If you currently have any kind of Saphire personal card that is active, you will NOTqualify for bonus points, even if you are approved.
If you close your Saphire card recently, you will need to wait 48 months from the date you received the previous Saphire bonus before applying to get the new card's bonus points.
Be careful not to waste a hard credit pull
Chase T&C:
"The product is not available to either (i) current cardmembers of any Sapphire credit card, or (ii) previous cardmembers of any Sapphire credit card who received a new cardmember bonus within the last 48 months. If you are an existing Sapphire customer and would like this product, please call the number on the back of your card to see if you are eligible for a product change. You will not receive the new cardmember bonus if you change products."
95 af is not waived for first year basically previously it was 50k with 95 waived first year now it's 60k with 95 af so pretty much the same
Also I'll get csr rather than csp if you spend 3400+ in travel, dining etc
It is pretty straightforward. When you use your card for ANY travel purchase (like Airbnb, airfare, hotels, Lyft, Uber, parking, some tolls, and many others), you will automatically be reimbursed, until you've spent a total of $300 on travel. In other words, Chase will pay for the first $300 in travel you spend each year with your card.

I'm not trying to sound like a know it all but that is the wrong way to use these points. If using 60,000 points my target conversion is $2100 in travel not $750. At the very least $1800. It will behoove people to read up on transferring to travel partners. I see my conworkers messing this up for themselves all the time
How do you redeem your points to get that value? I've only used my points for transferring to Southwest for plane tickets. The cost per ticket is much lower with points if you were to use a point cash conversion rate. For instance, a $300 cash plane ticket may cost $200 worth of points if I were to change those points to cashback.
Maybe for you it is. For me, I value UR at much more than $0.01 per point, so this is a way better deal.
Its 750 - 95 = 655 vs 625 so this deal is worth about $20 more....I wouldn't call that way better...but it is better. (Conversion rate is .0125 per point what is what you generally get unless you have one of those other cards)

he is correct. in some cases, it is possible to extract up to about $2.5k in value from a 60k ultimate reward points.
for example, someone can transfer those 60k to a united mileageplus account worth 60k miles. if that someone also has a chase UA explorer credit card, he can use that 60k miles to book an economy ticket to paris or rome. in the summer, the price of a UA ticket from the USA to Europe can easily be $2500.
the importance of having a chase UA explorer card is that it allows you to book those hard to get summer fares to paris and similar cities.

Same way as you I imagine, just transferring to airlines/hotel programs other than Southwest.
I think I can redeem 60K points as $600 direct deposit to my account, am I correct? Are there any other credit card deals other than Chase that would give points (cash) like this? Miles are not needed for me. Please suggest.
I called and asked about this. The only way she can transfer points to your Reserve card is if she also had a Reserve card. The other way also applies in that you cannot transfer points to her Preferred card if you do not have a Preferred Card.
This is incorrect.
If there are two people in the SAME HOUSEHOLD, they can transfer UR from one account to the other. The only requirement is both people hold a UR earning card (CSP,CSR,CIP,CF/CFU, etc)

Before you said it was basically the same, now you say it's worth $20 more (actually $30--your math is wrong). But that's what it's worth to you. Stop generalizing. It's not worth the same for everyone.
I typically transfer my UR to travel partners like Hyatt. Air France, United, etc and get more than 1.25 cents per point. You don't need any other card to get 2c or more per UR point.
For me and others like me who can make good use of UR points, this is a way better deal.

There's dozens of such offers from a slew of banks

With reserve the annual fee is 450 but if you spend 300 on travel/dining, the uptown 300 is deducted from the annual fee making it 150 annually. Note the upto 300 for the 300 credit does not get you any points. Past that point is when you start accumulating 3x points per dollar on dining and travel.
Also note every 4 yrs you can sign up for TSA pre or global entry with $100 credit for the processing fee. Also other many benefits such as airport lounge access, better insurance protections, etc vs sapphire preferred.

Yes on traveling but don't think dining counts.
