Moderator caution: Referral offers -or- links are NOT permitted in any thread in the Chase forum. Instead, see: Credit card referral offers (post only in this thread, read Wikipost first Please do not post ANY application links in the Wikipost or thread, even if you think they are not referral links. If you think there is an extraordinary circumstance where the link is difficult to find elsewhere, consult with a moderator before posting.
What is the best current offer?
What is the best current offer?
A. Beginning April 14, 2022, the public offer has been increased to 80,000 Bonus Points After You Spend $4,000 On Purchases In The First 3 Months From Account Opening. Annual fee [$95] is not waived. This offer is now publicly available. Based on some datapoints, it may be possible to get this offer at your local Chase branch with a one year waiver of the annual fee.
For any CSP offer, be sure to check the pricing details before applying. Normally, the annual fee for the CSP for year 2 and later is $95; however, in mid-2014 and then again more recently, Chase began randomly changing the pricing for some visits to the pages above, with AF as high as $150. If you get a page with that higher pricing, try reloading the page.

Q. Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously?
A. This card is subject to the Chase 5/24 policy. For details, see the wiki and related discussion in Applying for Chase Credit Cards, 2017 onward.
As of August 2018, all Chase Sapphire cards are subject to an additional restriction:
The product is not available to either (i) current cardmembers of any Sapphire credit card, or (ii) previous cardmembers of any Sapphire credit card who received a new cardmember bonus within the last 48 months.
Q. I'm an authorized user for a card issued to my spouse/parent. Does that prevent me from signing up for the same card and earning a bonus?
A. No, being an authorized user does not prevent you from obtaining your own card / bonus.
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. What's the value of a UR point? What are the best redemption options?
A. Because these questions are not specific to the Sapphire Preferred card, see discussion in the following separate threads:
Q. What are the benefits of this card other than UR points?
Benefits Guide https://www.chasebenefits.com/sapphirepreferred
A. See the discussion in Chase Sapphire Preferred Benefits Thread, especially the source documents referenced in the wiki.

If the SUB ends abruptly, but you have a referral link for the 100k offer, does it matter? Still receive the 100k with MSP?
I am trying to push using P2's referral as late as possible so the $8k spend is spread out as much as possible. Really hoping it doesn't end out of the blue. Regardless will probably downgrade my CSR soon just in case I need to act quickly.

Does anyone have a targeted email that asks to apply in August? I only know of emails that ask to apply by today, July 31.

I called in now to downgrade -- both the frontline representative and the retention representative confirmed that the date of eligibility is measured from when the points are earned (in this case, when the statement posts) so from your info above, you should be eligible as soon as you downgrade + 4 days for it to reflect in the system.

This is actually quite important for those of us planning to cancel and re-apply. I can't remember how long it took me to have my 100K points awarded when I got my CSR. Maybe 3 months? Is there a long-term record somewhere on the website? I can't imagine they'd keep those that long.

If the account is still open you can find this information by looking at your PDF statements on chase.com. If the account is closed you can estimate when you received the bonus by looking at your bank records.

Thanks. It turns out I actually see the bonus awarded on the 4/2017 statement. So Feb. 2022 will be well beyond the requisite 48 months.

How do I get the $50 grocery statement credit? Do I just charge $50 or more in grocery items to my card?

Is the 4 day wait to apply for the CSP after a CSR downgrade 4 total days or 4 business days? Finally downgraded earlier today.

DP: Chase branch today told me, "Currently no referral bonuses for any Sapphire product." Not sure how accurate that is.
