Q. What are the best current offers?
Offer for 50K points for $3K spend over 3 months; AF waived first year, $125 thereafter. Extra 5K for adding additional cardholder.
Offer for 40K points for $3K spend over 3 months; AF waived first year, $95 thereafter. Extra 5K for adding additional cardholder.

Q. I just met the spend requirement. When will I receive my signup bonus points?
A. In most cases, your bonus will be credited after the close of the monthly billing cycle in which you meet the spend requirement. (Chase never posts signup bonuses mid-cycle.)
However, owing to a quirk in Chase's system, bonuses associated with charges incurred in the last ~7 days of a billing period may not post until the end of the following billing period. This is true even if the charges appear on your current statement and generate the standard number of points per dollar spent.
Thus, if you meet your bonus spend threshold late in your billing cycle, you may not receive the corresponding signup bonus until the following month. Calling Chase to complain will not change this, so be patient and enjoy your points when they finally appear.
Q. Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously?
A. See the wiki and related discussion in Applying for Chase Credit Cards [Consolidated]

I called my bank to see if they offered a better signup bonus and I was told that they offer 45K UR points. However, when I got there an hour later, I was told otherwise, but I did receive 40K with a lower spending requirement ($2,000 in 3 months).
Hmm maybe I will send a SM to see if they will honor the 45K.

Could someone please post information on the 45k offer? Thank you.

Should I get the Chase Sapphire Preferred now, or wait for a better offer?
Right now the offer is at 40,000. Should I wait any longer? Or is the 40000 bound to even go down further?

It is anyone's guess, but it has been at 40k for some time. I would guess it will remain there, and if it goes any higher, it will be for a very limited time kind of like the Chase Ink jump to 60k (from 50k) earlier this year.

I went to Chase branch today and saw on the bankers desk a desk protector that mentioned the $2k spend and 40k bonus but when I asked about that offer he said same as online and no benefit to signing up in branch. They didn't have any flyers/pamphlets etc with a special code or link so is this offer still valid (40k with $2k spend in 3 months) and if so are there any links/codes etc ?
Thanks

Hi,
Has there been no targeted promotions online or something?

If my mother-in-law's oldest line of credit is a regular Sapphire, can she still get a CSP? If that won't work, can Chase convert the Sapphire to a Freedom and still maintain the history of the card since it might be 20 years old? Thanks..

Yes, she should be able to PC it to a CSP.

Yes, she can apply with the CS still active and would be eligible for the CSP sign-up bonus. I would still recommend PCing the old CS card to a Freedom since the CSP will make the CS obsolete.
