I just got my card (apply by web), my question is how do you ask for the $100 Cash Back? Do you have to make a first purchase and then call them and ask for the bonus Cash Back with code HG1 or do you call them after you get your first bill???

Please help...thanks,

Yes, I got my first statement yesterday (10,000 bonus points!). Just enrolled and ordered 2 $50 checks. Easy money.

My wife called yesterday to apply for a HG1

They don't offer apply by web for the $100 bonus, so forget about it.

Agree. Why did you apply on the web site? Try call Chase CSR and see can you get the bonus 10,000 points. Good Luck.

You can call them before the activation. If rejected, CALL to apply another card with the promotion code.

I have Chase Cash Reard card but when I entered my info., I got this message. Anyone tried yet?

"Your card is not eligible for this promotion but you may already have a reward program on your credit card. Please visit the website on the back of your card or call the number on the back of your card for more details.

Thank you for choosing Chase! "

It would appear that the only benefit to the Chase "love the double" promo with this case is an extra 1% on restaurant purchases. Is that the case? We're not going to get 6% on any of the other bonus categories, will we?

BTW, I finally managed to get Chase to give me the 10,000 point bonus on a converted account. I had been told to fax it after they converted, and I did but that didn't work, so I emailed them and they said I had to give the code at the time I applied. I told them that I was told to fax it and did so, and much to my surprise they gave me the points.

Apparently there are couple kinds of Cash Reward card from Chase.

The one that had been discussed on this board is the Chase Cash Plus

Double rewards are for Chase Flexible Rewards, Chase Free Cash Rewards, Chase PerfectCard.

I have email, but unlike when you get this from a phone CSR, this time I have it in writing. And they said they had added them. No one else had ever said they would give them to me.

dumb question?

Is the $50 Cash Plus Rewards Check a regular check? I never used this reward program before.

DoNotDo said:dumb question: If I didn't activate the card, will there be any negtive consequence other than losing the $100 bonus?

Well, your card is going to show up on your credit report anyway and your credit report has already got a hard pull. Why not activate it?
