Went to my local branch today and said I was looking for a travel card. They walked me through both the preferred and reserve. They just said upfront the preferred's first year fee was waived. I didn't have to ask for it. I was in and out in 20 minutes.

Is the $95 annual fee collected at opening or end of the year
If like the CSR, I think it's assessed on the first of the following you opened it. So if approved today, 5/1.

My wife opened a card last year and took advantage of the $1000 back. I was just approved for the card as well. Will we be able to cancel hers and receive the promotion again if I spend $4000 with the first three months?

Yes, you may cancel her card. But no, she won't be eligible to receive another Sapphire promotional bonus until at least 4 years have elapsed since the last bonus she earned.

"Sapphire cards: This policy lumps both the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card and the Chase Sapphire Reserve together, so you won't be able to get the bonus on one if you currently have the other. Additionally, the waiting period is doubled, as you can't get the bonus for one if you earned a bonus for the other within the last 48 months."
Reference: https://thepointsguy.com/guide/cr...ons/#chase

For clarification: you can't get the bonus for one if you earned a bonus for either card within the last 48 months. The clock starts from when you received the bonus, not from when you terminated the account.

I really appreciate your thorough response. The part that I wanted to clarify was that my wife was approved for the first card and my name was not on it. I was just approved for a card as well but would they consider us to be the same party? Thanks again-

You'll get the bonus as long as you got approved for the card (Chase will only approve a new card if you're eligible for the bonus) -- each person can do their own Sapphire bonus every 48mo

The bonus is attached to the primary cardholder whose name is on the monthly PDF statement -- bonus isn't attached to authorized users on the account so they can still do their own

Like JaTaN said, bonus eligibility requirements apply to the cardholder only.

Additional information: If neither of you asked for additional cards on your account (i.e., authorized users), then no financial institution will run any checks between the accounts. Not sure about regulatory agencies, but banks treat individual accounts as ... well ... individuals.

If either of you were added as an authorized user to the other's account, then your credit histories get blended. It doesn't matter who purchased the item, if the bill goes unpaid, both of your credit histories get dinged. Similarly, both of your credit histories will improve if the account is kept in good standing. This does not affect your eligibility for the bonus. This does affect whether you are eligible to apply for the card at all. Being an authorized user counts towards Chase's 5/24 policy, because of the blended credit histories. So, if you've applied for 4 credit cards in the past 24 months AND your wife applied for a credit card within the past 24 months with you an authorized user, Chase will disapprove your application.

Called recon a few days ago after getting a pending application. They wanted to move credit from an existing card to fund the sapphire preferred. We agreed to move a set amount of credit line, but the representative said it still needed further review. I called the automated line today, it said notice will be mailed out within 30 days after receiving the application.

Anyone here have similar experience? I've called recon in the past, but usually I'm approved on the spot. Not sure why the chase representative couldn't push the application through after we agreed to move credit line from an existing account to the sapphire.

This may be known but new to me:
In the chase up, when clicking this credit card, it will show your bonus journey. For example "your new account bonus: XX spent"
It shows exactly how much you have left to spent for bonus. I dont remember having this with my CSR a few years back.

just got credited 80000 pts upon statement closing, until 4/30 the points are worth 25% more at grocery store and home improvement stores via "pay yourself back", so 80k pts are worth $1k (gift card) purchase at those places, plus 2x total points at grocery store also until end of this month

Went to local chase branch and applied, within 10 mins I was out. Got all as mentioned like everyone $95 1st year fee waived and $50 grocery credit. I requested to expedite the shipping and banker called customer service to expedite, will receive card in 2 business days.

Quote from Knightshade :
yeah it's timing.

Different credits reset at different times.

Door dash reset was annual. $300 credit WAS annual for old card holders, but not new ones.

(the double dip on $300 was easier for legacy card holders, since that credit reset with your December statement regardless of when you signed up but still quite doable today).



So for example if you opened your card June 1 2020, you'd be able to use the first $60 DD credit anytime in 2020, then as soon as 2021 rolls round, use the second--- two uses for one AF.

The $300 credit on NEW card holders though resets with membership year.

So you use $300 first membership year.

Then your AF posts and the credit resets.

IMMEDIATELY use the second $300 credit.

Then before the due date on your AF, downgrade the card to a free one.

AF is refunded in full but you used the $300 credit twice.

Why do they refund the AF? And why would the AF post before the annual due date?

I checked with Chase Bank regarding whether redeeming UR points under the "Pay Yourself Back" points redemption option, would count against the 4K minimum spend requirement to receive the 80K bonus.

Chase's response was: "Redeeming your rewards will not be considered as a valid purchase. This will not be included on the $4,000 required spending."

Here's my question for those who might have experience in this area:

Supposedly, 6-8 weeks after meeting the bonus qualifications, Chase will issue me the 80K points. After receiving the bonus, can I immediately use the "Pay Yourself Back" adoption to redeem expenditures made within the past 90 days without penalty? Or would Chase deduct the amount redeemed against the 4K minimum spend requirement and retroactively deem that I was NOT eligible to have received the 80K bonus? (In other words, can Chase take back the bonus?)


Edit: Disregard my question. Upon further research, it seems that the program and categories will remain the same through September 2021. There's no rush for me to redeem points if that is the case.

"Pay Yourself Back" program has been extended through September 2021.
https://onemileatatime.com/chase-...k-feature/
https://upgradedpoints.com/chase-...-worth-it/

However, I'm not sure whether the purchase categories will change between now and then. My understand is that the "Pay Yourself Back" program was based on rotating categories.

Edit: Multiple media sources state that the categories will remain the same until the end of September. However, I have been unable to find any corroborating information published by Chase.
