Use this thread to discuss the Sapphire Reserve card offer.
Application page with bonus offer (60,000 UR after spending $4,000 in 90 days):
https://creditcards.chase.com/rewards-credit-cards/sapphire/reserve?CELL=6TKX
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.
50,000 UR points is worth $500 as statement credit, $750 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.
Authorized User Card:
1. $75 each authorized card each year.
2. Same Priority Pass membership as the main card.
3. Same earning rate on spending. Same fringe benefits as the main card like purchase, car rental and travel insurance etc.
4. No additional Global Entry/TSA credit. Only one credit for the entire account.
5. No additional annual travel credit.
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.

CSR wouldn't be so bad if the Lyft benefit works anywhere in the world. I'm most likely moving away from UR with this decision. It'll most likely be Citi and AMEX after January 12th. I'm stuck with this combination until I apply for the Citi Double Cash, which I will. It's high priority for me.
As for Citi Prestige, I really hope they'll do a 360 and add back the travel insurance. I'm willing to pay $550/year for that.

How about Avianca, it has much lower cost chart on Star A partners incl UA.
Then there is Virgin Atlantic...
No way the above 3 programs are absolutely useless to anyone. We just need to learn how to use the alliance members programs...

For the entertainment value - I just took a look of DoorDash offerings in our area - 90% of them are fast food places, places like Burger king, Subway, Polo Tropical, Miami Subs etc And their delivery time is 35 min to 45 min... Then I filtered the offerings with $ and food category, like Chinese restaurants - again majority are take out places and even one low-end buffet. One restaurant I actually know about, had its name spelled wrong, dropping the last letter from its name - it is called Silver Pond but listed as Silver Pon on Door Dash...
It is so pathetic... but of course if you are living in NYC or San Francisco or Los Angeles, it may be great benefit to you...

Again completely agree. I booked a domestic UA F seat for 15k Avianca miles just last week. Transferred instantly from Citi. Using UA miles would have cost nearly double.

I can't find in any of the news stories: when is the $60 Doordash credit effective? It's not showing on my account in the list of benefits. I only have the Dashpass benefit listed.

No added value for me so I'll move my UR to my wife's CSP and cancel when AF hits in August.

It's a pretty poor selection compared to Seamless/Grubhub/Uber Eats - especially if you filter for pickup options - and that's even living in NYC. Though I did notice the pho place at the end of my block is on DD pickup and the menu prices are the same as in store (though in reality you get a 15% discount if you call in your pick up order and don't use the apps). So I'll get 4 free meals out of the credit this year before my AF hits.

I know Lyft doesn't offer bike/scooters in my home town, but I was curious, maybe I'd be able to use those 3 free rides during my travels. But checking their site, it looks like bikes are offered only in three metros: NYC, DC, and the Bay Area. That's pretty sparse.

Does DL serve your needs? Do you know AF often can book DL flights at much lower cost than using DL program itself?

Was unaware of Aviancas chart so will definitely investigate.

DoorDash has a pickup option, but sometimes it is not offered for all the restaurants that are listed.
Even if you pick up (which is what I do), you have to watch out for inflated prices because most restaurants mark up their standard menu price to account for DoorDash's cut. For example, a local fried chicken place that I frequent offers a half chicken for $10.99 on their menu. That same chicken is $12.99 on DoorDash, whether you pick up or get delivery.

I feel like the reported changes to the CSR are insulting. They need to raise the annual fee because they're not making enough money? Sure, go ahead and do that, everybody will understand it and make their own conclusions based on that. But don't pretend that you are offsetting the increase with a bunch of useless benefits that will appease only a very narrow set of users.
My annual fee is coming up on 2/1, so rationally I should keep the CSR at the $450 price point for another year. But emotionally I just want to cancel and move on. Breakup is hard.

Chipotle on DD is regular price. That makes it easy to spend the $60 quickly.
