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.
Can this actually be done? If so, how?
Call CS, request do downgrade your current CSR to an OG Freedom, CFU (if you have it already so you dont forfeit the SUB) or the Flex ( same stipulations as CFU) Wait approx a week and apply online (in branch takes approx 30 days before the conversion happens to appear in the system, online is approx 4 days)

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.
Same boat except got approved 2 weeks ago. Called customer service and they said anyone who got the CSR after 9/15/22 was eligible for the bump. Rep notated it in my account. I don't see any changes in my portal yet though.
Isn't the chase sapphire preferred deal with 80k points better a couple months ago ?
Different card with different perks. Putting aside the reality that the offer you mention was 'a couple months ago' and not 'today', whether the older CSP offer or the current CSR offer is 'better' depends on use case.
this sucks for those who applied the perferred card.
does not apply to previous cardmembers of any Sapphire credit card who received a new cardmember bonus within the last 48 months.
and i could actually use the airport lounges. maybe i should just upgrade it without taking the credit

Thanks for the info, will post update here if I get anything.

Thanks for the heads up. Got the preferred about a year ago so can't get this.
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.
CSR also provides the dining credit with Priority Pass. Amex Platinum doesn't. I have my wife as an authorized user (another 75 per year) and that grants us another PP membership. We effectively get 28 dollars per person dining credit for four people at many airport restaurants. Our home airport has a good restaurant and many bigger airports do too. With a family of four, that's $112 to eat, every time. What's great is you can use it at your departing and arriving airport too.

I didn't realize the AMEX didn't have that dining credit. Although to be honest, for the decade plus I've had priority pass I think I've used the dining credit once. The airports I fly out of I guess don't have restaurants that offer it.
Do you know if the other non-lounge locations (Minute Suites, spas, etc.) are included with the AMEX? Or is it strictly lounge access?
I fly out of DFW and the offerings are pretty terrible. The lounge is in the international terminal (so is the Centurion lounge for that matter) and I rarely fly out of there.
I've had this card for years and the fee is worth every penny. I've never had any complaints about lounge access. Some prefer AMEX Platinum, but I've never run into issues with Priority Pass. PP did seem to scale things back during the pandemic, but the last few times I flew most of their agreements were back in place.
The card easily pays for itself and then some with the travel credits, Global Priority, PP, etc.

^^ This is the correct way to use it. If you're a family of 4+, this thing is phenomenal for travel. Throw in massages and stuff and it makes my travels as pleasant as can be.
Just cancelled my account. Can't justify $550 per year even after $300 credits it was not worth it
Do you just not spend a lot? For me I cruise to the break even point within a few months. $250 net for the ability to transfer points to partners (OR get minimum 1.5X redemption), 3X on travel and dining, priority pass, Global Entry Fee waiver, additional partner rewards if you use Doordash/Instacart/GoPuff, Lyft multipler, etc.
Some of the recent benefit boosts on the Freedom Unlimited did cannibalize the card a little, since they get 3X dining also, but it's really the multipliers and ability to transfer to partners that make all the difference. And if you're super efficient at transfering to partners and don't necessarily need the partner rewards and priority pass, the CSP is even better (AF is only $95).
