It's 4 years since receiving the sign up bonus.
You have to wait 4 years since opening the first one before you can get another.
The application date or the card open date doesn't matter. What matters is the date that you received the sign-up bonus. That date is probably the closing date of the statement in which it was awarded to you.

For example, if you met the minimum spend for the sign up bonus in the first month the card was opened, the statement closing date was probably October or November 2016. If you met the minimum spend in the 3rd month that the card was opened, then the bonus may have been awarded in January or even February - again, depends on the statement closing date. You can check your first few statements in that account to know for sure.

So, you have to purchase your travel on the Chase Rewards site? Do they jack up prices or are they "normal"? Can't log in and look unless you're a member! I can find REAL CHEAP flights due to Covid now. Less than $100 round trip Dallas to Orlando, Dallas to Las Vegas, etc...

This would be a waste if I have to book through Chase Rewards website and prices were $200 - $400 round trip.

Not sure what your asking...

No you don't have to book flights then through site. Using the Chase site gives you a 1.25 boost in points (1.5 w/CSR).
While you access it thru Chase, it's run by Expedia (or one of the other travel sites).
When I book travel I open two browser windows and simply compare the "Chase site" to direct. Most of the time it's the same (be careful to compare apples to apples). Or within a couple dollar. Sometimes it is more, but sometimes less.
When booking thru the Chase site, you have a choice to use UR points or credit card
You don't even have to use the Chase site if you want to use UR points. Chase has a good list of partners that you can transfer UR points to them (Southwest Airlines for example). Usually it's 1:1 but review carefully.

Like you, I've found some cheap flights lightly. Like $60 RT NS to Philly. I booked on the Chase site because price was same and since I use a CSR I got a "bonus" as it gets a 1.5% boost in points at the site.

Not to get all nerdy, but most people value UR points at 1 cent per point. So if you get that, it's "ok". The fun becomes trying to get more than that per point. The Chase travel site gives 1.25 cents per point for CSP and 1.5 cents for CSR (assuming price is the same). There are ways depending on how much work, time and effort you want to put in to get more.

And besides the dollar value of a point, there are other considerations. For example, some people prefer to use points at hotels that give them free upgrades as the entire family enjoys that. Others get "value" in using points to book first or business class, something they would normally never do. Or book to a place they would normally never travel.

Maybe someone has the answer?

If I have a chase sapphire reserved with 100k points and I downgrade to another card and open a sapphire preferred can I transfer the original 100k points to the preferred card and combine the bonus points with previous points?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding. But why wouldn't you just downgrade directly from CSR to CSP?

Wait, have you had the CSR long enough that you can get the bonus on the CSP? If that's the case, I believe your plan would work. While the Freedom cards are"cash back" cards they are really UR points. So assuming you don't spend the cash, one you reopen a CSP, you should be able to transfer.

My statement close date is 18th Nov, so it would be 4 yrs on 18th Nov that i would have received the bonus. So If i apply on the 7th Nov the last date for this offer, is there any chance of approval?

Not sure who most people are, but most of the ones I know value them somewhere north of 1.5 cents a point, usually nearer 2 when there's not a pandemic going on....

Because the minimum value a traveler can get for them is 1.5 cents, and you can usually get more like 2-2.5 cents for hyatt hotels and coach fares, and 4-6 cents a point for business class fares.

(even DURING the pandemic you can get 1.5 cents via CSR PYB)

Any chance the $95 annual fee could be waived for the first year?

First open a card that accept UR
then transfer UR
that change product or even close if needed.

If you close/downgrade before transfer out you may lose them

in a few years can open new CSR, transfer back.
