A bunch of us sent out fax applications for the JP Morgan Reserve, a card almost identical to the Sapphire Reserve, due to a leaked application fax number and a story of a couple people who got approvals that way.
Not surprisingly, Chase never processed these applications, and they’ve now sent out letters confirming that, “we are unable to process your application for the J.P. Morgan Reserve credit card. The application was not considered because it was not submitted through the process authorized for this credit card.”
The main hope was that the first few people would get in the door before it slammed shut, though I haven’t yet heard any success stories.
Luckily, no hard pull was done for these applications.
If you have $5-10M in accounts with Chase, you can get this card by contacting your private banker. Our review on the J.P. Morgan Reserve can be found here.
