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.

No referral needed. I did it couple of days ago. It records where you opened the cc card (at a branch or online).
Their system had glitch as I was not granted or denied the card. The service rep at the branch had to call the credit card line who said there will be additional documentation needed and I will receive the information via mail but could not say what documents are needed. I was told by the branch to come back once I receive the letter to fax the needed document. But the next day the new card showed up on my chase app. The rep said there must be a glitch in their review process. So be mindful of that.
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?
I am on the same boat. I was told by the branch rep that the points cannot be rolled over from existing card to the new card as they are completely two separate card. However, I see others discussing that points can be combined. So not sure why the rep did not know this....

What I meant is can referral be used in branch so the referer is getting the bonus?
Does this make sense? I have CSP for over 5 years with my wife as authorized user. I should refer my wife to get her own card to earn 15k referral while she gets her 80k points after purchases. Then I can downgrade my card to any of the freedom cards, wait 7 days, then open a new CSP to get my own 80k points?

Yes, that will work. Make sure that your card is downgraded in their system before you apply yours again

Also, once your wife has a card, she can refer you to get 15k.
Can the point earned from this card to be combined with my reserve card point in the same rewards pool? I do decide to cancel it when annual fee kicking in.

All cards that earn Chase UR can move points from one card to another
Beware it takes their computer like two weeks to understand a product change. I wasted an hour in branch to find out their computer doesn't realize I don't still have a Sapphire. Lame. Have to go back in a week to get the 10k in person bump.

You can't have two Sapphire card. That means you can't have CSP and CSR at the same time

Cannot believe English is not your first language
Edit: looks like my referral link is $100 for each friend who gets a participating Freedom card.

It was 80k if you spend 4k in the next few months (4 months I think) and additional 10k bonus if you spend additional 2k in 2 months
