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.

Don't feel bad I got denied today and I only had 3 pulls in the last 24 months. They said I had to many old cards open with other Banks. I have 2 with Chase soon to be 1, cutting back little used cards lol.

I did a fast check and came up with 26. Including 2 Sears cards. The oldest card I have is 19 yrs with a average of 6 years.
I called in after the pending because we're going to take a 2/16 vacation and I wanted to charge the $4500 bill to this card. I had guessed it was a CL thing because my Freedom card has a 30K limit, IHG has a 10,800 limit. I was just going to move some and I was also going to ask them to expedite the card so I could get the vacation ordered. Now I'll use my Premier card for the trip protection.
The funny part is my wife received an invitation in the mail a couple of hrs later. But She's not going to try because we realize she's got most of the same cards I do. No use for both of us wasting a hard pull.

Ugh. I also have run against the hard limit Chase has for new accounts in the past 24 months. No Sapphire Preferred 50K bonus for me, despite an 805 FICO.

50K
FYI, thepointsguy.com has an offer 50k after $4k in spending, but I can't find this offer anywhere else. I prefer not to click through these links and give them a referral because I don't like the way these types of blogs push cards for their own benefit rather than on the merits of each card. However, I haven't been able to find this offer anywhere else, even through Chase.

JK, there are links available all over now, but I can't seem to get it straight from Chase as of yet.

Either way I got this card in early August, hoping they'll match the extra 10k points for me...will post when I get a reply.

Chase - CSP - New 50K Bonus (call if you just got the 40K)
I signed up for the CSP back in September and hit my spend goal this month for the 40K bonus. Today they upgraded the bonus to 50K points. I called and asked about the new bonus and was told they would credit my account with the additional 10K points, but it will take 7 to 10 days. The agent was ready and prepared so I assume Chase was expecting this round of calls.
Love my new CSP!

Hi Folks,
This is my first post on this wonderful forum. I have been reading as much as I can for last few days.
I applied and got approved for Chase Sapphire & Chase Freedom last Friday!
I have not received the cards yet but I could login onto Chase account and see those cards available (I have a chase bank account)
Here is my question. I didn't knew about the 50K for Sapphire & 15K for Freedom offers (That were posted today). Is there anyway I can call them and ask them to bump up my miles on those cards? or Did I miss the bus by few days?
Thanks in Advance :-)

If my wife is an AU on my CSP but I recently got denied an Ink Plus 2 weeks ago, will it hurt her chances of getting her own CSP since it hasn't been 90 days since my Ink Plus application?
