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.)

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.)

This sounded like a great benefit to me at first, but both benefits are "supplemental to and excess of any valid and collectible insurance or other reimbursement". The medical coverage "covers only the medical expenses that are not covered by your medical insurance".
More concerning are these conditions on the medical evacuation coverage: "The evacuation must be pre-approved by the Benefit Administrator in consultation with a legally licensed Physician..." and "The Benefit Administrator must make the actual medical transportation arrangements."
Suppose I'm backpacking and suffer an injury such that I need to be airlifted to a hospital, and the governing body of that particular area charges for such services. It may be imperative that action be taken as soon as possible rather than taking the time to contact the Benefit Administrator, if such contact is even possible!
But perhaps these are normal conditions for similar insurance coverage; I have not paid much attention to such policies.

As for the medical evacuation coverage, these terms are actually pretty good. All of these types of policies require the Benefit Adminstrator to approve. I've seen some policies that require "life threatening" illness or injury. Tough standard to meet. Others say it only has to be medically advisable to move you in the opinion of a doctor. That's a much lower standard. The other issue is usually the exclusion of pre-existing illness. Again, this is a very favorable clause. I've seen as long as 18 months and without an exception for diseases that are controlled with medication.
The real point of this coverage is to get you transported to a facility with first world medical care. It might or it might not be in the US. If you've just had a heart attack, you probably don't want to be treated in a clinic in the middle of nowhere if you can avoid it.

There is a reason you were not able to read the 1,000 posts. People keep asking the same thing over and over and over.
And, people can not get it through their head that charges have to be posted as TRAVEL.
As to the 100k bonus.. it sure does appear to be valid - you can easily read what they are offering when they actually offer it. Geez.
And, that most of this stuff can not be answered, because it has not been released yet. Yea, you can read what details are posted and then wait to see when it gets released.
And another thing.
THIS IS NOT THE CITI PRESTIGE THREAD. It does not matter one freakin cent what Citi does. This is a new card issued by Chase.

Do you have Chase marketing materials that supports your statement "it sure does appear to be valid.."? If so, cite it and provide a link...If not, what positive do you have to add?

Man, why does this theme persist? There is no need to worry or overspend. Pay the annual fee, spend the additional $4000, call Chase and they will tell you that you've met your spending requirement. Enough with this overspend to be safe nonsense. It's bad and incorrect advice.

Look at the terms of the Citi Prestige. It even mentions "Air fares". But I don't think you can use their $250 credit to offset airfare purchases.

Just take a look at the Arrival Plus thread for example where it can go both ways when you're thinking "travel".

Thanks. I thought that data points observed when using CSP to pay lounge fees would tell the story. I would think that the types of purchases that fall into the travel category for both cards are pretty much identical.

Same goes for the $4000 minimum spend; if you have any concern about hitting it, with or without the $300 reimbursement counting, this isn't the right card for you.
Separately, I'm going to walk into my Chase branch before work today and hopefully have a good datapoint to report.

It's 7:19 am CST and still no card online. Very frustrating.

Admittedly have checked to see if application was up but honestly seems silly being this caught up in signing up immediately for a card. In all honesty if I were Chase I'd probably flag everyone that signed up on the leaked link or in the first 24 hours of app being available as a possible churner etc and monitor cancellation rates etc. Just doesn't seem worth it, could easily wait a week, offer wont disappear in less than a week I'm sure.
Edit - Almost stated that obviously people with big spends upcoming would love to get this done ASAP which is understandable.
