Our Verdict
Will be interesting to see how the new pop up jail works and if 5/24 is still in effect or not. Sign up bonus is a bit disappointing given the hype but still a good deal. Much like the Sapphire Reserve Business card I think it’s very difficult to justify the annual fee on and ongoing basis but worth it first year for the sign up bonus if you can maximize some of the benefits at least. We will ad this to our list of the best credit card bonuses. Not showing on referrals yet, but when it does we will make a dedicated referral thread for people to share their links (do not share them here if it goes live).
Anyone know when this offer will expire? We’re under 48 months since last SUB on the CSP. August and September of 2021. Maybe slide an app in to see if PUJ will let me know if I’m not eligible? Or is that too risky?
I’m a little confused on the travel credit. So is it $500 instead of $300 for the first year? Or is it an additional $500?
same question
I dont have this card yet but my understanding is that they are separate credits. And the annual travel credit ($300) applies to any travel spend including outside of Chase’s travel portal
Just got the following snail mail, about 2 weeks after applying, not getting pop up for holding CSP, and then instantly denied. Now IDK if I should app again or not.
When we ran your Chase application on June 2025, we may have incorrectly declined your application. Please rest assured that this will not impact your credit bureau report.
If you wish to apply again, please visit us at chase.com/sapphire. Because it will be considered a new application, it will require a credit bureau inquiry.
Please note that an amendment has been made to our records. Previously received or amendment bonuses for this card, as well as other factors in determining your bonus eligibility.
We may also consider the number of cards you opened and closed, as well as other factors in determining the welcome bonus available to you if you currently have any other Sapphire cards open.
Sincerely, Customer Service
I just got the same snail mail letter. I have a CSP. Also not sure if I should apply again.
Currently 3/24 and denied. Received CSP bonus in late 2021 so was under the 48 months. Was offered the card without the bonus but was told I’d be denied if I declined. So fucking annoying.
Currently 3/24.
Closed CSP 10 days ago.
Denied with reason “too many requests for credit or opened accounts with us”. I have CF and CFF with 10K and 18K limits (Income is well over six figures).
After reconsideration, was denied with the reason “You already have this care of Sapphire card”.
Fucking annoying, why pull my credit if they are gonna deny later.
I heard that it takes a lot longer for a closed CSP to drop off Chase’s records versus a product change so that’s probably what happened
The CF I mentioned above is the downgrade from CSP.
the pop-up message:
We can’t provide you with a new cardmember bonus because of the number of credit cards you’ve recently opened.
Applied on 6/23 while at 4/24. Held a CSP at the time, with the SUB having been awarded sometime in late 2021 (44-45 months ago). Did not see a pop-up, instead received automatic denial without credit pull, and secure message with something along the likes of “preexisting sapphire card”.
Downgraded CSP to CFU on 7/1. PC was shown on Chase account almost immediately. Reapplied to CSR on 7/3 and was approved with no pop-up. Plan to call to expedite delivery and confirm bonus.
I think they might be expediting normally. Got my “way too extravagant, waste of money” welcome box/card within 48 hours.
I had the same, then see above.
Denied for this card after downgrading my CSP, being at 4/24 and calling reconsideration three times. Apparently I am unable to shift credit around to open this card, as I was told my denial reason was too many recent requests for credit. I had 5 inquiries in the last 12 months, and I don’t think that’s overly aggressive compared to many here.
Seems they don’t want to shift credit for many anymore. I always reduce credit on a few cards before I apply again.
Following up. Received a call from Chase fraud prevention today to confirm I applied for the card. Then approved. I’ll take the win, but this was a strange process.
Just got an email from Chase about the 100k sign up bonus + $500 credit and wanted to see what DoC thought about it. Not surprisingly the $800 annual fee is a very tough sell. The doorpass + doordash being split into $5 for a restaurant and $10×2 for other being “worth” $400 per year in credits feels egregious. I think for now I’ll hold the CSP and see if they give us a better offer in the future even if it takes a while.
Can you open both saphire cards ?????
most are getting a no.
