This card is under 5/24. You can override 5/24 by having an in-branch (only! online prequalification does NOT override 5/24) pre-approval, or by already being Chase Private Client (as in you see the "Chase Private Client" text on the login screen of the Chase mobile app.)
Landing page with bonus offer (100,000 UR after spending $4,000 in 90 days) is now live:
https://creditcards.chase.com/credit...04&IS2F=Y71UH0
Application page: https://applynow.chase.com/FlexAppWe...L3P&PROMO=DF01
100,000 UR points is worth $1,000 as statement credit, $1,500 when used for travel through the Chase portal, or potentially more if transferred to a partner.
Card features are here:https://www.chase.com/card-benefits/...reserve/travel. The card's Priority Pass includes unlimited guests.

The purchases made that you receive the $300 travel credit (or $85/$100 trusted traveler program credits) for do count towards the minimum spend, but the annual fee does not.
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.)

That's a great idea. I'm already past 5/24 and don't want to waste a hard inquiry if the rule is being enforced, especially with the issue of this card possibly charging for guests to use Priority Pass lounges. This is the deal breaker for me because I can just keep my Prestige and CSP cards if CSR charges for guests. On the other hand, if 5/24 is not being enforced I can apply to get the bonus and cancel after the first year.

If you're going to apply when it launches I would leave the limits. You can always move them in recon if total credit is an issue. It takes a while for a reduction in limits to register. I made the mistake of reducing an $18k limit Chase gave me then trying for another card. I got the card, but with a $2k limit.

I've never thought about doing this. When you voluntarily lower CL on a card, you're suggesting that you keep that CL "bank"?

I got a Chase United Explorer card a month ago.
I asked to lower the credit limit ahead of time and they wouldn't do it.
They finally approved it for me but I had to call in because of a credit freeze and while I was on the line with them, I agreed to move credit around from my other cards.

Apologies if this question has already been answered in this thread. If one currently has a Sapphire Preferred, could you simply "upgrade" to a Sapphire Reserve and still qualify for the 100k bonus? Or would I need to apply for the reserve, and then cancel the preferred separately?

Interesting, thank you. I have like $70K credit over three cards, I am going to have to roll that back and strengthen my CC game.

I just paid my AF on my CSP.
But I'm leery about canceling it because I have a ton of UR points that I haven't transferred yet.
And I'm not sure I want to transfer to one program now.
There are no guarantees that I'd get approved for the CSR, pretty sure I'm on 5/24 and I just got a new Chase Explorer at the end of June.

Well eventually I'm going to need to transfer them.
What if I have to wait a year until I'm under 5/24 to get a premium card?

You can probably forgo a signup bonus and upgrade your card back to a premium one, if you really need to transfer. I'd personally wait to see if you're approved for the CSR, if you're going to try it.

I'd try for the CSR first, and if approved downgrade other card accordingly
