The Offer
- A few reddit users have reported being targeted for a 70,000 point sign up bonus after $4,000 in spend on the Chase Sapphire Preferred when they applied in the branch. From what I’ve seen the common data points are as follows:
- They have Chase Private Client Status (at least one person was matched without CPC)
- They were pre-approved, remember this also helps to by pass the Chase 5/24 rule [Read:Â Chase PreApproval In-Branch Frequently Asked Questions]
Asking To Be Matched
I only found one person that was successfully matched to this offer here (they provided this follow up proof). They applied in branch and weren’t CPC. Here is a second person. I’m trying to find out if these people also have CPC status or not. All of the data points I’ve read have stated that if you applied online your match will be denied.
Our Verdict
Standard bonus is 50,000 points but CPC clients have been able to get 60,000 points. We also saw a massive targeted offer of 100,000 points semi recently. I’m interested to find out if this targeted offer is limited to CPC clients, or if it’s just a higher targeted in branch bonus. Seems like it’s worth asking for a match if you applied in branch, but not online. Still not as high as the 100,000 point bonus on the Chase Sapphire Reserve, but at least it doesn’t come with a $450 annual fee.
60000 offer on the site now. Will the 70000 become available for the public as well?
No, the selected for you offer is generally 10k higher
Looking for advise:
I got my Chase Sapphire Preferred in Feb 2016 and today I got it downgraded to base card Chase Sapphire with no AF. I am going to get a CSR from my wife as an add-on. I already have a Chase Freedom. I did not downgrade to Freedom Unlimited because 1) I already have a Bofa which earns 1.5% on all purchases and 2) I hope I will be able to apply for chase freedom unlimited in future getting the bonus of $150.
Wanted to ask this forum, is my approach correct? or I am making a mistake or losing an opportunity to earn more points?
My DP is from last April, so I’m a little late to the party, but this might be helpful for some in the future. I applied for the CSP 50k in branch (at the Chase branch inside my local Fred Meyer store), then later SM’ed asking to be matched to the 70k offer. I was denied based on not having applied in branch. I believe that this in-store branch did not officially qualify as a branch for that particular purpose.
(However it still worked fine for the checking bonus that I knocked out at the same time)
I had just applied for the CSP yesterday and got approved, so I’m still waiting for the physical card. I called the customer service number on the back of my CSR to ask if they could match it to 70k. Apparently this is targeted for now, but they are planning on launching 70k nationally soon.
So she said that I will have to call back after I hit the spending threshold, and they will refer it to marketing to try and add the extra 20k. Fingers crossed, but based on my conversation with her, I’m pretty confident it will get matched. If you’re thinking of getting a CSP, maybe wait a little while for the higher bonus offer to be made public.
Fingers crossed it happens!
@Mike P — Did you get bonus matched to 70k eventually?
@William — Any word on possibility of 70k offered nationally?
My plan is to downgrade CSR in Sept. (when AF posts) and have CSP in hand by then to book a few more trips for EOY.
Thanks guys!
Damn, that stinks..and is basically my extact situation. Thanks for the heads up. Good luck if you try asking again/anything changes.
I’m unclear if pre approval is a requirement for being matched? For some reason I’m never pre-approved via Chase but still get approved (CSR recently). If I apply in branch (sans pre approval) am I still eligible for the 70k..?
From the datapoints we’ve seen, yes but nothing is guaranteed.
Yes, looks like pre approval is necessary. I applied in branch, wasn’t pre-approved (probably since I got the CSR a month ago), sent them a SM and was told it was only for CPC and/ or “pre select cardmembers who joined Chase after November 13, 2016.”
Applied in branch (pre-approved). Got quoted 50K UR sign-up bonus after 4K spend. Sent a secure message to Chase today. Got matched to 70K. Am a chase checking customer.
Awesome
Will you be able to tell me what message did you write to chase ?
I applied in brand under the 50k and they agreed to match. I am not a CPC member.
Is there an additional 5k when adding additional card holder?
Yes
Matched. Applied in Branch 2 months ago. I am CPC.
