Sapphire help!!!

[D.S.]

I'm a little bit of a rookie at this.  I got the Chase Sapphire, but I managed to forget about it until after my 3-month period to spend was over (please don't say anything - I feel like an idiot).  I really want to get the 50,000 points.  Should I cancel my card and immediately apply again?  Should I "churn" (never learned what that means)?  Help!

Maybe sm them and see what they can do.

[D.S.]

What is 'sm"?  I e-mailed them from their website, but all they'd tell me is that my 3 months are over.  I asked for a little longer.

the first thing you should do (if you didnt yet) hook yourself up with a chase banker, thats a very important key when dealing with chase,

I think I had 93 days from the account opening date as told by a few reps. Are you on the 90th day? If so, go to walmart and buy big ticket items for return later, they post fast.

[D.S.]

If I don't happen to know a Chase banker (which I can't think of one)...?

[D.S.]

They say I'm more than a week past

They say I'm more than a week past

Try to tell them that u received the card very late and u were already way into the first month so maybe they'll be nice and give u another 2 weeks... but u r gonna have to do some serious shopping

Sorry to say this, but my feeling is you're out of luck (at least with regard to this Sapphire).

[asd]

churn means closing and then opening your card again witch looks like you best option

I'm all ready to spend the necessary amount immediately!  I just don't know how to go about asking.

Try calling. Maybe retention dept. Call and call until you find someone who will help, or until you give up

you get 50k points with chase SP not the S itself.

[D.S.]

I don't understand.

[AJK]

I don't understand.

I'm assuming, he's trying to point out that for the 50K you need to have been approved for the Chase Sapphire Preferred not Chase Sapphire.

which is obviously not true since there was a 50k offer for the regular sapphire too

[AJK]

Don't look at me
