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.)
As of August 2018, all Chase Sapphire cards are (with limited exceptions) subject to an additional restriction:
See Sapphire (CSR & CSP) 48 months between bonuses, August 2018 for details and ongoing discussion.

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
(** Note that this no longer seems to work checking on 5/18 - the account number in the secure message header is XXXXXX'd out except for last 4 digits)
(** Also I do not see any recent comments 5/18 on timely shipping or shipping method)
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 five years from the month of approval. So, if you were approved on August 31, 2016, your expiration date will be August 2021.
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.

Hello all. I would love some advice. I have a CSP and want to close it and get the CSR with sign up bonus. I know I cannot get the bonus if I "upgrade" from CSP to CSR. It has been more than 48mo since I got my sign up bonus from the CSP. My question is how long would I have to wait if I cancelled my CSP and signed up for the CSR.? I have 820+ CS. Also, if i close out my current CSP card completely, what happens to my UR points? would they stay there until i get the CSR card or should I transfer all of them to my husband's CSP card? I am not a churner so don't know a lot but would really appreciate advice! Similarly, if there are other cards I should be looking at, let me know! I have the AmEx Starwood but may cancel that too. I am not loyal to any specific airline(s) or hotel(s) so not sure branded cards are great for me?
This is much easier than it sounds and you get two sign-up bonuses.

Yes, your're right. The blogs I was reading were people cancelling, not downgrading. Thanks.

I did a double dip of CSR and CSP in June and met the CSP minimum spend in a month and got the 50k bonus.
I hit the CSR minimum spend a few days back and have not yet received the bonus. When I sent a secure message, they told me that since I received the bonus for CSP in June, I won't get it for CSR. I'm hoping this is not correct. my statement closes in a few days. Any recent datapoints?

So basically this is what JPM is talking about "power users" who don't make up the spend to justify the costs lol

My CSR anniversary report comes. It shows I earned about 20,000 UR, all $300 travel credit and $0 on TSA....
I think this is going to be the way it is going to be. I get full suite of the Freedom CCs and the UR points more than cover the AF. I also maximize my other CCs. This is used mostly on dining and hotel....

Add-on reserve card
I am an authorized user on a reserve card; can I somehow use that to get the 1.5 bonus while traveling or only the primary card holder can do that
Thx

The $0.015 travel redemption rate requires a Sapphire Reserve account. You have a Reserve card, but not a Reserve account. IF you are eligible to combine points from your UR account with the primary cardholder's account, that person could redeem a reward for you.
Eligibility requirements are listed in the Wikipost at the top of this thread:
