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."
Also I'll get csr rather than csp if you spend 3400+ in travel, dining etc

You don't have to transfer your points to another airline. They have their own travel portal (comparable prices as Kayak/Orbitz/etc) that you can use your points on, but unlike pure cash back, points spent on their travel portal earn +25% redemption.
I personally have the CSR so I get 3x UR points on dining+travel expenses, and when I spend them on travel I get +50% redemption so essentially dining+travel are worth 4.5% cash back on their travel portal. We also have other UR cards, Chase Freedom for 5% categories (7.5% UR) and Freedom Unlimited 1.5% on everything else (2.25% UR). UR points can be pooled from spouse all into one account for redemption.
Once you get the signing bonus, what benefits does this card give that warrants paying $95 yearly fee going forward.
It gives 2% back on travel and restaurants, which is mediocre.
Or do you guys plan to downgrade the card to a different card?
Its easier to get CSP as compared to CSR. With CSR you need to get minimum of $10,000 limit.
A recommended strategy which i have read is, take CSP and get 60K bonus. After a year upgrade to CSR.
With that you get higher initiation bonus and then 1 year later it is easier to upgrade to CSR then get CSR in a new application.
You can book AA tickets using Avios (it's usually a better deal for some things like shorter direct domestic flights than using AA in fact) and UR transfers to Avios.
Especially for premium class bookings, but it's not super hard to beat 1.25c a point (the CSP portal value) and often not hard to beat the 1.5c a point value for CSR portal redemption even in coach.
Southwest is the one place using the portal virtually always makes sense (with a CSR anyway) because they virtually never get to 1.5c/pt with transfers, plus using the portal books as a revenue ticket meaning you earn miles for it too.
You don't have to- but you get a lot higher value in most cases. Ditto transfers to Hyatt for hotel bookings.

higher value in most cases? How do you recommend I maximize this? I am not part of any frequent flyer programs so I don't know how to begin searching for award flights any other way.
I looked online and was either pointed to RewardStock or AwardHacker. I searched the latter (cuz the former has a membership fee), and most sample airfare searches that I did yielded only up to 1.29 cents/mile. The UR portal seems better for the flights at 1.5x redemption.

not really. they add the annual fee to your first statement.

For flights you'll get the most value out of overseas business or first class (where it's pretty easy to get 4-6 cents a point, sometimes as much as 10 for first)... For example we flew business class to the UK (via Aer Lingus using Avios and a transfer bonus) getting around 5 cents a point on that redemption.
For coach it can be tougher but one of the best values is often redeeming Avios for American Airlines domestic short haul... for example it's only 7500 points for a one way flight up to 650 miles. So unless you can book that flight for $112.50 in the portal transferring is a better deal...
And sometimes there's a 30% transfer bonus too... meaning it'd only be 5800 UR points... so you'd have to be able to book that flight for less than $87 to beat the transfer rate.
As a relevant example I recently flew a flight between RDU and Pittsburgh that was $129 cash for that same 5800 UR cost thanks to the transfer bonus- a value of 2.22 cents a point. (Even better, the reward booking was standard economy- the cash booking would've been basic economy)
But even without the transfer bonus it would've been 1.72 cents a point, and a better class of ticket, compared to using the portal.
You often need to be a little flexible with dates for this stuff (as award availability will obviously be less than cash bookings) but it's not that hard to beat the portal for many trips.
Booking how?
Booking through the portal is, to the airline, just booking a ticket for cash. You are a paying customer to them.
Booking via points transfer would depend on each airlines own award availability... some routes/airlines it's notoriously difficult to find award availability, others it's pretty easy as long as you only need 1 or 2 seats....
(trying to find seating in business or first for a family or large group is MUCH more challenging)
What travel rebate you are talking about? I spent couple of hundred on it but never got reimbursed. Do I need to buy ticket using chase travel to get $300 reimbursed?
Anything that codes as travel is reimbursed for the first $300 you spend (on CSR- NOT on CSP)
Airfare, hotels, trains, bus, even tolls, rental cars and (some) parking.
