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.

CSR fee increased and i don't think it's worth.. ofcourse it's depends on each person requirement.
anyhave sent csp, pease ignore if you don't want it.
It is still 450 for the next 2 days and you get the new Lyft and doordash add ons for free.
If you have opened more than 5 credit cards in past 1 year, even with excellent credit score, there is a high chance of being rejected, Citi Premier card offers similar benefits
I'm looking to get a new travel credit card. Though I'm not a frequent traveler, I do plan one or two vacations with my family each year. I was debating between the CSR and CSP, but I think the increase in fees for the CSR makes my decision a little easier.
Any thoughts on which card is better between the CSP and the Capital One Venture card (or any other comparable card that might be better)?
I'd go with Capital One Venture. At least, you won't have to pay AF in the first year - nothing to lose if travel credit card doesn't work with you. Also, there's a clear path to downgrade to Venture One (no AF) in the next year.
Question for the pros here. I see the top comment saying that if you have saphire card already you won't get approved. Both the wife and I were gonna get this card for the points for travel. We need like 8 flights this year.
She has one card already from 5 years ago. She still won't be approved? If not any other cars that is recommended for miles or rewards?
Do Southwest cards also count towards the saphire? Or no? Because I have one of those and it's chase. Just making sure I don't waste an inquiry.
First, the card's annual fee will jump by $100, from $450 to $550. The good news is that there are still a few days to apply with the current fee — the new rate kicks in on Sunday, Jan. 12, 2020.
Meanwhile, existing cardmembers will be able to renew at the current $450 fee, as long as their renewal fee hits prior to April 1, 2020. As of that date, all accounts will renew at the new $550 fee. Chase isn't planning to remove any benefits. Instead, the issuer will add perks to help compensate for that notable fee jump, all of which start on Sunday, Jan. 12.
First, Chase Sapphire Reserve customers will receive one free year of Lyft Pink, which normally costs $19.99 per month and includes a 15% discount on all rides, free bike and scooter rentals each month (including Citi Bike in New York), priority airport pickups, more flexibility when it comes to ride cancellations and more.
Additionally, Chase is adding a big boost on Lyft earnings — you'll earn 10x points on all rides paid for with the Chase Sapphire Reserve, equivalent to a 20% return based on TPG's valuations.
Next, Chase Sapphire Reserve customers will be eligible for a total of $120 in DoorDash credits, as part of the issuer's new partnership, which also includes free DashPass for a minimum of one year. Cardholders will be eligible for $60 in DoorDash credits in 2020 and $60 in DoorDash credits in 2021 — it isn't yet clear whether or not the credits will extend into 2022, but that's always a possibility.

Catherine Hogan, President of Chase Branded Cards answered a number of our questions about the changes:
Question: Why has Chase decided to increase the Sapphire Reserve card annual fee?

A: We know our cardmembers love the flexibility and ease of the $300 travel credit – and they will continue to enjoy this value.

A: The credits will be awarded when the transaction is posted. This is similar to the Sapphire Reserve annual travel credit.

Q: Are all DoorDash and Lyft benefits available to existing cardholders?

Only one Lyft Pink membership is available per account, but authorized users will also earn at the 5x or 10x rates.
As a reminder, new customers can apply for the Chase Sapphire Reserve with a $450 fee through Saturday, Jan. 11 — you'll still be able to take advantage of all the new perks, too, so if you've been on the fence, now's the time to apply.

CSR is worth it at 550 with new benefits. At 450 by applying today, it is a no brainer!
P.S: Note that a person can refer only 5 other folks in a year. If you are using someone else's referral, do check on that.
