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.

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.

They seems about the same to me. CSP, CSR, and MP Club all weight about the same. Closing my eyes I can't tell them apart at all.

I called the Sapphire Preferred telephone number and they confirmed that March 11th is the last day for the bonus in branch.

Note that 3.11.2017 is a Saturday. In areas where branches are closed on Saturday the offer would effectively end on the 10th.

Hey guys,
So I applied for the card earlier today and got the 7-10 day notification. I am currently at 5/24 with the 5th card to drop off on 1/26/17 and my 4th to drop on 2/4/17. I have read that some DP's are suggesting that the 5th should drop on the month... which could possibly mean that I am at 4/24 by Chase standards.
I know I have 30 days to recon, so my question is... would you guys wait until after 2/4, so that I am at 3/24 or would you guys call in now and explain them my situation. I'm afraid if I call in now and they say no, that my chances to recon again after 1/26 or 2/4 would be slim since I was already rejected for the card.
Thank for any input guys!

Should I cancel my Business Ink and Sapphire Preferred after getting this card, in order to reset those counters? This is way too good of a deal!

Not instantly approved
I did not get approved instantly. I got a response will be send in 7-10 days.
If I do get approved after tomorrow or if don't get approved and I call recon line will I loose the 100k offer?

Just applied this morning and got the pending approval, 7-10 day response. I'm definitely under the 5/24 rule, just spoke to someone at Chase card services and he was unable to provide me with any more detail. Kind of odd, since the last 2 Chase cards I've applied for, I got the same pending approval, which I immediately called and had to shift credit around between my cards. I only have 2 Chase cards now, as I canceled my Sapphire back in August.
Should I call reconsideration phone number instead of card services? Or just wait it out?

Applied and got instant approval today.
Will make a nice dent in the min spend watching the World Champion Cubs prepare for a repeat at Spring Training 2017.

Applied online, went to pending (7-10 day response).
I am at 5/24 (not falling off for another few months).
What do you think happens, bonus-wise, if I get approved on or after the 12th?
[Or is this why posters above are being advised to skip waiting & call recon?]
===============
Update - decided not to bother with any waiting, just rip off the bandaid, even if it hurt things. Called in to ask if they needed any more info, they said I had too many apps in the last 2 years and was already in rejected status.

I called the recon line after two days, but they just told me it was being reviewed by a senior credit advisor and to wait. The same thing happened after our Sap Preferred card, but they were eventually approved. So for us (wife and I), calling in both times did not result in immediate approval.
