Question for all the experts. I had a CSP in 11/2015, and got the bonus in 12/2015. I downgraded to the regular CS in 2016. I recently applied for the CSP, but was rejected since I had another CS product. But this is where the confusion starts. I dont want to close the account since I have a higher credit limit. I called the reconsideration line if I could convert the card to a Freedom card and wait a few months then re-apply. I was told I could get it but I wouldn't get the welcome bonus. From my understanding I could get the welcome bonus as long as it has been 24 months from last bonus and didn't have another sapphire product. Has anyone else had this situation? I wasn't sure if Chase introduced a lifetime restriction ala Amex, or the rep was just misinformed. Thanks.
