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.

Hey,
Have anyone been able to get that 60+5 bonus from CSP? I got the 100k for ink pref by talking to my relation manager at Chase so thinking about calling him about this CSP offer as well...
And on a different note... if I get the CSP now - I cannot apply for CSR later and get the bonus for that card?

You cannot get both the CSP and CSR bonuses within a 24 month period now. See: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chas...hire-card.html

Approved for CSP in Jan 2012 and can't remember whether or not my approval was instant. Planning to apply for another one next month.
Are those of you who got approved recently getting it instantly approved?

HI all - CSP opened in October 2017 - just realized I never added my wife as AU for the extra 5k UR.
Question 1: if I add her now via website, and she makes a purchase, will the 5k UR just "appear" or do I have to do something different (or, was that a one time chance only.. like you only get that 5k for the AU at account opening)?
Question 2: assume I add her as an AU, can she apply for a CSP herself later without cancelling the AU, or do I have to cancel AU first then she applies? (Also, I assume being an AU doesn't "mess" with her ability to get new account bonus?)
TIA!

1- Just add her and the bonus should appear on the next statement. She doesn't need to use the card.
2- She'll still be eligible for her own CSP and bonus

FYI - saw some bloggers showing the new account bonus is now available at 60k/4k/3mo but $95 fee not waived year one. 5k AU bonus still there.
So... is 10k worth $95? Likely yes.

Date Chase Sapphire Preferred Switched to 60K Points And Annual Fee 1st Year
Hi everyone,
Could someone tell me the date that Chase Sapphire Preferred switched to 60K points and annual fee 1st year?
I believe this new deal was rolled out for ony about a week or so from today.
I applied for card toward the end of Febuary 2018. Pretty sure the deal was 50K points and no annual fee first year.
Chase has just told me my account is on their current deal of 60K and annual fee first year now.

That works. Waiting a full week is probably a bit of overkill, but this usually isn't a time sensitive exercise. You need to call to product change now. Chase seems to have stopped doing this via Secure Message.

I actually applied on the morning of Feb. 27th. I think I saw the old offer when applying but it is possible it was changed and I missed it.
