You can not have more than 1 Sapphire card at the same time, and you can not get a new Sapphire signup bonus if you received one on any Sapphire card in the last 48 months.
For anyone debating on whether to go for this, know that the all time high is 100k bonus points, making this a very lucrative opportunity.
You can- I've seen YMMV reports about how many days you need to wait between cancelling and new application though.
Also things to keep in mind:
Use any credits you might have on existing card you haven't used yet.
Insure you move your UR points to a different card before closing old one.

Gotcha. Thanks! Btw between this and reserve, which would you recommend? I've had the two other freedom cards for over 5 years and been wanting this card for a while now. Also planning on applying for global entry soon and traveling to get the bonus. So I feel like the reserve would already pay for the $300 credit and $100 Global Entry. Making it effectively cost only $150 for first year without the other perks.
So:
$100 TSA/GE credit
$300 Travel Credit (not through Chase since I need Hyatt stays for Globalist Status).
~4,000 extra points for the extra 1% travel vs preferred

Ignoring the signup bonus difference, the CSR is the better card for folks who travel-
and especially if you can get any use out of the hundreds of dollars in other credits ($180/yr in monthly instacart credits, $99/yr in Instacart+, $60/yr in monthly doordash credits, $20/yr avg across 5 years GE credit, $300 travel credit)
That means if you used all of those you're effectively MAKING over $100 profit above the annual fee- and that before putting any value on priority pass membership (hundreds cash cost) and the $56 every visit for 2 credit you get at dozens of airport restaurants with it.
Plus the higher rewards on travel spend, higher portal redemption (though that's not super useful compared to transfers for most airlines) and better travel insurance with CSR.
So really it comes down to a 60k vs 90k SUB... It MIGHT make sense to do the 90k SUB for this card and then product change to CSR after 1 year-- especially if you're someone unlikely to max value all the credits immediately.
Otherwise, well, the math is all above for any individual to run it for their own situation and see if the higher SUB is worth it or not.
you will get the bonus at the end of billing cycle whichever month you meet the 4K and 6K spend... say you spend 4k in first month , and 2K more in 2nd month, you will see 80K show up end first bill cycle and 10K extra end of 2nd bill
what happens if you return something? Say you purchased exactly $4k and got the SUB. then returned $1 or more, making you not meet the sub but you already received it.
I have an existing Chase Freedom Unlimited card that was a downgraded CSR from years ago.
I had a CSP card for years (pretty sure well over 4 years ago) that I canceled a year ago.
I drove the (20 miles each direction) nearest chase branch and applied.
The branch worker could not see that offer on my account. She also couldn't see any history of any other cards on my account, which she said was odd - she can usually see very old cards on people's accounts.. She called some number and they couldn't either. She created a new account to find the offer and I applied. It went into review.
I just called review and they told me it was rejected for having received SUB within 48 months. But they can't tell me when I last received it. Called card services and they can't even see a CSR or CSP card on my account history at all.
So no one can tell me when I last received SUB. I can't find it in my account. I am pretty sure it's been well over 4 years, but I'm rejected.
The only option I was given was to snail mail some address and hope someone can "research" the issue for me.
Call recon line. Ask what cards they think put you over 5/24. Every time they name one you're only an AU on say "I am not financially responsible for that card"
If you get a rep who doesn't care about that fact, HUCA.

Yes, authorized user is not a financially responsible party. My wife just got approved today and she is an authorized user on all my cards.
