Chase sapphire brand

[Bennyk9292]

I just signed up for the chase sapphire reserve.
I got a letter in the mail saying that I was denied the reserve being that I’m a ‘chase sapphire brand holder’.
I’ve never heard of something like this in my life. I have friends and colleagues who have the preferred and reserve and we’re able to receive the bonus and sign up points from both cards.
The bank told me I need to upgrade my card to reserve but I won’t receive the bonus points.
I downgraded my card to the freedom ultimate rewards so I don’t have so many issues.
I have the original chase sapphire which never offered any bonus points or sign up points to begin with.
When I signed up for the reserve, I did the whole sign up for 3 cards at once so I onl incur one credit pull. I got approved for the SPG.
What am I able to do to get the reserve and it’s points along with it and hopefully not having another hard pull on credit report.
Any and all answers help. Thanks!

Welcome to the forums. Definitely don't need a new thread for this. The "start here" board is a great place for you to start. If you read up a little, you'll learn that chase no longer allows people to apply for a sapphire product while holding one.

Whatever the above posters wrote is very true and if you signed up for a Chase card and an Amex card, it'll be 2 credit pulls.

Lol denied for the Reserve but approved for the SPG .. maybe the OP meant the new Marriott? Dan basically described it as an SPG earning card, I can understand the confusion
