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.

Advised to wait several weeks before adding AU on new SP card?
Just got a new card and I've been told that it's advisable to wait a few weeks before adding an authorized user to the account. Can anyone explain why or whether this matters? Would Chase flag the account for some reason if an AU were added as soon as the card was received? Doesn't really make any sense to me.

I never heard whether it makes a difference to add a authorized user a few weeks after an account is opened? I've added an AU when I first applied for the Freedom and added a AU after I received my CSP with no issues.

Thanks, I'll add the AU today.
Another question: does the AU share the full points balance and transferrable rewards as the primary holder?

For information on transfering UR to another person's UR account (or to his/her air/hotel/Amtrak account) and the potential risks involved, see the wiki for http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase...mes-rules.html, especially the last two FAQs.

Thanks beltway,
Say the AU spent considerable dollars, would he/she at least be able to call Chase to sort out UR points on the ammount spent if there were issues? The AU should have full telephone support and access to account features such as the UR Mall I would assume, considering the card is in their name as well.
I'll check the link out btw, thanks.

Chase Sapphire Card Bonus
Can't seem to find the Chase Sapphire Card wiki (maybe there isn't one)... Just curious, does the bonus ever exceed 10,000 UR?
Thanks in advanced

I heard there was a 50k+5k offer last November, but the annual fee was 125$. Was wondering if this offer would come out again this year.

We'll be maxing out 2 freedoms Q4, use CSP for dining, just got done with the 100K AA offer, have a 60K Citi Hilton on the way, and I like using my AMEX SPG for the rest. So right now, this card makes sense for my SO who needs some no-fee cards with low spends.

Has anyone had success in getting a second CSP after two years of first/previous application/approval?
