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 Frown.
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.

Wow, so is it like 125 credit each year for groceries?

Nope! At the time groceries was one of Pay-Yourself-Back categories with extra 25% redemption bonus and the offer was long expired.

I suggest you google Chase 2/30 and 5/24 rules.

And no issue with her opening a Nordstrom Visa credit card back in 12/2019? That should not affect her approval for Chase product correct?

If the last time I received a sapphire bonus was 4/14/18 and the statement closed on 5/15/18, when is the safe time to apply to make sure I get the 4 year time line correct?

Thanks

The promo I got was only being offered in the branch and was the annual fee waived & $125 in free statement credits for groceries. On top of the bonus points.

I was mistaken $50 in grocery credit plus annual fee waived! Looks like those applying in branch can still at least get the first annual fee waived. 80k isn't as good as 100k bonus though!! https://slickdeals.net/f/15070267-chase-sapphire-preferred-card-spend-4-000-in-first-3-months-earn-100k-points?page=380#commentsSection

They gave me a bit lower credit limit than what I would typically get I think, but decent enough I am not worried about it, YMMV on credit limit.

Application was on the computer I had to click a couple digital signature and yes instant approval for me, also YMMV for instant approval.
Do they ask for any sort of documents for verification like income such as tax forms, pay stubs, etc. when you apply at the branch? Or is it similar to doing it at home on your computer, but you just do it on their computer instead? Before you start the process at the branch computer does it mention annual fee waived for 1st year?

Nope, no additional documents for me, instant approval.

Where did it show for you that 1st year annual fee is being waived? On the computer you applied or some document at the branch?

My account got made and I did not get charged a yearly fee on the account, so no fee in branch application.

I applied today in branch. I was seeing the offer in my Credit Journey, but wanted to get that Annual Fee Waived!! The gentleman I worked with also called Chase to make sure that I was eligible for the bonus before putting through my application. As others have stated, they waive the first year's annual fee when you apply in branch. (I simply asked and it seemed like a normal practice.) He asked for my household income and that was it.
He also called Chase again after approval to get my card expedited (2-3 business days) and helped me add an authorized user for the account. My paperwork reflected all the bonus info so all good to go. For reference, I previously had the introductory 100,000 Chase reserve bonus and downgraded in the last 6 months to a Chase Freedom Flex. Just sharing my experience. Good luck to all.

I had my sapphire card for 5 years now, is there any thing I can benefit? Is there a way to waive the yearly fees? Any advises?

Oh so if you previous had the Reserve and cancelled it, you can get this promo again?

A family member recently downgraded their Reserve last month or so, does that mean they can apply for a Preferred and get promo again?

Do you mind sharing how much initial credit you got approved for? Was it more than $5K?
