So I'm seeing the $250 offer in both IE and Firefox. In IE, when I click on it, I only see a $50 offer. In Firefox, I see a 0% interest offer.

In FF, I had to clear my cookies for chase.com and/or chasefreedomnow.com (I cleared both, so not sure which one it was). I could see the $250 offer on the main Chase page, but not on the popup offer page.

ok on the page the advertises the $250 --- it gives a link in Spanish "solicite en Espanol"

--- this links to a 0% offer (doesn't say $250) with the following terms:

La duración de su período introductorio será de 12 meses para las compras y las transferencias de saldo o de 3 meses para las transferencias de saldo únicamente, dependiendo de nuestra evaluación de su solicitud y su historial crediticio. Oferta válida durante el período introductorio siempre que usted cumpla con los términos de su cuenta. Además, primero aplicamos los pagos a los saldos introductorios y después a los saldos con APR más altas. Esto significa que la duración del período introductorio puede variar según las cantidades de los pagos y las APR para otros saldos en su cuenta. Aprenda más sobre las tasas, los cargos y otra información relacionada con los costos al revisar la sección de Valores y Términos.

sorry to get side tracked on the Spanish thing --- but just thinking here
is there some Spanish language targeted offers out there that need to be "mined"?

OK after trying it in Firefox on a 3rd machine I managed to get the 2nd page to show up with the $250 offer, so I applied. I did not get an instant response. Either they finally think I have too much credit (the last two cards I've gotten, they have stupidly given me $25k credit lines), or my credit file fraud alert is working.

because it's a point card not a cash card.

Technically it's both. It's the "Freedom" card, b/c you have the freedom to switch between the two at any time without loss/devalue of points/cash.

If you choose to switch how you earn rewards once you become a cardmember, and you are earning your rewards as rebates, your rebates will be converted to points at a rate of $0.01 to 1 point. For example, $5 in rebates will transfer to 500 points. If you are earning your rewards as points, your points will be transferred to the Cash Back program at a rate of 1 point to $0.01. For example, 500 points will transfer to $5 in rebates. Please see Rewards Program Rules and Regulations which will be mailed after you switch.

Thank you.
I also found the cash redeem threshold is $50 and gift card is $10.
So it's really freedom.

Figure it's worth a shot, so I'm in!

Didn't get instant approval, but not too surprising as a student.

Fingers crossed!

i make good money. i wonder why i wasn't approved. want to ditch my citibank dividends card.

Making good money does NOT mean you have a good credit.

Have one Chase card. Chase kept sending me pre-approved applications, about twice a month. After being this way for more than a year, I applied online using the pre-approval code. However, I was not approved instantly. After 3 weeks, the card arrived with a credit limit of 6,000. That's the only Chase card I have.

I just applied. My situation is similar as yours. The only difference is, I don't get the card yet. Hope it will come finally.
