Product: Credit card or prepaid card

I rcvd an email ( XX/XX/XXXX ) showing my progress towards obtaining the sign-up bonus and it showed the bonus as being {$150.00} ; the amount should have been {$200.00} as advertised. 

I called Chase on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to two different people. The supervisor asked me to sent a secure message with the screenshot I have for proof in order to get the bonus amount corrected. I sent a message with a brief overview of what occurred : " I should have received a {$200.00} bonus but was erroneously offered {$150.00}. See the screenshot to see the sign up bonus that I was offered. '' The response on XX/XX/XXXX says : " Hello XXXX, Thank you for contacting Chase requesting {$200.00} bonus offer.
