Another credit card deal: 50,000 points $500 spend

Call up the 1800 number and speak to Membership Rewards. Tell them you got the offer 5894 and it was 75k miles and 1 year free. THey should be able to switch it to you. Their policy is to give you the best reward at the time. If that code doesnt work, try 5985 which is $1000 in spending for the first 3 months and a year free for 75000 points. I asked nicely and got 5894 without any trouble. BTW... I bought a $500 Visa gift card and a few groceries and got double points. So 1000+75000 for $500 in spending.

Ok, thanks - they're experiencing high call volume right now, I'll try back in the AM.

One thing I have noticed so far has been the customer service seems friendlier than other financial institutions I've spoken with recently(even if they haven't given me what I want yet, LOL). Before today they, made a courtesy call to verify my identity before issuing the card. As I recall, none of my cards(past or present) have ever done that.
