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 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.

Even if it was 24 months from application date, OP is way too early. CSR didn't launch until late August 2016.

Aside from the discussion about the earliest this could be done, why wouldn't someone who got the Sapphire Reserve bonus in the August to January time frame wait until January or February? Collect the $300 travel credit one more time, convert to Freedom or Freedom Unlimited (and get a partial refund on the annual fee), and then apply for a new Sapphire card. If one is confident that the new card would be approved, this seems to beat converting in this calendar year.

OK, my SO applied for the CSP on 12/10/16 and got approved in branch (was over 5/24) because only preapproved options were CSP, Slate and FU. After getting the signing bonus of 50K UR Points, decided to upgrade on 12/11/17 to CSR (one day after the card turned 1 year old), so Chase NEVER charged the $95 annual fee. Interesting thing is the $300 USD tracker for travel started immediately, but Chase did not charge the $450 annual fee either. Today, after logging in, there is a $450 annual fee being charged 6/1/18 and the $300 USD tracker says that it will reset on 1/19 after the card statement closes in that month.
So that means that with this card we can be double deeping, and if downgraded before 2/19 to a Freedom, it would also allow to apply again (26 months after being opened) and get another 50K signing bonus while being ahead $150 USD. Just amazed Chase took 6 months to charge the annual fee, specially when they said they were changing the $300 travel reimbursing to calendar year. By the way, SO is now seating at 2/24 and doing Business Cards from Amex.

Chase Sapphire is now a case study at the Harvard Business School. You can hear the professor who wrote the case discuss it here in this podcast. “How Chase Sapphire made credit cool for millenials.

Does Chase process apps on weekends?
I sent my wife a referral yesterday and she applied last night. Got the "up to 30 days" response. Called status line this AM and got the 10-14 days notice .
Does Chase process apps on weekends? I mean manually with "eyes" on the app. Just curious. I expect her to be approved and I'm looking forward to my 20K UR referral bonus.

According to DoC, Chase recon line is open on weekends, so if you're feeling impatient you can probably call tomorrow and have them push it through. Might just be verification or shifting CL around. Hours are 8am-8pm on weekends supposedly.

I'm just going off this: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/credi...phone-numbers/ Personally I generally don't apply for CCs on non-business days so I have no first hand knowledge.
(I wasn't calling into question the veracity of your statement. You are one of the more reliable posters in this forum.)
