48 from Bonus

Understanding the 48 from Bonus rule:

Bonus miles are not available on these cards if you have received a bonus within the last 48 months. This only applicable to the same card, so you still may be approved for other cards in the "family."

About Approval Rules

Collecting credit card points is largely driven by understanding and abiding by bank rules regarding approval (or disapproval) of cards.  So here’s what you need to know:

• Approval rules are rarely fully publicized by the banks
• We use our own research and data points from other users in creating the rules listing
• Our goal in sharing/using the rule listings is to provide you guidance to avoid getting declined
• There can sometimes be exceptions to the rules, but we try to take a more cautious approach in advising you.
