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.

The Global Entry credit is separate from the Travel Credit, but you get $100 every 4 Years for the Global Entry Credit. This is because the Global Entry card is good for 5 years, but you can start the renewal process at 4 years.

Well, I was hoping to wait and spread this out but ended up applying for wife's card a few days ago. I didn't want to wait and see if the offer came back next year.

Finally gave in, for both wife and self. It's such a solid offer...
Was hung up on how to make the unplanned minimum spend then discovered we'd owe considerable balances to the IRS this year. At least this takes some of the edge off.

Not sure about this. You get the credit the day you make the travel purchase. You may want to call

Yes, if you are under 5/24, go ahead.
The 100k UR was an introductory offer. Seems the consensus says it won't be back.

Was denied for the card back in August (5/24), but since then fell to 1/24 and was instantly approved for $35k limit last week. Card came in a UPS envelope containing a white envelope, so nothing fancy. That brings me to over 100k in Chase CL's on three different cards.
Same situation here, I put >100k on the DL AMEX per year since it's my card with the highest limit and I've never had any issues with it being declined, fraud alert, etc. Looking to move some of that spend to CSR this year.

It's a single $100 every 4 years per account. My feeling is that a second account is better value, at least just now, than an additional card if you can take advantage of the travel credit and initial bonus.

Just got approved this morning. What's been the ETA on these guys showing up after being approved? I've got some work travel coming Thursday that would be nice to throw on this card.

Give them a day to process and create the card then it'll ship overnight. You'll definitely get it by Thursday but you may also get it on Thursday so you may or may not miss the shipment. Get the MyUPS app and once the label is created, you can see when it'll arrive.
