For those who only want cash, not points:

$1000 cash back less:
- $95 annual fee
- $50-100 opportunity cost for spending $5000 on a card that only gives 1%cb when you could have gotten 2-3%cb.

Still over $800 tax-free profit. Not bad at all.

Considering it. I have one more application before I hit chase 5/24, then wait for a boosted amex gold or platinum bonus.

Any 0% apr period on this?

Will they treat a tax payment at pay1040 as a cash advance? Most credit card vendors treat it as a purchase.
The offer is supposed to be available online starting 04/03.
Not only is it in OP's message, it's also in the subject. Good grief.

Quote from jimmyeg6 :
I've read people were buying gift cards and/or over-paying on rent/utility bills.
I see.
Right now I'm paying directly from checking for utilities to save on fees. Same with mortgage. That would mean paying the CC fees but then again only do enough to meet the spend shortfall.
But I checked Amazon gift cards and I don't see any fees for paying for $1k in a gift card. If that's the case, it looks like Amazon gift cards are the way to go. Anyone see a problem with this?

After I get the points. When can I downgrade the card and do what card?

Freedom Flex is prob. your best downgrade after the 1 year goes by-- note however Chase requires you hold an annual-fee card of some kind to be able to transfer points to most travel partners (which is by far the best value for those points).

So you'd need to either have already transferred the points before downgrading, or have opened or planned to open, another paid chase card to use them for transfers in the future.

You could also potentially UPgrade to the Reserve, which if you travel a decent amount might be a better card on an ongoing basis- especially if you can use ALL the credits it's actually a money-maker... ($550 AF-- but you get a $300 travel credit, another $120/yr in Lyft credits, $300/yr in Doordash credits)... (even putting half value on the DD credits gets you slightly ahead of the AF)



Quote from tayninh :
So if I signed up in October 2020, got the bonus in Feb 2021, closed/downgraded out account in October 2021, I still qualify?

Correct- the open/close dates aren't really relevant- only the "received your last sapphire SUB" date- so you passed 48 months in March of 2025 on that and are thus eligible for another.

Quote from PotOdds :
Does anyone know when this offer will expire? I'm trying to time taking the offer with my car insurance which is a decent size spend but it's 4 months from now.

On that note, what are popular ways to spend $5k? I'm pretty frugal so based on my last 3 months, it might tough to make $5k. And that would require shifting all my other CC spends to this new card.

Give it to my wife, she'll blow thru 5k in a month.

Quote from Peterpan76 :
I am planning on paying my Federal/State taxes with the credit card. Can somebody confirm this will count towards the $5K spending.

I believe IRS uses https://www.pay1040.com/ OR https://www.officialpayments.com/index.jsp

I believe it does. From the terms page: Purchases do not include balance transfers, cash advances, travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or similar cash-like transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, and fees of any kind, including an annual fee, if applicable.

Two birds with one stone. Find a checking and savings accounts to sign up for and get a welcome bonus. A lot of them allow $500 to $2000 to be deposited from your credit card.. Just make sure it counts as a purchase.

Quote from michmike :
I agree if you consider that 1 chase point = 1 cent. that's true or close to true if you do redemptions in cash. however, if you do redemptions by transfering points to airlines for award travel, you may get 1.5 cents per point or even higher.
Yes but it's safer to consider worst case scenario

You won't be eligible to get the SUB
What are you basing this statement one? As long he doesn't currently hold a Sapphire Card and he's more than 48 months out he's eligible

Thanks for the suggestion but it looks like for the bigger more well known banks, you can't fund with credit card. Best Bank Account Bonuses For April, 2025 - Doctor Of Credit [doctorofcredit.com]

Odd that I applied and was denied am not in violation of the 5/24 rule, have an outstanding credit score, and am fairly certain (but not 100%) it's been more than 48 months since receiving the bonus. I did sign into my Chase personal account to apply. Anyone else have issues getting approved?
Were you denied immediately? Or, given the 7 day notice?
