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.

To those who pay their Chase credit card with another bank how have you set it up? Through your paying banking or by linking your paying bank's account with Chase? Was looking to do it with Bank of America, but not sure what method causes the least headache.
In-branch offer adds a second bonus, 10k more UR for 2k more spend in the first 6 months.
Oh! Thank you! So it is possible to use this card for 360 days, max the UR points, transfer them to my typical chase UR points card (reserve) , then cancel it before 2nd year starts and I gonna keep all my points legitimately, correct? Thanks.

The only issue with what you wrote it you can't open this card at all if you currently have a Sapphire Reserve.
Chase has a 1-sapphire-card-at-a-time rule (and has for several years now)
Also ignoring that bit- no need to try and do anything at day 360 specifically- Chase will refund your annual fee if you close within 30 days after it posts- or optionally you can downgrade to a free card in that same period and have the AF refunded.
ok sorry gents im a noob at this. but say I want to travel very soon in like 3-4 weeks, my flight will cost me $4000. Can I use my chase preferred card to pay for that flight then get $1000 in return for the return flight?

i dont get it though, it currently states my "Your 16,568 points are worth $ 165.68" if you translate that into 80,000 points, it doesnt translate into $1000. i only have the regular chase card so maybe the points are worth less compared to travel card?

I don't think you can apply it directly to the charge but you will have the points available to redeem for gift cards, transfer to other reward partners, or use points in the ultimate rewards portal.

thanks. And if I wanted to stop paying the $95 annual fee for the card I would have to downgrade it to the freedom flex correct? i already have the freedom unlimited card. Was also wondering if it was possible to get the $200 bonus offer later on while downgrading the chase sapphire preferred card for the flex card

and if you change product/cancel it gets prorated.
I used the chase secure message in the app and they gave me the 20K difference! Applied a month ago for the CSP.
I applied last week and was denied because I was 2 weeks short of 4 years 🙄. Will re-apply on Tuesday.
will it be another hard pull
Wait huh? Op said 80k for spending 4k in 3 months. Where does 10K more bonus come from?
Online offer is just the 80k.
In-branch offer adds a second bonus, 10k more UR for 2k more spend in the first 6 months.
