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.

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?
I believe so. I downgraded my Chase Reserve to a Chase Freedom Flex, which I still have. (Seems the like your family member did the same!) I believe you are eligible for the offer as long as it has been 48 months since you received your previous bonus points. I definitely recommend calling or perhaps asking someone in branch to call to make sure you are eligible before applying for the card.
How do I use my referral link in the branch if I want my wife to apply for this card since I am currently have a CS card? Is it even possible or only can be done online at home? I want to do it at the branch to get AF waived.
You can first downgrade your CSR to another no-fee card within the UR family such as Freedom Unlimited. Wait 3 to 5 days after your product change, then go to a local branch to sign up the CSP and waive the annual fee for the first year. If you have friends or family members currently having a Sapphire card, you may sign up via their referral link. Once you are approved, he or she will get 15K points for the referral.

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?
No referral when signing up in branch. You can either apply via a referral link for 15K points, or in branch for AF waived. Not both.

Credit limit is YMMV like I previously said, it varies by person and their credit history.
