While this forum is still not ready for the FT "Look it up n00b", I feel thst a little move in that direction would be appropriate.  Basically:

1) Don't apply for a card unless you really understand what it offers.

The differences between the CSP and CS have been discussed in numerous threads here and elsewhere, and  Chase even provides a helpful page:

Chase replied back and said unfortunately theu can change my account from CS to CSP because i must wait 12 months.

Oh well, the 500 dollar spend sign up bonus is more realistic for me right now anyways. Although i am still a little bummed because i wanted a metal card to complete my apping. Get a grip im telling myself lol.

In the future OP, it pays to reasearch things rather than look at pretty pictures on the website and assume.  But, the key element, is definitely noted above.
