If you do open two cards one thing to consider is that you would have to spend $8,000 in three months to get the sign up bonus for each. 80k points is pretty decent so that might be worth it if you can spend that much, unless you find a good way to manufacture spending.
The authorized user fee may or may not be worth it, depending upon your use case. We have done it before because when we all travel having two cards will allow us all to get into the priority pass lounge without an additional cost. Also, my wife is able to use the lounge when she travels without me. If you don't place much importance on lounge access the fee for another user might not be worth it. I don't know if there are many other benefits your spouse would miss out on without being an authorized user.
Thanks again for the quick response. Another benefit of having wife as an authorized user is she can use the card on a daily basis and we can accumulate the points faster. But I guess we can do the same just by her using Chase Freedom (or other cards having Ultimate Rewards).
Has anyone who had the sapphire preferred actually gotten their 10% anniversary bonus? I'm ready to product change and apply for a reserve but I've been waiting on the anniversary bonus to post. From what I've seen online it doesn't look like people have actually gotten the bonus…..
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.
PYB does seem optimal these days. I find it just easier to buy flights with the cash.
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.
is that credit on specific restaurants or any airport restaurants?
Why does it matter which card you down grade to? As long as it's not a sapphire card, it should be good, right?
Yes but downgrading to the regular freedom (OG) gives u the option to get the SUB of the Flex should u decide to apply for it later. And one is Visa vs Mastercard..
Might have been answered already but here it goes - can you xfer points between spouses? I have a CSP I got just around 18 months ago so I wouldn't get the bonus on this but my wife could, but having separate points doesn't help much. We wouldn't keep the card for long but could justify some of the AF by getting her GE (I've had it for over a decade, she doesn't have any cards that offer this perk).

Yes , you can.

To add to this, you have to call the first time to get the accounts linked but after the first time you'll be able to transfer online

Won't the annual fee hit the card as well when the anniversary bonus points hit? And how would that affect the PC/downgrade?
I've had this card for years. It's great for folks who travel
I use lounges around the world and take my wife with me as a guest. It's great. Free food, drinks, better bathrooms. etc.
The rewards points add up on flights and restaurants really fast
$300 return in travel cuts down the big annual cost
All in all it's a good card for those who travel. Not worth it for someone who doesn't travel as much.

You usually get a prorated refund when you product change, from my experience.
Was mainly waiting for my $50 hotel credit to be available again, which it is. Booked a hotel and got that credit but kinda want the 1,000 points anniversary bonus. It's supposed to post 60-90 days after anniversary but I haven't been able to find any information on anyone actually getting the bonus though…..
Might just eat the 1k points I'm waiting on at this point since I'm not really getting any new data =\ . Don't want the 80k bonus to disappear while I wait for a bonus that probably won't even come
I signed up on 9/17 with the 60K. Sent a secure message to see of I can still get the 80K if I meet the requirement. They said no. Called a few days later and the CSR made a note and told me it will auto give me 80K once I met the spend. I met the minimum spend on Friday. I already see 80K+ points pending to my account.
I applied for the card and it mentioned it was submitted for review. Closed the window and didn't know if there was a confirmation number or not. I didn't get any emails.
I think the last card I applied for got approved almost immediately.
Does that mean I got rejected? Lol
Wondering if anyone had any issues
Assuming you meet all the requirements to apply (under 5/24, have good credit and all…), it could just be their fraud dept needing to verify it's you. Happened to me recently.
