The last time I applied for a Sapphire card and received the bonus was in August 2015. I later downgraded my Sapphire cards to Freedom cards, so I don't currently have any Sapphire cards and haven't applied for new ones in over 3 years. I just tried applying for a new Reserve card and was denied because I got the bonus in the lats 48 months. Since when is there a 4 year wait in between getting the same card? Has anyone else had this issue or any ideas of a way around it?
