Chase Sapphire Reserve

[as2]

Not guaranteed.

+1 possible though.

If I haven't yet used my global entry credit and need to cancel my card next Sunday is there anything I can do.. I assume the charge only goes through once you get approved which would probably take a few weeks..?

pretty sure you get charged when you submit the application. takes a few days for the charge to appear like any other charge.

+1
The charge is an application fee (regardless of your approval status)

IME, although you get charged regardless, the charge only posts once the application is completed. Ie approved for an interview or declined

if it's like any other charge and posts at time time of submitting than I would think a week is plenty of time ... gana go for it... thanks guys

Might be that both the charge & the initial approval take a couple of days, but they have no connection

I saw it pending only once I got the response

Just checked my statement of that month & the charge was on the same date as applying. The initial approval was only 9 days later

so to clarify, the charge posted how many days after you applied and when did the credit post? TIA

you have $10 million with chase?

LOL.
Can get it with $100. Just need to know a banker.

AFAIR it was around 2-3 days each

Same as CPC?

Well I guess that means YMMV

I'm assuming that it was pending for a few days, but it shows as the same day that I applied, and so does the credit

It wasn't easy to get. It definitely required "pull". I dont have 10 mm lol. But I have deep relationships

The real reason I did it was due to the differences between the concierge services. JPM reserve I can use the 1.5 cent per mile value in a much more flexible manner. They can literally book directly with the airline or hotel or with Expedia or even directly to the hotel. (pay for your pesach hotel etc)

To me that was worth the effort to get it.

Also I'm getting United Club access for the same price as the Regular reserve card.

I think everyone would agree that if you can get it, it's definitely worth it.

Not much "effort" involved in getting the JPMR. Then again, the added bennies you mention (aside from UA Club) aren't much to write home about either, so I guess it's a fair trade.

Wish they'd do something to distinguish it like the Centurion.

My experience was that it was hard, and definitely not a HUCA type of thing. Generally speaking They are really trying to limit this to 10mm people. Why? I have not idea as the card is not special other than what I mentioned. For me it  it means I can extract 1.5 in almost a cash like manner. But then again I happen to be stuck with Chase cards for business spending.

Im a little unsure over here as iv read conflicting reports. Im now 90 days after my Sapphire Reserve AF has hit, if i am to downgrade to the "no-fee" Sapphire card now will my $450 fee be prorated and partially refunded or since its after 30 days i am automatically on the hook for all of it, whether i downgrade or cancel...TIA
