and get the benefits immediately. Others have done it, it may just be a matter of calling on the weekend and getting people who don't know how to handle it.

Kind of new to this credit thing, I wanted to ask through, does this card allow a grace period where you don't have to pay interest if you pay the balance within like 20 days or a billing cycle or something?

I've applied for lots of credit cards, and it's never taken 2 weeks to get one. They always tell you to allow 30 days, then I usually get it in about 5 days. They can't wait for people to start racking up interest charges

What number are you guys calling? I had my Chase perfect card switched over to this card and when I tried to call in to get the promotion they said it would be done automatically, but I would only get 1000 points instead of the 10000 points. Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

My statement just closed for the first time and I registered with choosemyrewards.com to get my $50 bonus, but when I look at the options it says that the $50 Cash Plus Rewards check is "Out of Stock". Has anybody gotten their check and is it common that the check option is Out of Stock?

I just got a $50 dollar check yesterday. I normally redeem for $25 every month or two, and have never encountered any issue.
