Can someone tell me How do I know if I need to lower my freedom card credit limit in order to get approve for CSP card? I have 25k credit limit on Freedom card. Is it too much? Should I lower it? I don't want to lower my credit limit if I don't need to.

Thanks in advance

Is there a way to check when I last received my last Sapphire bonus? I closed my account last year after years of having it but I can't remember when I opened it or when I received the bonus. Called Chase and was told by representative in CC department told me they can't check.

I had a same question also but then I realized I can check my email for the welcome email. If you applied online and you don't delete your emails you search your email too for welcome email date. I hope this helps.

If it's over or close to 50% of your income then you should lower it. Minimum credit line for the CSP is $5k.

Since your wife already has a bunch of points I would lean towards CSR and transfer points. Use points for the 1.5 reimburse until end of Sept:
Grocery stores
Home improvement stores
Dining establishments, including take-out and delivery services

$300 travel credit can be used on gas and groceries until EOY so you should be able to take advantage of that full credit.

If you plan to do any travel then the 1.5 thru the travel portal would probably push me over the edge to go with CSR. Amex is a good offer but is only once per lifetime where the CSR can be churned every 4 years. So I would go with CSR first and then you could double dip on the Amex, but based on Chase 5/24 rule and not knowing where you are I would go with CSR first. When annual fee comes up next year I would cancel though and move points to freedom or other UR card until you or the wife gets the CSP or CSR again.

Wait, PYB was extended to September? April was last I heard

I just phoned them and they told me the date. Also you'll get automatically rejected before the credit pull if it's been less than 4 years which is actually quite useful.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Chase took a card that rivaled the Amex Platinum and destroyed it in a matter of 12 months. With cards such as the Flex Freedom and the Flex Unlimted, there is no need for the Sapphire Reserve unless you use their travel portal for the additional 50% points. I went back to Amex after 2 years with the CSR card. I actually have both the Amex Platinum (for the 5 points for travel and hotels) and the Amex Gold (for the 4 points on Dining and Supermarkets) at a cost of $800 per year. This seems like a lot, but Amex has so many more bonus point opportunities than Chase. And if you use R@kuten, you can link those points to membership rewards. I have accumulated 220K points in a matter of 5 months. A big portion of the points came from bonus categories that Chase doesn't really offer. In full disclosure, I also received 100k in sign up points. So really I have accumulated 120K in points in 5 months which is still pretty good.
Wait how flex card replace reserve, one the main reason i hold reserve card is to book flights with 50% pts bonus, last year they allow 50% bonus on grocery so no comlaints. Im going to travel again this year. Is the flex card has some similar benefit I dont know?

Can confirm receipt of 50 grocery credit even though web portal made no mention of the benefit. I applied in branch with AF waived.

Pay yourself back is a program chase started during covid in which you can redeem your points on any dining and grocery charges for 1.5x with the chase sapphire reserve. I think the preferred has it at 1.25. So if i have 10,000 points to redeem i can apply $150 towards as a statement credit for any grocery or food/dining charges in my history for the last few months. Great program

The Sapphire Preferred is only a 25% bonus when redeemed for travel. So $1000 only when redeemed for travel using the Chase portal.

The Sapphire Reserve is the one that has a 50% bonus. But that bonus is only worth $600 x 1.5 = $900. And again, that's only if redeemed for travel or using Pay Yourself Back, which is scheduled to stop at the end of April.

Didn't know "pay yourself back" was ending soon. EDIT: Derp. I thought pyb was the same thing as cashing out points. I kept reading the thread and see that it's a special benefit for csr. my question below still stands though.

I'm sitting on 300k points with the expectation of opening a sapphire reserve when my 48 months expire (it may have expired already bc I got in on the last month of the 100k points - was that Jan 2017?) and getting the 1.5x on travel.

It sounds like I may be better off taking the cash at 1x and not risking a points devaluation.
