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.

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).
How do you add the card to your virtual wallet if you haven't received any info on it yet?
Can my wife refer me if I have authorized user card already on her account. Does the referral also have 80K promo?
This product is available to you if you do not have any Sapphire card and have not received a new cardmember bonus for any Sapphire card in the past 48 months.
For some data points - I had CSP for about 4 years. Downgraded that card to a Freedom, then applied for CSP again 5 days later and was approved
Does that qualify you for the bonus though?

If you log in to your Chase account in the top right is a link to the Ultimate Rewards portal. Click that and select your CSP account. You should see some kind of meter at the top indicating how much you need to spend to get whatever amount of points.
I have a Chase Sapphire Signature (no annual fee, downgrade from Chase Reserve) I have to cancel it before I can apply for this bonus right? The last time I have bonus from Chase Sapphire is 5 years ago.

Anyone received referral bonus since this 80k offer started? I referred my spouse for CSP and she was approved April 24. My own CSP statement date is 12th. Was expecting the ref bonus to show up yesterday - reports say it shows up on Tuesdays..
Anyone else have a similar timeline to share?
Chase said "We based our decision on the following reason(s): Obligations too high relative to income" but then "Here are the key factors that adversely affected your credit score: Satisfactory obligated revolving accts compared to all revolving accts"
On the declination letter it says that I have a credit score of 874.
Is there something that I did wrong? Should I apply again?
