Our Verdict

There is a targeted offer for 75k miles (if you’re not targeted, you might want to try again after June 1st). There has also been offers of 55,000 miles with the annual fee waived, so this is not the best offer ever seen on this card. Keep in mind that the Chase 5/24 rule now applies to this card.

Personally because of the higher offers been available in the past, I don’t think this offer is worth applying for. There are also better cards out there to target if you’re under 5/24 (such as the Chase Ink 70,000 offer). If you have any questions about this card or offer, they will most likely be answered in this post:  22 things everybody should know about Chase credit cards. If you read through that and they still aren’t answered, please let me know in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them.
