Chase Sapphire Reserve

You can't avoid the AF. Lol

I thought if you cancel within a month of the AF posting you can get it refunded?

[Mf1]

You can get preffered and after spending for bonus upgrade to reserve

Thanks, but don't have time for that.  Need to book as soon as I can.

Uh, 12 months?

Uh, 12 months?

I don't understand what you're saying.  I want to book a trip right away with Chase points at 1.5 cents pp.  Is there a way to do that with CSP?

[imayid2]

Thanks.  I'm applying for the 1.5 cent value on points.  I'm looking to book airfare and hotel so I think the difference will be more than 40k.  I also want the free breakfast that's included with the Edit with CSR.  Is there a better way to do it with CSP?

Maybe consider opening a preferred and an aeroplan, and transfer points to aerplan miles at 1:1. If you will be transferring a lot you can get up to 25k bonus points.

Then book your travel with the aeroplan card and PYB at 1.25. It”ll probably be a close enough redemption value to CSR, plus you’ll have the benefits of getting the preferred bonus as well as booking directly with the airline.

Oh wow, interesting.  I'll look into this, thanks

No. Was saying you can’t even upgrade after spending. You’ll need to wait 12mo. from card opening.

Anyone got this offer?

I don't think I got any notice - you have to check in your Chase account on the page of Chase Travel.

Here are the main points:

[mgarfin]

How long will it take after doing a product change from Sapphire Preferred to Sapphire Reserve for Chase it give me 1.5C per point?

Can also downgrade back after using the point or it can trigger Adverse actions?

Wondering the same thing.
Any info on this??

No one who has no dp would recommend. And if they did they wouldn’t share because then it would cause adverse actions to the community. So you are on your own, unless you have a really nice friend

question is the same for using the travel credit then downgrading back

So it seems that the PP with Cap1 caused others to start changing stuff.

 It seems thr CSR is going up another 245$

the rumors about these changes were out there well before Cap1 changed PP access.
