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.

I own this card and my spouse using this as add-on card from my account. Now can I remove my spouse from my account and ask to apply for this card individually? Will spouse still get poits?
I want to 👎🏼 this offer because I got the card like a week before they offered 80k bonus points. They wouldn't give me the extra points when I called 😢😂
If you open the card in the branch for having the AF waived for first year, can you still add refer a friend details in the branch?
Are you asking if you can apply in branch AND use a friend's referral (so that they can get a referral bonus)? No, you can't do that. You either apply in branch and waive the annual fee, OR you use your friend's referral link to apply online (with no annual fee waiver).
Just go ahead and apply. If you are not eligible for the bonus, you will instantly be rejected without costing you a hard pull.
This was my experience last year. I tried to apply in branch and was told I was ineligible (no hard pull on my credit). I think I jumped the gun and was still within 4 years of receiving the bonus from my CSR. Waited a few more weeks (maybe a month?) and tried again. Got approved a second time in branch, no issues.

Confirmed, I just opened Chase Sapphire Preferred card with the local Chase bank. They waived $95 annual fees for the first year. Even better, they offered to expedite it in 2 business days to my house. I'm going to Vegas next week and blowing $4,000 is a piece of cake 😂

You can't blame the offer because of your bad timing. Maybe you can downgrade the card to something else and then re-apply.
Sorry for noob question, never done Travel card. I've a trip coming up and would like to get this card. So after spending $4k in first 3 months we get 80,000 bonus points.
Can the bonus points be redemmed as Cash or credit towards bill payment?
On those $4k spent on travel will I get additional 5x points for travel?
Can I use the points to book future International travel with Any airline like Emirates or Etihad? Or can it be used via Epedia/Orbitz ?

Travel cards get you a boost on the points by transferring the points to the partners. Base value 1pt for 1 cent is for cashback redemption.
80k pts = $800 cash/credit
but you get more value by transferring the pts to their partners and book a higher value hotel or ticket for the same amount of points.

In addition to what HuBu said,
Yes, the 4k spend will give you points as well.
You can redeem 80k points for 800$ statement credit (or like what hubu said, you can transfer to airlines) or use sapphire travel (web site or customer support) to book any travel worth 1000$.
You can use the card to book direct with airlines or travel sites like Expedia/Orbitz, all ate same and you will earn travel related points.

Highly doubt they denied the extra points if it was a week prior. Would have tried my luck with a different person.
Downgrade and reapply won't work due to 48 months promo limit.

My misunderstanding I guess, they only said they got the card, not the bonus.
