Confirmed: Getting 50k Bonus for Chase Ink Visa After Chase Ink Mastercard

Confirmation! Getting 50k Bonus for Chase Ink Visa After Chase Ink Mastercard

I applied for the Chase Ink Plus Visa last month after already having the Chase Ink Plus MC.

The statement just closed after I met my 5k spent and I saw the 50k points already in my account. It has only been about an hour after the statement closed when I checked my points balance.

Below is a summary of my card history and what I did to get it approved.

Application History

March 2013 – Chase Ink Plus Mastercard
May 2013 – Chase Ink Bold Mastercard
Sept 2013: Chase Ink Plus Visa

I decided as it’s been a few months from my last Chase application, so I should attempt to sign up. If I get rejected, I wasn’t planning on applying for another Chase card for a while anyway and I already have two Ink cards. So applied on the website and gave me a “pending decision.” From millionmilesecrets, that means call the consideration line.

Chase Reconsideration Phone Numbers.

It seems as if the main bloggers above have removed it because Chase told them to. Well, I have no affiliation with Chase so I’ll post it.

Application Status: 800-432-3117 or 800-436-7927
Reconsideration (personal cards) 888-871-4649 or 888-245-0625 or 888-609-7805

Chase Reconsideration Phone Call:

The representative asked me a few questions about my business:

  1. Nature of business
  2. 2011, 2012, 2013 Gross revenue and profit
  3. Income
  4. Main source of income (my full time job)
  5. Why I applied for so many cards recently. I told them that I was flying a lot (mileage runs) and staying at a lot of hotels (because of the MR) so I needed all those cards. I didn’t want to get into the fact I also need the 5 nights credit for 50 night suite awards from the Amex SPG card.

After that, he recommended my application for approval. After two minutes it was approved and another two minutes to finalize my application. I asked him what the bonus offers were and he said 50k points with 5k spend in 103 days from today. I said thanks and hung up.

I called into the main line and got transferred to the business cards line. Since I was just approved a few minutes ago, she was having a hard time finding my card. Eventually she found my card and she confirmed that the 50k bonus points was linked to my new Chase Ink Visa card! 

The Chase Ink Visa card has been around before, so this information is not necessarily new. Back in 2012. the Ink card was Visa until it switched to MC sometime between July 2012 and when I applied for the Ink MC back in March 2013. It seems as if people back then got the bonus for the MC after having the Ink VIsa card.

As far as she’s concerned, any new application for Chase Ink cards will get the bonus points. She has even heard of people with the same SSN who apply for two of the same cards within a week of each other and getting bonus for both. As a disclaimer, this may be a situation where its the same SSN, but probably different business TAX IDs. Try at your own risk. Since I feel risky, I may attempt this before the end of the year.
