Our Verdict
There are now three offers on this card:
- This offer
- Publicly available offer of 55,000 miles without the annual fee waived
- 75,000 miles without the annual fee waived [targeted like this]
This is the best offer Chase has ever offered on this card as far as I know. You should be able to get matched to this offer, even if you weren’t targeted but again your mileage may vary, people were successfully matched to the 75k offer previously (without the $50 statement credit). Chase can be peculiar about matching statement credit offers so no promises.
Obviously most people won’t be eligible for this card because of the new Chase 5/24 rules applying to this card (maybe you’ll get lucky and these rules won’t apply, but I doubt it unfortunately). Before applying for this card, there are a few things you should know about Chase credit cards, we’ve compiled them in this linked post. Please read it before asking common questions in the comments section.
