CREW Chase Sapphire Reserve v. Churn/Award Travel Crew

[Chuck Finley]

I did it for the 150K points but I can already tell I'm going to get addicted to the Delta lounge on domestic coach tickets.

If you fly a lot its a good value + centurion lounges are usually really solid

 

[Vanilla Tarantino]

Aw fuck yes, more bonuses! Too bad I just made some hotel reservations two weeks ago.

Just about to hit my spend to get my 100,000 bonus. The lady is working towards hers, and I get the 20,000 for the referral.

Lol the 48 months is just for a sign up bonus. They straight up denied you so something else is going on.

If you're under 5/24 call the recon line. They might just need to verify your identity.

The 48 months is for the bonus, correct, but they will not issue the card without the bonus, so if you don't meet the cutoff for the 48 months == no approval.

Should have never canceled my CSR

 

[Slimmy]

So I currently have a CSR and a Freedom card that was downgraded from the CSP a few years back.

I'm going to downgrade the CSR to the Freedom Unlimited, as I don't see myself getting $250 worth of benefits with no confirmation of any continuing Doordash credits into 2022, and I've just recently renewed my TSA-Pre as well, so only benefit really is the $300 travel credit.

Should I apply for the CSP again for the bonus first, or downgrade and then apply? Will it even matter if I haven't gotten a Chase card since 2016?

You are not eligible for the Preferred bonus if you currently have a Preferred or a Reserve. You must downgrade first and then wait a few days before applying.

You must also be 48 months past receiving your previous Sapphire bonus (for both Preferred AND Reserve).

I'm definitely past 48 months for both, got both in 2016. I'll call in this week and downgrade my Reserve.

Sad to see it go, but especially with the new Preferred perks, Preferred is becoming the better value for many people.

Let me know if you need a referral if you’re applying online (although it’s a better value for you to apply in branch since the first year fee is waived).

 

[Subliminal012]

MDD works if you want to get the 60k bonus from the reserve too. Just apply within 24 hours.

So, if I get the last several posts in this thread correctly, I should downgrade mine (and the wife's) CSR to CSP that they have been asking us to do for over a year. After some number of days, then we can reapply for the CSR and get the 100k bonus points again?

I'm assuming this is an additional card? Or is this moving the CSP back to a CSR?

Sorry, I'm yarded here...have nearly 1mln pts between our 2 cards on CSR and don't really look at points generation, but if we can get 200k for nothing... let's do it.

Yes, downgrade and reapply. You will get a new number but your downgraded card will keep all your old points.
Don't freak out if you don't get instant approval. Mine took 4 days to go through.

you have to downgrade to like a freedom or lower(see below). you are also applying for a new CSR . its not an upgrade of one of your current cards

You are not eligible for the Preferred bonus if you currently have a Preferred or a Reserve. You must downgrade first and then wait a few days before applying.

You must also be 48 months past receiving your previous Sapphire bonus (for both Preferred AND Reserve).

No no no.

You have to downgrade to a freedom or freedom unlimited. You can't have 2 sapphire cards so if you downgrade to CSP you get no bonus and can't apply for another.

Also isn't it the CSP that has the 100k?

 

[60druidgurubash]

i like how chase gives you the ability to add a new credit card to digital wallets after approval so you can use it before the physical card arrives

 

[Capt. Hammer]

Wow, after those CSP changes keeping the CSR is really hard to justify.

 

[Capt. Hammer]

So I'm going to call to downgrade my CSR to a Freedom Unlimited.

Then I wait a few days and re-apply for the CSP? Is there a link we're supposed to use to sign up for the bonus points?

 

[digital jello]

sweet. still use my sapphire preferred as my main card. wife has reserve

 

[Hisma]

Wow, after those CSP changes keeping the CSR is really hard to justify.

the increased rewards along w/ the 100k bonus I don't see how CSR is even justifiable at this point.

 

[digital jello]

my existing CSP will get those new benefits im hoping
