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?

For those of you who were auto-approved on CSP, how long till your card arrived? I'm preapproved and have less than 5/24, so I'm hopeful that I won't have to wait it out. But I'm headed out for the holidays on Dec 20-31, so not sure if I should wait or not. Mail will be on hold at PO, FWIW.

EDIT: For the people who applied and were disappointed to get a "wait 30 days" message or whatever, just call the recon line right away. You might find that, like me, the problem wasn't to do with you, but just because they wanted verification. Annoyingly they don't tell you this when you apply - I only found out when I called recon for my "wait 30 days" CSP app.

Hi everyone,
I signed up for a CSP card last week, but haven't heard a word except for an email saying "We'll let you know a decision within 30 days via mail". Should I call and follow up, or just wait it out? I have no idea why I'd be denied - stellar credit, no issues. I do have two other Chase cards open but they aren't that new - one was open in 2013, the other in 2011. I do technically have a couple of older cards as well (6+ years old) but they haven't been used in ages, been meaning to close them out but haven't had time. Not sure if that would trigger the 5/24 issue since they're so old.
Any suggestions? I was hoping to get the cards before the end of the year, I have a lot of travel coming up in Q1 2016 that would make it pretty easy to hit that spending minimum.

I would take the risk if you don't see any reason you'd be denied. It might be something minor holding up your app--like an address verification if you've moved recently.

Had my sister apply for this card and she got a similar response- we will let you know by mail in 30 days. Should I have her call recon or chase to check on the app or just wait?? This would be her first CC in a long time, excellent credit, no issues with the 5/24 rule either. Not sure why it wasn't an instant approval. Any advice??

Registered for CSP on Oct 5, when it was still 40k offer.
40k still pending to post on my next statement, but I went ahead and sent a message roughly 4 hours ago asking if it could be set to 50k as I had even gotten an email saying to refer friends who would get the 50k bonus, and the 10k pts were just posted about 30 minutes ago.

Thanks all! I just got notification that my application was approved, card is on its way Still not sure why I got the 30 day notice.
For others having issues, the "Applying for Chase Cards" thread has a lot of useful info: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase...5-present.html.

My wife just received an invitation in the mail today for a 60,000 bonus offer after $4,000 spend, for the CSP. It came with an invite code. I have never heard of the 60,000 point offer before.

Im blocked by the 5/24 online but went in branch, was told i was pre-approved.
I applied and received application pending, and when calling recon I was told it was going through "back-end verification".
Is this probably a declined in anyone's experiences?
Thanks

I've never heard of 60k for the CSP either, though there is a current offer for Chase Ink at 60k.
