Was approved for this card @80K signup bonus a couple weeks ago. Some notes:
This is a great card for anyone who travels or plans to soon travel!
Call your local branch and see if they offer 80K signup + first year fee waived. If you do apply in branch, allot at least 30 minutes for this .
If you have a Peloton membership, note that the Preferred will credit you $60 total off fees, but I think only through June, so act quick!
I didn't get my card after a week, despite a 1-2 day delivery promise. I called in, and they said, oh, whoops, we forgot to ship it! (and they then indeed shipped it 2nd day air via UPS).
You'll get the most value from the 80K points BY FAR by transferring them strategically to airline/hotel partners (most often: United and Hyatt). Do some reading across blogs to learn more.
I know when I applied for this card, I did it in the branch and got a $125 grocery credit incentive. Basically every time I shopped at a grocery store I received a credit back until the $125 credit was maxed…. It may be worth it to call a banker & ask if they have that promo as it was only for in branch applications, not online & worth it to a trip to the bank, if you ask me!
I don't think there's been a better offer on the reserve in many years?
Outside of the SUB the CS > CSP used to be a no brainer, but with the higher AF on the CSR, and the improved benefits/earn on CSP it's a tougher choice now.
Today it's $155 more (removing the travel credit from the price difference) for CSR...
SUPER generously if we count the GE/TSA credit as $20 a year that drops it to $135/yr more for CSR.
For the $135 you get:
Priority Pass (still the good one that includes restaurants unlike Amex)
Marginally better travel insurance coverage
"free" roadside assitance (up to 4 calls a year, max $50 per call)
You do get significantly better purchase protection (10k per claim instead of $500- but then I'm buying most expensive stuff with a Citi card for 2 years of extra warranty anyway)
1.5x for your points in the travel portal vs 1.25 for CSP- but this is rarely a worthwhile use of points for most folks compare to transfers.
10x points (vs 5x on CSP) for cash spend in the travel portal or Chase Dining portals- but those again aren't frequently the ideal way to book for most folks anyway.
So as I say, when this was $35-55/yr it was easy... ONE 2 person use of priority pass at an airport restaurant more than covered this- if you get anything out of any other benefit you're golden.
At $135 it's much more marginal for many.

I am looking to get one of the Sapphire cards again soon. What would be the better move? Just getting the Chase Sapphire Reserve, or getting the Chase Sapphire Preferred first and then product switching it to the Reserve after the bonus? Does it matter?
Depends if you expect you'd get any significant value out of the extras on the CSR in the next 12 months.
Chase won't let you product change any earlier than that.
If not- get the CSP with the better bonus, then anytime 12 months after or later you can product change whenever you're going to get any benefit from the CSR.
how does the 50 annual Ultimate Rewards Hotel Credit work? book thru them or rebate anywhere?

A statement credit will automatically be applied to your account when your card is used for hotel accommodation purchases made through the Ultimate Rewards program.
Redeem points for 1.25 cents each to pay back the following charges:
Airbnb: Through 6/30/22

Got in last time and same bonus....pretty legit. I used it to buy a Rolex and got the points back within a month. Then paid it off, flipped the rolex and made $15k net profit. Bummer I left the card open all this while cos I could have closed it and jumped back on this deal.
This definitely is the one of the best CC offers recently other than the Capital One venture but it had high credit score for qualification (760+).
Only eligible for one Sapphire bonus every 48 months so you didn't miss anything by not closing the card out.
