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.

Did you apply online or in person in branch? CSR told me to wait 30days after downgrade to be eligible for promotion..
You only need to wait 4 days for product changes. Waiting 5-7 days would be the safe route. 30 days is for cancellations. Disregard what the rep says, they're just regurgitating the official word.
Anyone know when this expires? I had this (or similar) deal over 4 years ago. I plan to downgrade my saphire card then go to local branch for the deal. Has anyone tried this? I was hoping you can do it the day after downgrading but I'm not sure how long that takes.
I got charged the $95 membership fee pretty much immediately after opening the card. Is that expected? I thought it would get waived for the first year.

Why would you think that? Waived fee isn't anywhere in the offer terms.

The $95 AF was waived for the first year earlier but this year you'd be paying $95 on card approval. I did this deal in Sep '21 when they offered 100k bonus points with first year AF waived.
When did your card arrive? It's been 8 days and still has not arrived. They said 3 to 5 days in email.
3-5 days once it is actually mailed out via usps snail mail, You'll likely get the card in about 2 weeks after approval which should be anyday now. They don't ever mention the processing time for new cards. I recommend asking them to expedite it so at least you receive it faster once it is mailed for future cards.
Just applied online, forgot to remove my freezes and called in, they submitted and I was instantly approved. I also requested expedited/rush delivery 1-2 business days. Normal is around a week.
