Chase Sapphire Reserve

[loveddeals]

New fee will hit me on 4/1/2020, and I dont think that with the new fee, this card is worth for me. I currently have about 160,000 UR points.

I signed up for Reserve in March 18, Sapphire Preferred (March 18), and Ink Preferred in May 18. I closed Sapphire Preferred and Ink Preferred in April 19. I haven't signed for any other card since 2018.

Is there any other card that I can sign up, get some sign-on bonus URs (if possible) and transfer my existing UR to this new card? I understand I will lose out on the better exchange rate if I dont have the Reserve card, but I feel $250 fee (after taking out $300 for travel credit) is too much for what I get out of the card. 

Thanks for your help and guidance.

You can open a Freedom or Freedom Unlimited, but your UR will have much less value, and will not transfer to airlines, unless you open a card that allows it. You can upgrade the Freedom or Freedom Unlimited to a Sapphire preferred or reserve, but you'd have to wait a year from when you open the card.

Ink unlimited will get you 50k points but no airline mile trasferability

Thanks for the replies. So, there is no card that will transfer to the airlines unless I have a specific card that allows it?

And why cant I sign up for Sapphire Preferred and get bonus points? It will be 2 years in March when I last opened the card, but less than a year of account closure.

You need to wait 48 months from when your last bonus posted, to get another sapphire. The ink is still 24 months I believe, so maybe open a freedom/FU or one of the free inks, and then open an Ink Preferred once you're eligible again.

Question about PC CSR--

Wife PC from CSP (8.2018 SUB) November 2018  partial refund -  but the AF for CSR didn't post till July 2019 - Travel credits posted December 2018/2019.   DW refereed me CSP 10.2018 before PC. I'm thinking of PC to CSR.

JPMC mailed about AF increase and that need to reply by cancel by March or May.

If she PC her card to CF - will they clawback travel credits or Dash credits or would they prorate the AF refund?   Or should I wait till AF post then PC.

TIA

If someone booked tickets with reserve but then cancelled their card and now have a trip delay after the card is cancelled, can they get the travel reimbursement from the reserve being that it was booked on it?

IIRC - You don't, its only valid while card is active.

I think you would in general with cards besides Amex. Ask them.

Yes I called them and they said that they would cover even if the card is no longer active

Where can I find more recent info re this card? The wiki is hopelessly outdated. Is there a DDMS post? Or something else? Thanks.

When I login to Chase, it says "You're already approved" for the Reserve and Preferred cards.[/size]A few questions:
[/size]1 - does that really mean I am approved, not subject to whatever?
[/size]2 - the Reserve offer is 50k UR, and the Preferred offer is 60k. Are these very good, good, or regular offers? IOW, is it worth waiting for a better offer to come around?
[/size]3 - can I get the bonus on both of these cards? Or does one knock out the other (there is language there: "This product and credit line is available to you if you don't have any Sapphire card, and haven't received a new cardmember bonus for any Sapphire card in the past 48 months." That is why I am asking this)
[/size]4 - if I can get the bonus on both, should I apply for both together? Or wait between them?
[/size]5 - any general thoughts re these cards would be appreciated, especially the Reserve, given the steep AF, whether it's worth it. (PMs welcome)
[/size]Thanks!

1) Just means you have good credit not an approval
2) great offers currently not worth waiting
3) you can only get a bonus on 1 sapphire card in 48 months however there is one way to bypass is applying for 1 card today then the other the next business day.... risky but sone say it's worth the risk.
4) get the higher bonus and you can always produce change to the other.
5) Reserve $300 travel credit cam easily offset the AF
With the benefits its worth $550
You can always just apply for the preferred $95 AF then change to the cwdd that will be best for your needs.

Modified Double Dip GIYF

So it needs to be next day, not same day, correct? What are DDF DPs re the likelihood of this working? Meaning, that they allow both to stay alive and double bonus.

[Iz]

Yes.

My Chase banker (who seems to know his stuff) told me that this language DOES mean actual approval.

If the APR is a specific number it's usually instantly approved.
Doesn't mean you wont be approved without using the pre approved link. Chase will approve you regardless
