Missed Out on Chase Bonus? Send a Secure Message

This is not new information, in fact I even talked about it myself back in 2013, but it is always worth a reminder.


If you signed up for a Chase credit card in the last 90 days and the sign up bonus increased, you can send a secure message to Chase and they will match the new bonus.

Recently, the bonus for the Chase Ink Plus increased from 50,000 Ultimate Rewards points to 60,000 points as long as you applied in a Chase branch (online offer had an annual fee the first year).




I signed up for this card for my brother (shhh!) before the new bonus started so I sent a secure message that read the following:

Hello,
I recently signed up for the Chase Ink Plus card with a 50,000 Ultimate Rewards sign up bonus. Very soon after that, a few friends of mine told me that they were offered the same care with 60,000 Ultimate rewards as a sign up bonus when they signed up in a branch I also see that it is 60,000 online now . Can I please be matched the extra 10,000 ultimate rewards? Thank you.

I received a message the following day that said:
