Our Verdict
The standard bonus for Sapphire Reserve is 50,000, and has been increased to 60,000 for the past few months. This upcoming offer for 70,000 will begin in branches on July 18th, and will be sent out as a targeted mail offer as well, according to Reddit user EosHuffer. Sounds like the regular online offer will likely not get increased and will remain at 60,000 points.
Chase will not be matching the 70,000 offer; bummer for those who applied under the 60,000 points offer recently. We saw a similar thing with the Sapphire Preferred card where they increased the signup offer to 80,000 and then did another increase to 100,000.
Given that you can only have one Sapphire card, you might want to get the Sapphire Preferred with 100,000 bonus instead of the Sapphire Reserve with 70,000. But if you need the Sapphire Reserve for increased benefits this is a good deal. See these 26 Things Everybody Should Know About Chase Credit Cards before applying for a Chase card.

Does anyone know if being targeted for this snail mail offer will bypass the 48 month Sapphire bonus restriction?
Just got an email from Chase saying that I can refer people for the 100K point CSP offer and that I would get 20K points for referring. The end of the new referral date is 1/4/2022.
Wonder if this is a response to the new CapOne card?
Did you click through and see if it actually works? Far as I know, referral links are down to 60k now https://www.doctorofcredit.com/chase-sapphire-preferred-referrals-now-showing-100000-points-offer-20000-for-referrer/
People are FOMOing in, like they always do. Just wait for 80k CSR after Chase grandfathers everyone to the 550 AF.
Makes sense - Chase wants to promote the CSP first and foremost and now that the 100k is going away they'll give the CSR a little boost, especially now that all the people who bit on the CSP offer can't get this one.
Any recent data points of using a 100K CSP through referral and MDD the 70K CSR In brand recently?
Does anyone know if the priority pass is shipped automatically? When I go to the benefits page, it says that Priority Pass benefit is already activated (I didn't do that).
Yes IIRC it's shipped automatically
I had to call them . It seems like it was because this is the 2nd time I am getting the CSR.
Easy way to remedy this is to send a secure message and ask for a replacement PP card
Is the new offer at the branch for the Reserve's annual waived? Anyone knows?
No. And I don't think they will do that anytime soon if ever.
Did anyone get this? Should I call my branch to confirm the offer before I go there?
I had a friend call in on 7/19 and confirm the availability. He went in applied that day.
Thanks. I will go in some time this week :)
Got the card :)
lol/24, thank you
Looks like the online offer is ending the 30th
Scratch that. CSP offer is ending the 30th not the this
