Chase Cash Plus Rewards 5% on everyday purchase + $100 bonus (update 6/17/2007)

Maybe that is true for the Thank You cards but I am fairly sure it does not work that way on the Citi Dividends or AT&T Universal Cash Rewards cards. I am fairly sure I am still getting 5% on gas/drug/supermarket purchases.

Why?

In the US, I am not aware of any place that takes Visa that does not take Mastercard. Outside of the US there may be some places but it is rare. Visa does have a better extended warranty (or did, the last time I looked), they give an extra year on original warranties of up to 3 years, while MC is only up to one year. But I think that is the extent of the differences.

I applied for this card with offer code HG1 on Oct.16th. Forgot to ask them for bonus at that time, because I didn't know it's important to ask them explicitly. Sent them "proof of current address" once. Just received the card. Only 0 APR for BT for first 3 billing cycles. No 0 APR for purchase at all. I didn't pay much attentation as the indian CSR read the terms to me. Should every cash plush reward card share the same terms? Also nothing about $100 bonus is mentioned with the card.

Can you apply online for this? and get the $100 bonus? Also when is the 100 credited? after 1st charge?
edit I guess you have to do over the phone b/c the online app has no spot for a bonus code...

Thanks, I just applied. I just wish it was faster...

Hi, I saw mention a few posts back of an extension to the end of November for the $100 deal. Can you tell me if it's still the HG1 offer code or another one?

Thanks.

Also if I have other cards with Chase and reduce my credit available, will that favorably affect my chances of getting this card or isn't it worth it to bother. If reducing credit does help, do I have to wait between requesting the reduction and applying for a new card?

Anyway, thanks in advance for that extended offer code!

Cheers!

Please see page 8 of this thread for an offer code that expires November 30.

Does it make a difference which Nov 30 code you use, i.e., it is geographically limited and will that affect my chances for getting a card? I am in the Northeast and would love to get this!

Thanks!

Don't know about reducing your available credit. I had a Chase card with a faily high limit when I applied for the new one. The new credit limit was 3/4 of the other card. Search this site for credit issuing criteria.

I got my card in Oct. and 10,000 points (after first purchase) showed up in my first statement. Called and requested 2 $50 checks yesterday . FYI, I'm in Washington DC. The newer code extended until Nov. 30 should work as well although mine's a different code ending on Sep. 30.

Call 1-888-338-2586 to check on the status. You only need to enter the SS# you applied for the card with. Machine response.

Lol, only 0% for the first 2 months? Mine says 0% for 15 months, but I only have a $4000 CL.

The 10,000 points showed up on my first statement and I went online to request 2 $50 checks. I got a check for $100 within a week.

Thanks OP.

ladyinred said: Approved!! Is it necessary to call and request my $100 check?

You have to make at least one purchase first. Read this thread for when you will get your $100.

Got my 100 check!! Nice...

EricGo said: Warning ..

I received the card with a 7k CL, and then consolidated old credit cards up to a 54K CL. The nice CSR asked if I would like to BT some of the funds until Jan 06 ?!?

Turns out, per the CSR, I received a 'standard' card with a three month BT period. So I went back and looked over the docs I was sent, and could not find one with the BT terms. The paper that had the card attached did not have the terms. It seems very unlikely I was not sent that information, but in any case, do not presume you have received a 12 month BT.

If someone would post what piece of paper disclosed APR and BT terms, I'd appreciate it.

My APR & BT Terms for the Chase Cash Plus Rewards card were in two tables called RATES AND FEES TABLE (also may be referred to as the table of interest charges) and FEES AND FINANCE CHARGES TABLE on page 6 of 6. The 6 page document made up the CARDMEMBER AGREEMENT.

so which code should i use? Mz5 or MZ0

btw i live in NYC

NOT TRUE: Just got my Sunday newspaper. Ad in the coupon flyer for CHASE PLUS REWARDS VISA CARD. 10,000 points bonus. Expires Novemnber 30, 2005. Promotion code: MZ5.

In order to apply for the card I had to agree to allow Chase to share all of my information with any of their marketing partners. Is that a normal requirement for a credit card application? I've never heard of that before. The guy wouldn't explain to me what information that entails. Everything?

I am talking to the rep. right now. He spent about 15 minutes going over the terms and agreement and all the rates. Does he expect people to remember what he said. Just give me the da*n money!!!
