Chase Sapphire Reserve BENEFITS master thread

5/24 applies to this card
Minimum $10K of CL is needed, so if you can't get 10K on an instant, there's another great reason to get declined

DansDeals.com » Blog Archive » Chase Sapphire Reserve Additional User Benefits And Lounge Guesting Policy Are Awesome!

There are multiple instances reported on this very thread of someone who was way over 5/24 and did not have PC and who got approval after recon.


The information below no longer applies for 2016/2017 but should still be useful for 2017/2018

Can you still get a 2016 travel credit if you apply now for a Sapphire Reserve card?

People have been reporting various due dates in January. If you get a due date between the 6th to the 25th then your bill will close between December 9th-28th and you will have time to spend the $300 in 2016 travel credit.

It is definitely still possible to get those due dates, but there’s no guarantee. If you do apply then be sure to call reconsideration to see if you can get approved today.
You may also be able to change your payment due date to generate a December statement if your due date is earlier than January 6 or later than January 25th. Just call to have you due date changed to January 25th to have your statement close on December 28th.

From here. Hopefully this will stop the constant questions.

Curious if anyone only spent $4k including $300 travel credit & got the bonus.
Or does everybody around here play it safe. :)

I'm fairly sure there were reports a while ago that it did work, but I will leave it to you to find it.

Safe and unsafe is relative.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Is there a risk of a clawback if I downgrade after I get the point in time to avoid the AF?

Received denial letter stating we are at the maximum amount of credit we can extent you. The problem is I have to credit with them.  >:(

A family member with the same last name living in Israel applied using my address.  I got a letter saying they need proof that she lives at the address like a utility bill. What would you recommend doing? (I can in theory change the utility bill to her name but is it fraud?)

Father well over 5/24 with AUs and under without. Applied, had him called and told him exactly what to say. The rep said "sorry due to number of cards open in past 2 yrs we are unable to approve you". So he reads his part of the script, after a bit of stumbling he finally says the line I am him to say: "but I am not finicially responsible for the authorized user accounts". Then the rep goes "OK that's gonna change everything then". Basically, it sounds like all others here where it sounds like it's gonna be approved but needs to go thru an additional phase.
Yeah, the same thing happened with my wife, minus the stumbling. Once she said she wasn't responsible for the AU cards she got approved.

You should do nothing. If you want to help your relative you can recommend that she change the address on one of her existing credit cards. That should help provide proof of address while also adding your address to her credit report which should eliminate this issue in the future.

She actually is an AU on a different CSR at my address will that work?

She doesn't live at the address correct? So your choices are lie, let it go or have her move in.

I think it's more complex than that JTZ since many people residing abroad keep their money in the US and retain a US address, why can't they have a credit card? Unless you tell me it's illegal or against the TC to have a credit card when living abroad.

What I am saying is they want proof she lives at that address. Retaining a US address means she lives there?
From T&C's: You must have a valid permanent home address within the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.

Retaining an address means that you get mail there and may return when in the states. Some people have an address where their buisness is located in the US. What do you think about a yeshiva guy (or exchange student) should they forfeit their credit cards because they are living abroad? Re the TC thank you for pointing that out, although as you may know many people do not necessarily comply with them.

I am not judging anyone. Just pointing out the facts.
