The card is made of the same material as the CSP, and is being shipped UPS Next Day Air Saver to everyone after production (currently (8/26) appears to have about a 3-day delay after approval before shipping. Expedited shipping is no longer being approved). Some are getting plastic cards with no box. Chase advises metal cards will follow later in these cases.
How to determine your account number, expiration date, and shipping date before receiving the card:
1. Send a secure message (SM) from the account. A common SM would be to ask about the sign-up bonus and last day to complete the spend requirement (which appears to be approximately 3.5 months from the date of approval).
2. Check the Sent Messages folder, and the full account number will be listed in the header of the message that you just sent. The number starts with 414720....
3. The expiration date is three years from the month of approval. So, if you were approved on August 31, 2016, your expiration date will be August 2019.
4. CVV2 number is not available, so if a merchant requires it for payment, you must wait for the physical card.
5. According to many reports, the card is not activated until it is shipped, which happens to be UPS Next Day Air Saver (if shipped on Friday, you will not receive the card until Monday or the next business day). To find out when it is shipped, go to My UPS and sign up for a free account. You'll be notified when a shipment is destined to your address.
Priority Pass Select
Click HERE to read the separate thread discussing this benefit.
As soon as the account shows up online:
1. Click on Go To Ultimate Rewards.
2. Scroll down to the very bottom left and click on "Card Benefits"
3. Activate Membership to request card.
4. Card will take 1-2 weeks and can't be expedited, but members have reported success in charging the lounge access to the card and requesting a refund from Customer Service.
5. PP cards will be issued for the account holder and any AU(s)
6. According to Chase, CSR's PP membership includes guest access.
Duplicate Card
1. If you receive the plastic card, wait for the metal card to arrive automatically.
2. If you receive the metal card, send SM or call to request plastic card (for use with overseas merchants that require a card imprint, because you hate metal cards, whatever).
3. DO NOT request a replacement card (especially under any pretense that the card was lost or misplaced).
4. Both cards will have the same number, expiration and CVV. Both cards will work.
5. It appears that all CSR cards are sent overnight once produced, including the plastic 'replacement' cards. No need to request expedited shipping.
How to get bonus points on the first statement:
Act very quickly; you may have less than a week. It depends on the timing of your first statement and when you receive the card. 4K in spending has to clear (not pending) about a week before the statement cuts in order to get the bonus points on that statement. Under "account details" you can see your first payment due date. Your closing date is usually three calendar days after your due date. For instance, if your very first bill is due October 20 that statement would close on September 23, and spending would have to clear by approximately September 16 in order to get the bonus points.

SHIP ME MY CARD CHASE 
I want to start using it. A hotel I have had my eye on for vacation over Thanksgiving has re-opened its Hilton world sale rates. C'mon Chase. You know you want me to charge 600 EUR to my new card. Better you than my Citi Premier.

But what "You’re covered up to $50" mean? Doesn't it mean they cover up to 50$? So if the roadside assistance costs 300$, I still pay 250, no?

No rush as I was going to hit the 4K in spending in early October anyway when my car insurance renews.

Data Point: FICO 750+, salary $150k+, no chase bank account, 6/24 (3 Chase cards as primary, 1 Chase AU, 2 other credit cards).
On Monday, I called Chase to delete me as AU from my wife's Chase FU (so now down to 5/24) then applied online on Monday for CSR. Message saying 7-10 days review. Tuesday, I called reconsideration number (888-270-2127) asking about the status. It was declined due to 5/24. I told him that I took myself off as AU so please check again (even though I was still over haha), he came back, asked questions about salary, and then said if I moved credit from other Chase cards, I might be approved now; if I wanted additional credit, my app would have to go for another round of review. I decided to move $10k (out of $30k) from CSP to CSR and got approved immediately. It has already showed up in my online acct. No expedited shipping.

As someone who upgraded the CSP to a CSR on Monday and has received no apparent notification of a UPS delivery nor anything delivered today, I'm still relatively convinced it's coming by USPS given I was told 3-5 days. No big deal, but I'll believe the whole "they're all going out via UPS" when I see it.
Having done the conversion though, I'm still debating whether it was worth it to do so as someone who primarily uses Delta at the moment. I have an Amex Platinum as well so there is a lot of overlap in terms of benefits. The fact that the $300 travel credit is so easy to utilize is the one thing that makes the CSR seem more reasonable since I'd take advantage of the 3x dining category fairly often. Assuming you can take advantage of it more than a couple times a year (and utilize the more strict travel credit), I'm wondering if the $100 credit via the Ritz is a better value proposition even if the points obviously aren't as versatile as UR points.

That's pretty much it. Or, realize that you're only over 5/24 due to a non-Visa/MC store card (or being an authorized user) and keep HUCA until you find a rep that will remove those from consideration.

I just got approved online instantly...28K.... so now that the clock has starting ticking for the $4K spend as I wait for my card, I guess that to be safe I should spend over $4,300.....as if $300 constitutes travel and gets credited back to me it wont count toward spend? Am I correct in this thinking?
