[Please see an update on the details of the branch offer in this separate post.]
New reports indicate that the 100,000 online Chase Sapphire Preferred offer is now available in branch as well. The $95 annual fee IS being waived in branch, so you can get the better offer and get the fee waiver by applying in branch. Be sure to double-check that you are being offered the new 100,000 bonus and not the older 80,000 bonus as some branches/bankers are still offering the older offer.
One additional note: I think there’s a good chance that referral links will soon get the 100,000 offer as well (no inside info, just a guess). That offer does not have the $95 fee waiver, but the referrer will get the referral bonus. Some people will prefer that referrer bonus + online convenience versus the $95 fee waiver.

Where to post referral links?
No where

100k offer with first year fee waiver and $50 grocery statement credit in branch! Even though the offer will likely show 80k in branch with fee waiver and $50 grocery statement credit like it was previously before the 100k offer came out, they will add on another 20k separately after meeting min spend requirement.
If you are in 2 player mode, waiting for referral offer to update still makes sense since 15k points that can be redeem for a minimum of $187.50 is better than $145.

Thanks! Posted now separately https://www.doctorofcredit.com/chase-sapphire-preferred-branch-offer-100000-points-50-grocery-credit-waived-annual-fee/
Still waiting for 100k referral so wife can refer me and collect on the bonus.
Cool!
Has anyone heard if the referral link will show the current offer? I called and they told me it would not but I was wondering if there are different data points out there or if that’s what was said about the 80k offer because my link shows THAT offer rather than the current one.
Is the in branch annual fee waiver for the first year only? If so, what do you suggest doing after the first year to avoid paying the fee?
You can downgrade the card to the Chase Sapphire.
How much is referral bonus typically?
online it says 15k points
10k or 15k. Currently 15k.
Is there anyway to check when I last received the bonus? I have noted the approval date which was June 8, 2017 but I do not have a clue when I got the bonus. Will the still pull your credit if you are not eligible. I remember sometime ago they were refusing without pulling in case you were not eligible for the bonus.
Check your statements. I would use the data of statement closing as bonus posting the same.
I already closed that account.
@SA: In the future, download all of your statements when you close an account. It doesn’t have to be done before you close because the online statements are still available for several months after closure.
Check the the UR section of monthly statements for June, July, Aug and Sep 2017.
You should be able to SM or call chase to get that date. The bonus posts upon statement close, so you can figure it was at least a month after June 8.
Just call Chase, and they’ll tell you the last time you got a bonus.
Has anyone seen an end date mentioned on this promotion? P2 should be eligible for a CSP bonus at the end of the month.
You find any updates to this? Curious as well.
I just opened today in branch for 80K + 50 grocery credit + AF waived first year. I asked the banker if they’re planning to offer 100K + first AF waiver later but he said no. I’m hoping I can get the 20K adjusted later
They rarely adjust the bonuses.
Do I qualify if I already own Chase Reserve?
No, one SAPPHIRE card only
