If those are all the benefits, this is a very weak card. With all Chase relationships one would have thought they could have come with something really unique and inventive.
That said, I'll get it for the bonus; downgrade the preferred to freedom unlimited, and downgrade this one to preferred next year before annual fee hits.
It would be a stretch to use the $600 travel credit (the $300 from the Ritz is already a stretch as it is), but for 100K UR points I'll do it.

Hopefully they keep the visa logo on the back of the card like they have on the sig version

Apparently, there was previously a 100K point offer for the Chase Sapphire "Preferred" Card as well. If someone remembers how long that promo was in effect perhaps we can get a general sense of how long the 100K offer for the "Reserve" card might be in effect.

The most recent super offer by chase that was coveted by the hobbyists was the 140k ritz. Did that last a only a quarter?

That was a public offer in late 2014 IIRC. Some folks who opened their cards in Q1 2015 were able to get matched to that offer. I don't recall the min spend. It was prob in the $3k ballpark.

I do agree with you which is why my ritz card never sees the light of day once it meets $10k/y spend to re-qualify me for gold status. But it would
Be nice if the card is 100% metal like the ritz and not a metal/plastic mix like the CSP and United club m, which tend to peel from edges after prolonged use.

I actually prefer credit cards not to be made from metal (and therefore be heavy). The Sapphire Preferred I have tends to slide out of its pocket when my wallet happens to be upside down. I always have to be careful opening it.

It also makes contactless impossible, but that might be a moot point since the US doesn't seem to want that feature.
