^^^ mine has the correct number??!

notlarry said:Namshik said:did anyone get their 20k miles added to your mileage plus yet? if so, how long does it usually take after your 1st purchase.Yes -- twice My 2nd 20K posted to my account before the end of September, which impresses me, because that means that the application, activation, purchase & bonus posting all took less than 1 month (27 days, but who's counting?) for my 2nd card. I just applied for my 3rd today Hopefully I'll get more offers in the mail, but they seem to have dried up ...

I need to know fi the SECOND 20k miles were posted to the same account as your first. So after signing up with United the first time u get 20k miles posted after first purchase. Now, after this you signed up for the second with same name but I'm guessing different credit card number.

Does your online account show both cards and 40k miles alltogether + whatever milesage you accrue when you spend money?

Or do you have 2 seperate online accounts with 20k in each?

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks not larry

My goal is to get 90k miles by hoepfully April or so to book a savers Businses class ticket to North/South Asia (Beijing or Hong Kong), so I guess I will wait 1 month and apply for a new card each time until I do get it then start cancelling my credit cards 6 months after the first and see how I can get away with that.

If your credit is taht great (and my CL is $25000) + AMEX gold....does it really hurt that much.

I mean, I am 21 and I hav emy life ahead of so to say adn graduating this year, I dont want to be disqualified form taking out any mortgages or anything. What do you think

I wouldn't cancel all the cards.. There has been quite a bit posted here before in other threads to show that cancelling cards can hurt your credit score.

Once you've taken the hit of opening the cards, leave them open.. Just switch them to a no-fee card after 6 months (otherwise, potentially, United could take the miles back), and you'll be fine.

Is this deal still alive?

The card I got is not the Visa Signature card on the website. It has different graphics (grey, blue, and purple ) and is actually a Visa Platinum. I didn't see the same benefits listed in the benefits guide either, such as up to $3000 lost luggage insurance, $1,000,000 travel accident insurance (now only $500,000), or the $300 trip delay insurance. What gives? Might have something to do with the buyout of BankOne by Chase.

Still 1 mile per dollar spent and free for the first year, $60/yr thereafter. The 20k bonus miles better post.

My card has benefits similar to the Gold card seen here, except it claims 1 mile per dollar spent.

Can they issue me a card I didn't sign up for? Seems like a bait and switch to me. I want the Visa Signature benefits.

I got the Signature version back in September. In a little over a week, I'm going to apply for at least 3 new cards (this one AGAIN, Skymiles biz, and AAdvantage biz), all with 20k bonuses. My logic is that, from what I've taken from the apporamas, doing them all at once makes it less likely that the other multiple apps will be counted for one another's approval. I'm pretty sure though that Chase is slower at pulling than the others and I seem to recall that Chase apps are usually the most denied during ramas. So I'm probably going to apply for this card (United #2 for me and will be my 4th Chase card) a full business day before the other two, which offer much faster approval times. Anyone think this is a bad strategy?

Thanks.

You can cancel anytime you want, but they can remove the miles, from earlier in the thread "If your account is not open for at least 6 months, United and Chase reserve the right to deduct the bonus miles from your Mileage Plus Program account."

yea i got the 1k miles for credit protector, well i had it and canceled since august still waiting for the miles too post...
