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.

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.
Agree, ask for it to be expedited. I didn't, and it took about 10 days to arrive.
But I was nearly done with the spend by that point anyway - because you can add the card to Apple Pay and begin using it immediately (also recommended).
I signed up during the 60k offer, anyone have experience in calling customer service to get the point difference?
Ymmv, but Usually they allow if your bonus points haven't hit yet. For example, you did not finish the 4K spend, or you did but haven't gotten the 80k points. Ask for current higher offer, and they tell you request will be submitted to whatever group and they make a decision in 2 weeks. I had this happen with two of my cards recently and they gave me the additional points in like 2 weeks after I called

I signed up for the Sapphire card back in mid February and received the 60k points last month. At this point I figured there was no way I was going to be able to receive the additional 20K. I decided to call customer support last week Friday and politely asked if it was possible to get the the additional 20K. The agent said she would place a "memo" on my account and it would be reviewed by the "marketing team". Just checked my account today out of curiosity and I see the points were retroactively credited to my account. I didn't think they were going to approve it.
I hope you can get the same outcome. I think the main factor is how long ago the account was open. Good luck!

80K + 10K = 90K after spending $6k within 6 months.
----------------
Does anyone know the details involved? Can I just spend 1k every month for 6 months or 6k all in one month?
Or do you have to spend $4k within the first 3 months then spend another $2k in the next 3 months? Fine print seems to be missing...

You have to spend the first 4k within the first 3 months.
And have hit the 6k total spend before another 3 months goes by.
Nobody cares if you do it FASTER than that for either part, you just can't do it any slower.
Also, after spending the $4000, how much cash can you get back instead of the reward points?
