If you get rejected sometimes there are errors in their automation side or just simply discrepancies. I have always called the reconsideration lines for credit agencies and sometimes even gotten approved over the phone.
At the least it will tell you why you got denied and it will be a learning experience. In this specific case: Always call

I believe you can apply for this card and the offer is for new applicants so even if you have the sapphire you should be eligible. Give them a call to make sure.
What you guys think? Is it worth grabbing another? Just curious of ur thoughts Slickdealers
No real harm in the long term to your credit. I was thinking of doing the same thing but the more research I did, I realized that having a good set up with few cards might be better than having a lot of cards. The signup bonuses are great but in the long term I want a chase/ Amex set up because I can get better return on points/rewards that they offer( airline, hotels, etc..) if you spread yourself too thin you're going to have rewards spread all over. Unless you're just doing it for the cash you get, then the bonus way is for you. It really depends on what you want.
For example restaurant food (that you might've charged to CSR for the 3x points) can be "paid back" using the 5x points on grocery spend at a 1.5x bonus, effectively "earning" 7.5% cash equivalent on your grocery spend.
Or for the simplest version of the math- $1.00 of grocery spend gets you 5x UR points, transfer to CSR, and "pay off" 7.5 cents worth of spend in any of the pay yourself back categories you put on said CSR.
Grocery 5x is new? They don't apply to my CF Unl. groc spend. I'm about to sign other half up if this is case; debating between this and CS, this will clinch it
Edit: NM, applied & approved.

You'll have to cancel the card then wait 2 years and reapply. If you actually do this you're a genuine slick dealer.
This isn't 1.5%.
It's 1.5x UR (and 5x on UR for groceries, temporarily)
1.5x UR can be worth more than 2% cash, sometimes significantly more, with the right combination of cards.
If you're someone who never travels that route probably isn't worth looking into though.

Ahhhh its 1.5x UR didnt realize that. Im definitely not going to be traveling for a while. Would u recommend either of these cards for everyday simple purchases? Groceries and online shopping. Ive read all ur posts in here, appreciate u helping!

Well, if you can get the new signup bonus on the unlimited for 5x UR on groceries, that's a great deal right now (plus the 20k UR for the signup bonus).
For online shopping- if you had top status at BoA their cash card at 5.25% would be tough to beat... otherwise there's some 5% options for this quarter specifically (DiscoverIT is 5% for paypal purchases, Freedom (not unlimited) is 5x UR for amazon)
