In reply to TANYA. You can try calling or messaging Chase for the exact reason. There may not have been enough time that passed since you closed your Sapphire Reserve.

I closed my Reserve card yesterday and tried to open a Preferred card today for the 100K bonus but my application was denied and I have no idea why. I have excellent credit, only 1-2 Chase cards in 24 months. Last Sapphire bonus was in 2016. Any ideas?

In reply to Chris. Yes, you can transfer Chase UR points behind household accounts, and you can still apply for the CSP if you're an authorized user on your wife's card.

Hello! So, I have a CSR and CF (old school CF) and cannot get the CSP b/c of current rules. If my wife opens a CSP in her name to get the current offering can she also add me as an authorized user to her CSP? Or is that against the rules of an CSR holder not allowed to have both cards? Also, if she gets the CSP and the 100k pts can she transfer that to my account if she holds the CSP as the primary? Thanks.

In reply to Matt. Yes, you would just need to combine your Freedom points with your Sapphire Reserve points!

Hi Johnny – great article! I recently downgraded my CSR to a CFU. I opened the CSR card back in 2016 and received the reward bonus around early Q2 2016. I assume now that over 48 months have passed, I could capitalize on the latest signup bonus for CSR. However, in reading all of these posts, when I downgraded, I didn’t take into account the rewards points I have currently would no longer be available to transfer to partners or worth the 1.25 per on the portal.

My question is, assuming I apply and are approved for the CSR again, would all my existing points then be eligible to be transferred to partners again and worth 1.25 per on their portal? Or would only new points earned on the new CSR be eligible?

Thank in advance for any help you can provide!

In reply to Julian. Hi Julian, downgrading your CSR to the Freedom shouldn't impact your eligibility as long as you meet all other application guidelines. Hope this helps!

Hi Johnny! I am wondering what you might be able to advise in my situation. I got the CSP in March 2017 and received the bonus in June 2017. Due to increased travel, I upgraded the card (product change) to the CSR in September 2019, right before the pandemic. Am I right that after June 2021 I will be eligible for the bonus again, since 48 months will have passed? Should I be concerned that if I downgrade my CSR to the Freedom Unlimited soon, and then re-apply for CSP or CSR in June 2021 that I wouldn’t be approved? My credit is excellent and I am at 1/24 at the moment. Thank you for any insight you can share!

In reply to Brian. There's no way to guarantee approval w/out knowing all your details credit score, etc. I believe you meet the criteria, but you can secure message Chase online in your account to be safe.

Hi Johnny, I got my CSR bonus on 11/15/2016 and have since cancelled the card. I’m currently 4/24. Would I be able to get the 80k bonus if I applied on the 11/7? Will Chase approve me and NOT give me the bonus after all the spending requirement is met?
