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

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.

Why not book a refundable ticket or hotel room? Once credit posts you can refund it? I had that with a United change fee- they said they would refund it, but meanwhile chase credited me the travel credit. So I ended up with a credit balance in the card.

Does that forsure work for this?
Has anyone tried that yet?

How to quickly generate $300 for the travel credit? Will a larger refundable Delta ticket work?

Just an FYI - my travel credit began again and I have my EZ-Pass connected to CSR. I was charged the monthly fee and received travel credit for it.
