New Chase Sapphire Reserve Card [Pre-release speculation]
Chase Sapphire Reserve [Initial application frenzy]
This card is subject to Chase's 5/24 policy. For information on (and discussion of) the policy, see Applying for Chase Credit Cards, 2017 onward.
You can override 5/24 by having an in-branch pre-approval (only! online prequalification does NOT override 5/24), 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):

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.

The card is made of the same material as the CSP, and is being shipped UPS Next Day Air.
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 via 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 for your address.
6. Contrary to what the customer service rep may tell you about the delivery of the card—such as the card will take 1-2 weeks or that expedited shipping is not available—the card is actually expedited and shipped via express shipping, as mentioned in #5. There is no need to ask for expedited shipping.
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.

This was a few weeks ago when he got denied due to AU via recon line. Think it's too late to call recon again and try this?

I understand my credit score perfectly well and already use Credit Karma. Perhaps you need to understand my question. Including some AU accounts, my overall utilization is around 10%. Utilization or my credit score (mid-700s) is not what I'm worried about. I'm asking if Chase will see me as dangerous for some reason other than my credit score because of carrying a balance vs. paying off in full every month. In other words, do my approval odds for the CSR change if I pay off existing Chase accounts fully before applying?

First charge already on it - a doctor's bill that arrived while I was gone. Also reserved a hotel with it. Next up, 2x GE renewals and booking flights for XMas.

How do you apply for the card through CPC? Do I have to call in for this, or email? I made the mistake of applying online on chase.com, then trying to get them to push the approval through.

wife just got approved via call into recon to exclude AU cards, so thanks for all the pointers on the thread. She doesn't have an existing chase online account, is there any way we can create an online account before we receive the physical card? Reason I want to do it is, I either have to cancel or downgrade by Ink+ and want to transfer my UR points to her account before I make the call to discuss Ink+ options. Thanks!

I applied today and got the dreaded "pending review". A call to the status line stated that "I will get a decision by mail in 7-10 days". I called all 3 recon #'s (the first 2 didn't work or hung up automatically). After getting through to a CSR, who put me on hold for 5 minutes and then finally said that he would have to transfer as further verification is needed. After 2 questions, I was approved with a $30k limit. :0 For reference, I have 16 inquiries on my credit report with a 700 credit score (It was 807 until a bank of america annual fee, that was supposed to be refunded but wasn't, ended up biting me with a 120 day late payment note. Also I got a mortgage and my car payment ended, which apparently dings your score pretty good). All but 2 of the 16 inquiries were for mortgage inquiries (i.e: only 2 were for credit cards so the 5/24 rule didn't apply).

Has anyone obtained the TSA PreCheck or Global Entry credit on this card yet? If so, what was your experience? The travel credit posted immediately, but my TSA Pre Check billed almost two weeks ago and I have not seen a credit for this yet.
Appreciate any data points, could not find any on FT.

Just a regular sealed letter envelope (inside the much bigger UPS envelope) and it is the metal-card.

Are they now sending metal card replacements to those of us with plastic cards? I wonder if there is any point in calling and requesting it

I doubt they'll make a determination of "well, this guy had a plastic card so let's send him another plastic one".

If you simply request another card, it'll keep the same number
