Warning: Generating a referral to some cards may not give the best bonus to the recipient. Check the current offer and then see what the referral offer is. One example is Marriott.
Earn Up To 75,000 Bonus Points: You can receive 15,000 bonus points for each friend you refer through this Refer-A-Friend offer (up to 5), who is approved for the card. Maximum bonus points accumulation for this offer is 75,000 bonus points. We may provide you with future opportunities to earn bonus points by referring your friends to Chase Sapphire Preferred. You may earn bonus points up to the stated maximum for each offer, however, please note that if you take advantage of multiple opportunities within one calendar year that the maximum number of bonus points that can be awarded from all referral offers is 75,000 per calendar year. In the event the bonus points you earn from all referral offers exceeds the 75,000 per calendar year limit, you may be awarded a partial amount to keep your total bonus at 75,000 bonus points. For example if you have already accumulated 70,000 bonus point from refer-a-friend offers that calendar year and the maximum is 75,000 bonus point per calendar year, then the next award will be 5,000 even if the offer states 15,000. The value of this offer or program may result in miscellaneous income received from Chase and we may be required to send you, and file with the IRS, a Form 1099-MISC (Miscellaneous Income) or Form 1042-S (Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding) for the year in which you participate and are awarded the benefits of the offer/program. You are responsible for any tax liability related to participating in the offer/program. Please consult your personal tax advisor if you have any questions about how this could affect your taxes. This offer is subject to change and may be cancelled at any time without notice. To be eligible for this bonus offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. Please allow up to 8 weeks after each new cardmember’s approval for bonus points to post to your account. Your bonus will appear on your statement as “Refer-A-Friend bonus.” You are not eligible for a referral bonus if you use your own referral URL to apply for a different card.

Referral Points Posting
How long did you all have to wait until the referral points posted?
My friend that applied said she got approved 8 weeks ago, probably been 7 weeks since first purchase or so.
Thanks for any info.

Question:
Would anyone here file a CFPB complaint if Chase has repeatedly failed and refused to pay out (4) CSP referrals?
I have now literally waited 5+ months ... and their response is always a big fat no ... no matter how much time I give them.
Every time I reach out to them, at the end they always end up blaming me for "not referring correctly, if no referrals have posted" - which is nonsense - as I take full ownership in making sure my referrals apply properly using my link.

I am in the same boat as you guys. I referred two of my friends using my facebook links as the email referral is slow or not working. I sent a secure message to rewards inquiry and was told there was a delay in posting the points and that I would be receiving the points in 1-2 billing cycles.
Here is there response:
We are pleased to know that our service meets your
expectations and you have recommended Chase Sapphire
Preferred to your friends. I reviewed your account and see
that there has been a delay in posting of your bonus
points. I would like to assure you that the bonus will
post to your account in 1 to 2 billing cycles. We
appreciate your patience in this matter.
If you need any other assistance, you can send us a secure
message. We appreciate your business and thank you for
choosing Chase.

Just wanted to offer a positive outcome. I had two referrals for CSP apply around March 24. After 1 billing statement, I sent SM and asked when bonuses would post and was told 6-8 weeks or 2 billing statements. 20k bonus points posted on my statement of May 26.
Also referred Freedom earlier in spring and those bonus points posted in 2nd billing statement also.

I have a referral bonus listed in my graph that shows how i earned my points, but it isn't posted.
I should have 3 freedom referrals and 1 CSP referrals, but it seems like only one has been posted so far. Will update once all of them go through, possibly in a billing cycle or two

Has anyone had any success with using a refer-a-friend link for an old card? I had a CSP for two years that I closed in April in order to get the sign-up bonus again. The refer-a-friend page still works for the closed card. I have no luck entering the information for my new card. I have a family member who really wants the 50k offer and I'd like to refer them... but I have a feeling I'm going to be out of luck. I've read sporadic accounts of people having success using their old link. Is there any truth to this?
Any idea when I can expect the new card to possibly be eligible? The Chase rep I spoke to was basically useless.

If your old card is closed then the referral pts will have no where to go if you use your old link

Referred a friend on Ink in mid March. He had a deferred approval I did not know when.
3 billing cycles just passed 4/17, 5/17 and 6/17. He got the 60K on 6/17 billing cycle. I am still waiting for the 10K referral bonus.
For those who sent SM to Chase, what info you need to submit to Chase to prove you have had a referral?

I think a class action lawsuit is in order. This system is highly flawed. I have referred at least a dozen people over the years and have received exactly 1 bonus. It is time consuming to explain the benefits of these cards, get the person on board, get the email, and go through the trouble of giving referrals/following up on the delayed or missing referral emails, etc. The person is so excited to get a new card and start with miles and points, and you wait wait wait for the referral to show up at some random point in time, or never.
