Nice deal, Pity I still have the Ink Business Preferred active and just applied for Freedom Unlimited... A word of caution with their UR Travel service. I had very negative experience with them lately.
On one occasion, I planned my conference and booked the hotel with UR Travel instead of using the conference link. The price was similar, so I decided to earn a few points... That was bad choice because:
They charged the full amount immediately instead of placing a hold.
When I wanted to shorten my stay, it took me almost 2 hour on the phone to change it. And even then, their portal still shows the old travel dates and it took them 2 weeks to refund the difference, so that I had to pay the balance first.
On the other occasion, I tried to book a cruise with them - even worse headache. They do have some cruises online but not all of them. And definitely they don't have any of the optional packages the cruise lines now have to sweeten the deal. My cruise was not available on the portal so I ended up spending 2-3 hours on the phone with very ignorant UR rewards employee who wanted nothing more than to end the call.
And most importantly... The Ultimate Rewards Travel has been outsorurced abroad, to multiple call centers in at least 2 multiple locations (I heard 2 different type of accents, both equally bad). The UR Travel call center used to be 100% English speaking, very knowledgeable, very nice and attentive representatives. Not anymore. Upon your call you are getting to the badly accented employee who is clueless as to what you are asking such that you have to repeat yourself 2-3 times. Mid you, English is my second language too, so I don't mind repeating, knowing that my accent is also bad. But I also know that it is not that bad so I have to repeat myself so much so it gets tiring. There is also bad lag between you talking and call center responding. This is confirmed on every occasion I had to interact with them. The only way to solve this is to immediately request the US Representative. At least for now this works, but who knows for how long.
Thanks for the heads up. Refer my wife to sign up. That's 15k for referral and 80,000 once the spending requirements are met.
That's what OP said. 80k + 10k in branch.

Has anyone called Chase or sent secure message to ask when their last Chase Sapphire Preferred bonus date was? Was it quick for them to find? I need to find out but don't want to draw attention to how many bonuses I get on all their cards. =)
I know my last time was in 2019.

Best way to find out is look at your statements from that old card (if you still have access to them physical or electronic) and see when the bonus was paid out. Your statements show how many points are awarded each cycle.
That is how I found out to confirm it has been 4 years since my last bonus.
Your Chase Sapphire Preferred card must be open for at least 1 year before you upgrade to the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. This is due to legislation known as the CARD Act of 2009
Under the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act, card providers can't charge cardholders a higher annual fee on the same account in the first year the account is open. Thus, you must keep your current card for at least a year before requesting an upgrade or downgrade.

Thanks. I usually do this for my 2 year bonus requirements, but the 4 year requirement goes back to far and I don't have the account available anymore in my online chase account.
Maybe I could find it in an email statement notification though.
See a note now that I was approved 1/2020, darn, have to wait until next year.
I have had a base chase sapphire card (not preferred or reserve) for >5 years. If I change the card type to a different line (ex freedom), can someone advise how long I need to wait before applying for this promotion? I haven't had a sapphire bonus is >4 years. Thanks in advance!

My wife has 2 chase cards and I have 2 cards with chase. I am thinking to open this card on my wife's name. Can I refer her and get additonal referral points? Does is stack with in branch offer or if I do online with referral it's going to be 90k point?
When using this card in foreign countries are exchange rates going to be horrible over using a debit card? I have schwab debit card which doesn't charge me any fees.
The way I see the 10k/$2k additional spend is 5%+1% back. And you have three months of it, so I don't think 90k is a bad deal at all.
and that's at bare-minimum values...
If any of that 2k spend is in the 3x categories it's more...and if you use the points for travel it's also more (25% more per point in the portal, potentially a LOT more via transfers to partners)

I'm not saying you didn't- but that would be in significant opposition to chases longstand policy and, arguably, the actual law.
