But you're so nice here.
Did an agent tell you? Is there a way to verify it short of a phone call or Secure Message?

As you may know, I PC'd my CSR and recently applied for the CSP a day or before its 80k SUB expired. I did this despite knowing I was about 12 days shy of surpassing the 48-month waiting period. (Chase did deny it for that reason, as expected.) Why did I do this? To get my application on record so I could later call Recon and cajole them into approving my application at the higher bonus. I called today (three times) and I utterly failed in each attempt. I was really nice too. I hate being nice. 
Anyway, I learned something valuable. To wit, although my CSR 100k bonus appeared on my November 17, 2016 statement, Chase's records show I earned it on November 10, 2016. So, it appears statement date is not what counts after all. This info is moot now, of course, but it may benefit someone down the road if/when a cutoff date is close. YMMV.
RNE, crestfallen.

But then post #404 seems to indicate otherwise. It may be best if we can get more data points.

Thanks. It was worth a shot. Nothing lost. No pull. Just a little time. And, yes, I suspect Chase uses the date sufficient charges post as the SUB-earned date. It would be nice to have more data points on this though.

I'm a real sweetheart. 
Yes, I telephoned.
Do we know that Chase is honoring those errant links this far out? How do I get one of those 80k links? PM me if necessary.

Just applied for the CSP using a referral link that still had the 80k bonus offer (provided application was no later than 11/7). Was approved. And despite applying after 11/7, I looked at my CSP account online and saw this on the Rewards Activity page: "Ready to earn 80,000 bonus points?" Thus, I got the 80k offer. 
Thanks for your help, you-know-who.

I got sapphire reserve pts bonus awarded on December 10th statement 2016. I applied two days ago for sapphire preferred card amd got the “will notify you in 30 days message”. Did I messed up by applying too early?
if i did apply too early, can i reapply in a month to make sure i’m passed the 48th month by another month or two and still get approved?
