We’re seeing more and more reports from readers and others who had success requesting a match for the upcoming 120,000 Chase INK Preferred offer. (1, 2, 3, 4) This is an interesting ‘match’ given that the offer is not publicly live yet.
Very interesting is that readers (1, 2) got a clear date from when the match is available. As we’ve seen in the past, they are back-dating the matching offer from May 23, 2024, before the offer was available (the offer first became available on June 23 in Chase branches).
This offer is available for cards opened on May 23, 2024 or after
Basically, after getting approved for the 100k INK Preferred offer, you’ll want to Secure Message with Chase and ask them to increase your offer from 100k to 120k due the offer having been increased to 120k. They’ll reply that you should message them again after meeting the spend and they’ll make the 20,000 points adjustment. If you are planning on meeting the spend quickly, you can just wait to message them until after you already met the spend, and they should be able to immediately make the 20,000 points adjustment.
It seems safe to assume you’ll get a match if you apply with the 100k offer. Anyone is 2-player mode would want to apply using their friend’s link and get the match instead of applying directly for the 120k offer. Another option is to wait and see if/when the regular referral links will update to 120k (my guess is they will).
Altogether, 2-players will end up with 160,000 Ultimate Rewards points after $8,000 spend and a low $95 annual fee. In my opinion this is one of the best publicly-available deals we’ve ever seen.
