it's been a couple of years since we scored $200 for Schwab (FIA) Visa Cards
I'm not holding my breath on this one --- it's one thing to target Schwab customers with $200 --- it is another to mass market such a perk --- waiting for a confirm

finally got bonus message for $50 one and it says almost the exact same thing:

*You will receive $50 in bonus rebates. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks after your first purchase for bonus rebates to post to your account. First purchase includes purchases, balance transfers, or any checks that are used to access your account. To qualify for bonus rebates, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. The bonus offer is valid only for first-time cardmembers with new accounts. Only one bonus per account. Existing cardmembers/accounts are not eligible for the bonus offer.

man, i'm tempted, but that first-time cardmembers w/ new accounts keeps me from applying. Has anyone figure out if new account pertain only to the freedom card or any Chase cc?

Its worth 3-5 points from the hard pull on a CRA to find out.

Grr, just applied for this in recent AOR. Looks like it's only 3 or 6 months 0% BT though??? Mine was 0% for 15 months.

An easy $250 though if you don't want to BT (assuming it's valid).

Thanks.
I confirmed that if you click on a $50 sign-up bonus ad, you also got

so I think it doesn't mean you must be a first-time cardmember OF CHASE.

I now don't know which one I clicked on (the $50 or the $250) to fill out the application. I wonder if it matters.

Remember to print out the ad page for evidence.

No, its not hacked. That link ending leads you to a Flash which is then populated with the $250 offer displayed on it.

Without that link ending you wont see "$250" on the Flash page, but will see another Flash page.

i clicked on apply now from both the $50 and the $250 offer page and it took me to same exact page:

https://app.firstusa.com/ICAppServlet/?PID=CHFD4&SPID=9M4M&CAT=0&CELL=6H2R&MSC=Z0061431

I copied and pasted both links into notepad to verify they match exactly. Don't know how they could tell which one you clicked on.
