[Expired] [Branch Offer?] Chase Sapphire Preferred 80,000 Points Signup Bonus with $4,000 Spend

Update 11/14/22: Offer now 70k points without the annual fee waived.

Update 6/10/22: One report indicates this offer will still be available in Chase branches through 6/11/22. Note: most branches will be closed on Saturday so that leaves just today, 6/10. The annual fee might be waived in-branch.

Update 6/9/22: Referral links are down to 60,000 as well now.

Update 6/2/22: The public offer is down to 60,000. Referral links are still showing 80,000.

Update 5/27/22: Offer is actually ending on 6/1 1800 EDT now.

Update 5/19/22: Offer is ending at 6pm ET on May 31, according to OMAAT and VFTW. I wouldn’t be surprised if referral links continue to work beyond that, but worth doing soon if you’re interested.

Update 4/14/22: This offer is now publicly available, a day after it came to referral links. Again, if you can use a reader’s referral instead of the public link you’ll make someone happy!

    wholesale clubs)

  • 10% Anniversary point bonus. When you renew your card Chase will offer a 10% bonus spend. For example if you spend $25,000 you’d earn 2,500 bonus points.  This is award after the annual fee is paid. This doesn’t apply to the sign up bonus.

• Chase 5/24 rule applies to this card

Our Verdict

The 100,000 points offer from last year is long gone and it’s probably not worth waiting for it to reappear. This 80,000 points offer is quite nice, with the added bonus that the referrer will get a sweet 15,000 points bonus as well.

Be sure to generate a new referral link which shows the 80,000 offer as the older links still show 60,000.

Keep in mind you can sign up in a Chase branch and probably get the 80,000 points offer + waived $95 annual fee. If you are in 2-player mode, the referral offer is better since you’ll get the 15k referrer bonus + 80k new member bonus. (It might be possible to apply in branch and get the referrer bonus applied manually, but I’m not certain that’s true; it might depend on the banker’s knowledge, in any case.)

I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the public offer, in any case, it only helps someone else to use a referral link. We’ll add this to our List of Best Credit Card Signup Bonus Offers.

If your friend does not have a referral link, please use a reader’s referral link on this page to help out a fellow reader, you’ll make someone very happy. 🙂 Feel free to share your links there as well, though we’ll be closing the comments section there after a short time to keep it manageable.
