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.

credit card companies are charging annual fee within in two months of opening an account. happend to me with capital one. does anyone know if chase is also doing it.
yes you pay annual fee upfront
and if you change product/cancel it gets prorated.
My wife is on my CSP card. Can I take her name out and have her apply for her own to get the bonus? We've had the card for more than 5 years.
Pretty sure she can apply even as an authorized user. Sometimes the system messes this up and you have to call their reconsideration line to fix it.
Also if you've had your card for 5 years then you should product change it to another card and then sign up for the preferred again to get the sign up bonus.
If you do both have one of you refer the other for 15k bonus points
Looking to apply for Chase Sapphire Reserve as it works better for me. Currently they only offer 60K Points for sign up. Any chance this goes up anytime soon?
How many years since canceling this card is it eligible for the bonus again?
0 years.
The important timing is how long since you last received a sapphire bonus- which must be 48 months or more before you qualify for a new one.

So, you folks get the bonus and downgrade it? To which card
Depends what cards you already have and how you spend, but generally some variant of the freedom card
Note you can't product change until you've had the card for 1 year.

Do you know if you can roll points over from the old card to the new card to cancel the first and avoid 2x the yearly fees?
If you downgrade to another card that also earns chase points (again any of the freedoms would do it) there's no need to roll anything- as long as you're going visa to visa your card # won't even change.
Note however if you will no longer hold any annual fee chase card at that point you lose the ability to transfer points to airline and hotel partners.

Would that person being referred still get the 80k if they use a referral link sent by someone else?
