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.

What's the easiest way to figure out if you've gotten a Sapphire bonus in the past 48? Would they be able to tell me if I go to a branch? Hoping I don't need to review 48 months worth of statements...
I'm in the same boat. I am certain I had opened this card around this time of year in 2018. I don't know when I received the bonus, and I called Chase last night, and they don't have any records of me even having the card! I'm not sure if I'm safe to proceed or not.

Check on Credit Karma, they will show the date you opened the account.

Is the Walmart grocery credit $50 on this card every year or only the first year?
No grocery credit. Now they have $50 credit for Hotels.

I'm kind of thinking, if Chase doesn't even know when I opened this card, I should be in the clear and should qualify for the bonus.

I just came back from the new Chase branch that they opened a few minutes from my house. I opened a business checking account with a $20k deposit and if I spend $4k in the next 90 days and have 5 transactions through the account, they'll give me a bonus of $750. While there I tried to see if I had received a Sapphire bonus within the past 48 months but neither the person behind the desk, the person she called nor the person that person linked us to (the "Sapphire specialist") was able to tell me or even figure out if I'd ever had a sapphire account before. I would take that as gold except they were also telling me I've never closed any Chase accounts in the past and I know that's not correct... I closed a Chase Freedom account last year and I'm pretty sure I've had other Chase accounts in the past.

So anyway, I went ahead an opened a Sapphire Preferred credit card and we'll see if I get the bonus. The $95 AF was waived for the first year. Process took about an hour.

Edit: I don't have to spend $4k for the checking acct to qualify for a bonus. I was mixing that up with the requirements for the sapphire card.

Can I use the $50 hotel credit after getting the card? Or do I need to wait after account opening anniversary?

Applied in branch with first year fee waiver, but application went into pending review status. This morning new card showed up in my online account.

Does anyone know if I link this card to my PayPal account and set it as my primary funding and pay someone thorough PayPal will it count towards the $4000 purchase threshold?

I don't have many purchases typically that would fulfill spending $4k in 3 months.

what are some ways I can artificially spend this? Do Paypal/venmo transfers work?

I cancelled this card last week. I have to wait 4 years to sign up again in order to get this type of promo, right?

I have my $2,830 homeowners ins bill coming up and auto ins soon after. Just those two will get me close. Health ins can usually be paid via card as well.

Same. Does the 48 months start at date of opening card, date of bonus awarded or date of bonus redeemed?
