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 were to apply in branch for the CSR instead of CSP, would they waive the first year fee for that? I think in my situation (sitting on 250k points) the 50k points promo, the 1.5x redemption rate and Priority Pass would be a better deal than the 80k points with CSP. That's all IF the yearly fee were waived for the first year.

I got my csr 4 years ago, and I need a née card for points. Do I have to close my car first and then apply for this card? Too bad this offer is no longer 100k, but 80k still good.

I'm a Chase checking account holder and on the "You're already approved" Tab, it said I qualified for the 100K bonus which I applied and received.

Perhaps you should use their pre-approvals tab and see if it says 100K instead 80K as the sign up bonus.

Am I only allowed one Sapphire account? I currently have a Sapphire Reserve, I used to also have a preferred account and closed that. I'd like to get the preferred bonus and I was just rejected, because I already have a Sapphire account.

Yes, only one card (preferred or reserved)

From their site:
This product is available to you if you do not have any Sapphire card and have not received a new cardmember bonus for any Sapphire card in the past 48 months.

You will need to downgrade the CSR to a Freedom. If you are pass the 48 months, you can apply for the CSP with intro bonus.

Good timing as I have been looking for a new card. But there is no branch within ~70 miles so travelling for this doesn't seem worth the time, etc. I just was hoping they would waive the AF.

Is there a good site that compares all the various credit cards as far as benefits, etc?

mostly No. You have to apply with banker and they get credit and you get the fee wave

No. They don't have an offer for the other one.
