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.)

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.

The annual fee will show up on the 1st of the month. If you first statement does not cover the 1st of the month, it will show up on your next statement that covers the 1st of the month. So you will probably see it on Dec 1st.

Account documents in electronic format
I did send a secure message to Chase asking about the account documents in the welcome package in electronic format, with the following reply:
"Thank you for contacting us with your request for the
welcome kit documents to be sent in electronic format.
I regret that we do not have the account documents that
were sent to you in the electronic format nor is the
information available online."
They certainly have these documents in electronic format but rather not distribute them this way. Why would they do that?

What's With This Stupid Metal Card?
I have a Chase Sapphire Reserve - and they just sent me a metal card (not sure if it is solid metal) to replace my existing card.
Who would want this? Only practical effect I can see is that it is extra metal to set off various metal detectors - at airports or public buildings.
If they actually wanted to make the card more useful, they could have done something practical such as enabling the card for contactless payments.

It is a metal core surrounded by plastic. I have not had it set off any metal detectors, though I always have to empty my pockets completely before going through them which includes my wallet.
The good news is, you don't have to use it! Many people don't like them for various reasons so keep using your plastic one if you'd like. I love my metal cards =)

Not sure whether this is the best thread for this question, but perhaps those knowledgeable can help:
I tried cancelling my Authorized User for my CSR and despite the card being active only for two months, the agent said that there can be no refund or credit given. Accurate information? I thought there was at least the possibility of a prorated credit.
Thanks for your insights.

Where to best keep the earned UR points? CSP or CSR? Or, does it matter?

Plenty do. Never conflate "I don't want" and "no one wants". If you don't want it then request a plastic card.
Doesn't really matter where you keep them. You can transfer whenever you want.

However, there is some difference in redemption according to Chase as shown below. Just wanted to confirm that there is a difference in redemption from someone who actually redeemed using both cards. And if any way we can transfer UR points from CSP to CSR - my wife has the CSR and I have the CSP.
CSR terms says:
50% More in Travel Redemption
Get 50% more value when you redeem for travel through Chase Ultimate Rewards.* For example, 100,000 points are worth $1,500 toward travel.

25% more in travel redemption
Get 25% more value when you redeem for airfare, hotels, car rentals and cruises through Chase Ultimate Rewards.* For example, 50,000 points are worth $625 toward travel.

The point is that if it's to your advantage to get the higher redemption value from the CSR, you can transfer them there immediately. However, if you use them to transfer to partners instead of booking travel through Ultimate Rewards, it doesn't matter where they are. I keep them all on the CSR just because I like to have them all in one place.

When you use to redeem travel on UR site, it matters as pts from CSR account worth 1.5 per pt versus 1.25 from CSP.
If you are transferring it to partners, it does not matter as it is always 1:1.
In general transferring to partners get a much better value than 1.5. I routinely get 2 on Hyatt redemption for our travel needs as an example.
