I applied for the 50k in mid August. The 60k debuted. I got verbal confirmation of a match…
I was still waiting to see if there would be some sort of hiccup when the miles actually got credited. Would they credit as a 60k bonus, or would the 50k credit, then an adjustment of 10k? Well, after getting verbal confirmation on August 30th, that I would be matched and a report had been filed requesting the extra 10k bonus, I received bonus miles in my account.
The miles credited as an adjustment…not for 10k, but 20k…
Here’s the interesting aspect of this. I received two duplicate letters from Barclay that acknowledged the approval for the increased 60k bonus. Both said an additional 10k would be adjusted. It could be that I was doubly approved. Or it could be that the total bonus will equal 60k and because there was a match involved the accounting is a little wonky. Either way, the adjustment has been made, but the sign up bonus hasn’t been credited yet. I suspect it’s because I hadn’t paid my annual fee on September 12th, but had made the first purchase.
If you signed up for the 50k offer and matched to the 60k you should keep an eye out for an Aviator MC Adjustment.
