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.

If I open this CSP card, Will I be able to transfer 80K points to southwest credit card later that I am planning to open in June/July?
I doubt these points will go towards companion pass though?
To be clear, you absolutely can transfer the 80,000 points to your Southwest Rapid Rewards account. It's not the same as transferring to your Southwest Visa card (as you stated) though. Those two accounts are not linked - but each is linked (or can be) to your Rapid Rewards account. And yes, I'm pretty sure you're right about the points not counting toward the companion pass.

Thank you, sorry I meant rapid reward account. I was hoping to have these points in addition to the SW points. Then I can use the points to get SW tickets.
Am I thinking it correctly.

Yes, you have it right. These bonus points will simply be Ultimate Rewards points, and they can transfer to many partners, Southwest included. Once you transfer them over, they behave like any other Rapid Rewards points.

Got my card in the mail, looks like the quality of the metal card itself has gone down vs previous one. A family member got in on the last deal (100K points) and their card is much heavier and not as bendable vs the current ones. The design is different and it also appears to use less metal and feels more plastic-like.

Yes-- however for SW in particular transferring might not be best used of points-- this tends to be more so if someone in your family has a CSR.

If you book through Chase with a CSR you get 1.5 cents a point for southwest fares.

Plus it counts as a cash booking so you get RR miles added to your account too- which count toward status as well.

Versus transferring to SW where your points are usually only worth 1.3 cents, and there's no nice business or first class cabins to move up to like other airlines.


With only a CSP (where the portal only gives you 1.25 cents a point) you're PROBABLY going to do slightly better transferring--- but it's worth checking the math both ways to be sure as sometimes the points can be worth more or less for a specific route-- or the points you'd earn with a cash flight might make enough of a difference for the chase route to be better.



Quote from hansvelas :
Ah dang, just realized this was only for the Preferred card.

Wtf, why would the Preferred have more of a sign up bonus than the Reserve?

Because the CSP is a less premium card- thus needs more incentive for people to sign up for it rather than the CSR (since you can't have both)

Got approved for $9400 in-branch. Annual fee waived for the first year.
For context, I have a 674 avg score (730 Experian). It recently plummeted because of high usage in one of my low-limit cards. However, I have no missed payments, and perfect history otherwise.

Banker also called to have the card expedited to my address in 1-3 days.

Anyone know what credit score is required for applying for this card. I heard you need 700-750+?. Not sure...

I just applied for this last Friday. Approved in branch almost instantly and credit rating at the time was 722, nothing spectacular.

I already have 2 Chase cards. Apply for this one was a breeze. I wonder if they pulled credit check? I find it interesting that this card gives lower limit than Freedom Flex like 6K lower.

Sure, as long as he otherwise qualifies based on all the other chase rules (5/24, 2/30, 48-month, etc)
