It was a continuation of THIS discussion.
Use this thread to discuss the Sapphire Reserve card offer. There are separate threads to discuss:
$300 Travel Credit
Priority Pass
Concierge Service
Travel Insurance
Global Entry/TSA PreCheck reimbursement.
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.
Landing page with bonus offer (50,000 UR after spending $4,000 in 90 days):
https://creditcards.chase.com/credit...04&IS2F=Y71UH0
Application page: https://applynow.chase.com/FlexAppWe...304&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. (verified in Post #2635 ; also verified by Chase)

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 cardsuch as the card will take 1-2 weeks or that expedited shipping is not availablethe 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.

I was pre approved in branch last week and received the card today. I made my first restaurant purchase too tonight. One thing I will likely not be able to take advantage of is the Priority Pass lounge access.

UPDATE: Wife got 7-10 day pending notice when applying Saturday night. She spaced out calling recon on Sunday and then yesterday night (Monday) she got a UPS message that said a package was on its way with 2 day mail. We looked online and the Reserve had been added to her account!!
FYI she was 4/24 with a recently closed Sapphire due to inactivity (she didn't use it for a year, after downgrading it from a Preferred.) She had one other Chase card open at the time and we did not request a CL reduction. We figured her Chase CL was already reduced when the Sapphire closed.

Do the reimbursed travel expenses and global entry fees count toward minimum spend?

No, you won't lose the points. You applied for a specific offer. If approved you'll get that offer.

I had my wife apply a few days ago before the threatened end of the online promo. Instant approval. It's not ideal having the card and benefits in her name since I travel more, but I'm at 14/24 so didn't bother applying.

Well the prospect of the bonus ending online, and knowing I'd unlikely get her to a branch, I got my mom to finally apply. Auto approval, which wasn't surprising as she's well under 5/24 and has a Chase history.

I'm 6/24 with 2 of the 6 as AU. Applied last night and called recon this morning. Despite my usual schmoozing, the guy was unable to help. I suggested that 2 of the 6 cards were authorized user accounts and he basically said the system saw what it saw and he couldn't do anything.

Call back until you get someone willing to help, I had one rep tell me know, hung up, immediately called back to a different person and they resubmitted my wife's application without counting AU's on her account. Every person in this game is different, some are nicer than others, if that doesn't work, ask for a supervisor. It can be done, they are just told to say no.

Just applied and got the 7-10 message. Called them, 1-888-270-2127 and moved some credit from my Hyatt card and I was approved. Took 10 minutes.
