Will Chase Match The New? (Depends, United Quest Being Matched)

Update 4/15/22: Chase is matching to the United Quest 90,000 mile bonus (Hat tip to NoShitDickTracy). So far it’s not looking good for them matching the new 80,000 Sapphire bonus.

Original post: Chase had a long-standing policy to match increased public signup bonuses which come out within 90 days of signup. However, lately it seems to vary by the offer: when a new signup offer comes out, they apparently decide internally whether or not to match the offer, and customers find out by asking and finding out whether they are matching this current offer. We’ve seen them match both business cards and personal cards, yet other times we see them not agreeing to give a match.

Chase just released a new 80,000 points + $50 bonus on the Sapphire Preferred card (previously 60,000 + $50) and a 60,000 points bonus on the Sapphire Reserve card (previously 50,000 points).

Are they matching these offers for those who recently signed up? No. The data points we’ve seen so far from those who called or messaged Chase indicate that this offer is not eligible for matching.

One caveat: it is possible that Chase still hasn’t come out with a decision on this, and eventually they’ll decide to match the offer for those who recently signed up. We’ll certainly update if that happens, but for now the going assumption is that these offers are not eligible for matching. Also worth noting that in previous Sapphire Preferred increased bonuses they never ended up giving the match, so I’d assume they will not match this time either.

Approved for the United business card at 75K/$5K spend about two weeks ago. Asked to be matched to the new offer for total of 150K/$20K spend. Chase declined to match.

Has anyone tried signing up with a refferal link (80k), and then calling to get matched to the 90k offer on the united quest card?

Just got told they could not honor my request to match the 80k sign up bonus. Signed up for chase sapphire preferred in March. Received 60k bonus by April. Received an invite by mail to apply for the 80k offer about a week ago. REJECTED when inquired about it. New to the sapphire so I’m just excited to get into this points and miles game 😜. Good luck to anyone else trying to get that match tho!!!

Anyone know if the plain Sapphire counts as a card in the sapphire family when going for the CSP bonus?

Chase declined matching after going in branch and explaining offer and online through private message after just signing up for 60k preferred.

Be very wary of Chase. They agreed to match an offer on the United business card last year, kept promising the points, and eventually reneged completely making up a different story everytime I called them on the phone about it. They have no honor, I would get it in writing.

My experience. So I have the Chase BUSINESS Ink Preferred I just got last month for 80k. Now they have a 100k point bonus offer and after messaging them directly, they matched it.

Hasn’t the bonus been 100k for quite some time now?

Damn! I guess I should have waited another couple of days for their system to update.
