Quick Question Regarding Chase Sapphire Preferred
 

This isn't for the business one since I am not a business owner or anything like that.

Is the 40,000 bonus points sign up (if you spend $3,000 in 3 months) with the annual fee waived for the first year, a typical offer? Not sure if I should wait for a better offer (if some come along), or apply for this one. Not in a hurry.

Thanks

My husband got it for a 50k offer last February.. I got one this Sept for the 40k

40K is the best generally available offer now. There might be occasional better targeted offers, but I don't think too many. The offer was 50K early last year, then went down to 40K.

Got it. Thanks :)

There have been reports here on FT that if one applies for the CSP card inside a Chase branch, then the spend requirement is only $2,000, but the bonus is still only 40,000 points.

Correct, in addition to it being $2,000 spend requirement, you also have more days, on the spend requirement. I think the customer service rep said there's 105 days.

In addition to all that, if you hit certain requirements with Chase you are eligible for 70,000 bonus. I confirmed with 3 people from Chase. 2 bankers and the customer service rep that activated my card. Everyone seems to not know the details except it "just shows up." From what I understand, the customer needs to be a high net worth individual and most likely a "Chase Private Client" customer...

I went into a branch and the bonus wasn't the same. Is it YMMV?

What was your bonus amount? Should have been at least 40,000 UR points...
