I just applied tonight. The CSR was Indian but very easy to understand. She did keep referring to this card as the Chase Rewards Platinum card rather than the 'Plus' card. However, when I asked her to describe the reward program, it was the same program as outlined in this thread. Namely, 5 points per dollar on gas, groceries, drugstores. 1 point everywhere else. 75,000 point annual point cap. If you are not sure you are applying for the right card, just take a minute and ask the CSR to detail the rewards program.

I just got mine and it was MasterCard and I did not ask, just assumed it would be this as that was what the ad said with that phone number. Also got a $25k limit

When I applied the CSR kept referring Chase Rewards Platinum Mastercard. I was not sure what I would receive. I just got my card and it is a Rewards Mastercard.

I got the Mastercard, but you get whatever you ask for, I think. Just ask the CSR questions if you are confused. They are obligated to make sure you know exactly what you are getting into. Before you get too far in that app process ask them about the rewards program and ask them whether they are setting you up for a MC or VISA. If you can't understand the CSR, hang up and call back and try another one. Ask, ask, ask.

Under description for activity at two Supermarkets it says "other" Would that mean they don't qualify as grocery stores? Hoping that is not the case or this will end up being a complete waste of time getting this card

MARKET BASKET 00000SC7(Other)
STOP & SHOP #015 SJ6(Other)

Thats not good news. I just activated mine and was going to Demoulas/Market Basket, Stop and Shop, and CVS all to get 5% back. Also I logged onto the Chase site and there is $1 pending and I haven't even used the card yet.

As a chase cash plus holder I can assure you that transactions made at grocery stores show up on your online statement as other but you will still earn 5% back. Granted some stores may show up as other like Target and WalMart where they may or may not be truly coded as a supermarket. If you have held another card that offered bonus points at supermarkets, gas stations, and drugstores and they earned that particular store earned the bonus promotion than it will almost definately still earn the bonus promotion on the Rewards Plus since it is how the merchant is coded by visa or mastercard. Stores that I have found count for the 5X points include CVS, Eckerd, Rite Aid, Giant, Whole Foods, Genaurdis, Acme, Shoprite, BP gas station, Shell Gas, as well as many 7-elevens since the ones I frequent code themselves as gas stations. Wawa is not considered a grocery store nor is Drugstore.com.

On another note if the transaction has posted to your credit card you can call chase customer service up and ask them what the store is coded as so for the stores in question they will tell you whether they are coded under the category that earns 5%. You have to ask about each specific store and can only do this if it has shown up on your posted transactions.

Thanks Craig an Joe, Just got a little worried when I saw them classified as other. My wife just got back from stocking up on things from CVS and between that and the food purchases I have already made about $50 in the week I have had the card. Will now go out tonight and blow it on some liquid "chill pills"

Just applied. The CSR lady was Indian and was very easy to understand and very thorough. She repeated pretty much everything I told her. She also kept referring to the card was "the Chase Platinum card", but I asked her to talk about all the details and it matched up with the one in the OP description. And yeah.. she went through all the different rates.. that took a long time!

I asked about the purchase protection and extended warranty but the only thing she could confirm was the double extended warranty.

I'll get a response from Chase in the mail within 30 days.

My whole call took about 26 minutes.

PS: Both Master and Visa give you the "travel" insurance and the auto rental insurance coverage (collission damage waiver).....and both offer "assist" services when you are in foreign countries....

I saw the samething with code 359. Also 0% on balance transfers AND purchase for 12 months.

I saw this in the coupon section also, but it is not exactly the same. The one I saw said a maximum of 30,000 points could be earned per year.
