are those 15000 points in addition to the 15000 you'd normally get for spending money using the card .. the normal 1 point per dollar... so at the end of 6 months you would have 40000 points the original 10000 then 15000 for purchases .. and then the 15000 bonus ?
You also get a 5k bonus for converting 20k points to miles.. So most tickets cost only 20k instead of 25k like most cards. It does depend on the airline though as the redemption ration has been raised for some (for the worse), including United...

Excellent question. If this would be CrapOne you could bet that it simply a tricky way to make you believe the extra bonus.

I think this is a great deal and surprise its not getting any attention! Of course, you need to spend some money but that extra 15K bonus is really tempting. I wonder if they have a similiar for the bus card. Too bad I already have both or I would apply immediately. Thanks OP!

Luckily they declined my personal *wood card in my AOR. My business went through, but I may risk the extra inquiry to get in on this.

Anyone know if you can get this (or a similar deal) retroactively? I got my card in February and they didn't have this offer then. I'm sure you can't, but just interested to see if anyone in a similar situation has been able to do this on another deal? Thanks.
