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.

if i singed up online can i call chase to get the $95 waived? please advise on what is best to do now..
Currently, the annual fee is waived in branch only so if you applied online, it isn't waived. The reason most likely is so that they can present you with other products.
more redemption value on travel purchased through Chase Points are worth 50% more when you redeem them for flights, hotels, car rentals and cruise lines through Ultimate Rewards.

BUT THIS CARD OFFERS 25%?
50% is on the Chase Sapphire Reserve. Which has a $550 annual fee (and other perks)
This card is the Chase Sapphire Preferred- which has a $95 annual fee (waived in branch first year) and offers a 25% bonus in the travel portal.
Both allow transfers to partners, which is where the real value usually lies anyway.
(though depending on how much value you get out of the extra perks the CSR might still be worthwhile over this card apart from the difference in signup bonus)
is it worth it to keep the annual fee for the next year or just downgrade it to no annual fee? how much purchase will make it worth it to keep the annual fee? i do travel once or twice a year is it worth it in my situation? please advise..

If you redeem 38k points for travel through the Chase portal you break even assuming you get $0 benefit out of anything else on the card.
In other words 38k points = $380 for cash on any other Chase card or 38k points = $475 in travel through this card on the Chase portal.
It is valuable especially when you combine with Freedom/Freedom Flex and Freedom unlimited cards because you can move/combine points. And of course if you can use the other benefits of the Sapphire card.
Signed up at the 80K promo, just got my card about a week ago in the mail. Then yesterday got the 100k offer in the mail. Think I could talk them into honoring it?
Does anyone think I should wait for the 100k offer or just go for this ? Cause I applied for Amex blue cash preferred in the month of April.
Go for this now before new Amex card shows on your credit report. Just make sure you look how people are getting $95 fee first year waived in branch!
Since Chase does not have a once in a lifetime language like Amex (So hopefully that BCP had a very good offer) you could always get bonus on Sapphire card after 48 month waiting period.

So its totally worth it to pay the annual fee of $95 year because you can get 25% more in total travel correct? is this what i'm hearing?
