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?

I applied for this card and received instant approval on Sunday 11/8. The card still has r come yet. How long did it take to receive your card from time of approval, and via which carrier? Just regular USPS?

For Sapphire experts here, how often does Chase come up with a better signing bonus? I am thinking of dumping my old Business Ink Plus that I've had for years and originally used for the long-dead Office Supply $500 gift card 5x points churn from years back. I just cashed out my 79K UR points for the Apple shopping deal and the 25% bonus (equal to travel), and I was going to wait for a return of the 80K signup bonus or similar, and go for either the Sapphire or Sapphire Reserve to restock my points.

I only got 60k chase sapphire preferred bonus
My partner was going to apply and get the 80k but it went down to 60k again - I thought that deal would be active till end of the yr.
When can I expect it to come back again?

How long does Chase typically offer an enhanced SUB?
I see that Chase will start offerring 80K UR SUB for new Sapphire Preferred accounts on March 21 2021.
Does anyone recall how long such offers at Chase typically stay offered?
No, I do NOT mean the 90 days to satisfy the minimum spend to get the SUB.
