I may have to jump on this sooner then later since I'm past the 48 month mark and rather not delay it. Also between my wife and I we have about 300k UR points so after the spend and sub and other Chase usage we should be at about 400k total. That's a easy $6000 using PYB while still building UR points and for me personally is the easiest and best practical value. The only crappy part that I hear is that some are not able to downgrade to the OG freedom card anymore, which kind of sucks.

This or AMEX Plantium?
I have had both (currently have AMEX Platinum, closed CSR earlier this year) and I much prefer CSR. The transfer partners are much better and that is what I primarily use my points for.
The AF on the Platimum is way too high and they a lot of their benefits are superfluous and not worth the extra cost of the AF ($100 credit at Saks, $200 airline FEE credit where you have to choose an airline at the start and it only applies to incidental fees (unless you game it on United which could go away at any moment), Walmart+ credit, $200 hotel credit for hotels I would never stay at, Uber cash, Soulcycle credit). A bunch of benefits that I would otherwise not use.
CSR HAD some of that, but the fee is a lot less, and again, better transfer partners which is the big thing.

It depends on your uses on the credits. For me I get the full 200 on hotel. 200 on airline. 200 on Uber(for Uber eats) so I really get the fee back. For CSR you get 300 back so you're still down 250 effective fee. So for that reason for me, I get better lounges and it's effectively cheaper with platinum

Oh, I use it all too, but for most of it I wouldn't use it otherwise. I used the $200 hotel credit for an $800 a night room in Seattle that without the credit I would have just stayed at a $300 hotel.
I prefer doordash but I use uber eats because of the credit. I wouldn't use it otherwise.
Incidentals on airlines is a awful perk. But I use it to buy flight credit with united even though united flights out of dfw are awful. I would never use the credit otherwise.
Centurion lounge CAN be nice, but most aren't. Dfw is middling. Iah is laughable. Las is fine but always has a line 50+ deep waiting to get in. Etc.
And csr does provide doordash and instacart benefits if you want to add everything up.
But again, for point transfers, csr blows amex platinum away. And that's what most important for me.

Yeah Hyatt is my favorite. Which ones on chase do you generally use? Besides Hyatt I have found cash still beats the rewards. So I'm sitting on 500k or so waiting for a biz class opportunity. Otherwise economy generally doesn't provide me any value above 1.5

Hyatt for sure. Just used 150k points for the hyatt vendome in paris for a week. Hell of a deal.
What are the rules on getting the bonus if you got it before?
We can't get the bonus if we currently have the other sapphire card. Otherwise, can only get the bonus every 4 years?
Just opened my CSR 15 days ago. Anyone know if it'll automatically switch or is it worth contacting customer service to bump it up to 80k? Is the extra 20k in points worth the $100 in annual fee?
I currently have a CSR. I saw a video today that implied I can downgrade my CSR to something else then upgrade it back to the CSR and get the 80k bonus. I haven't claimed in Chase promos in years and the 5/24 doesn't affect me.
Debating doing this and combining with the 50% off apple products to upgrade iPhones....feels like it might be the best (non-trade in / new line) deal.

Can this actually be done? If so, how?
Product change your CSR to a Freedom Unlimited or Freedom Flex. Wait a month or so. Sign up for a new CSR. You can't get a bonus from product change or upgrade.
Also keep in mind that it has to be 48 months since you last received a bonus on a Sapphire card.
Was approved and received card a week ago, wondering if reward will be automatically bump up or I need to call/chat with customer service to take advantage of this.

Can you expand on the inability to downgrade? Does that just apply to the OG Freedom or do they not let you downgrade to any non-annual fee card anymore?
