Chase Sapphire Elite...

Anonymous — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 02:32:28 GMT

Supposedly on August 21st Chase is introducing a new card to compete with AmEx Plat and Citi Prestige called Sapphire Elite. Posts on reddit and FT have recently come in the last few hours. Thoughts?

Thanks for the info. I have been waiting to app for the CSP since the 5/24 rule and this could be a better card? Good things come to those who wait!

Can you link me the reddit? A quick Google search turned up nothing.

I can't get any core Chase cards for 2 years anyway, but curious if this is true.

No info anywhere on Reddit or trusty old Google, hmmm perhaps it's already been nerfed.

Found it, they got a patent in May for "Sapphire Reserve".

Guess we'll see what happens. If it's good and not immediately 5/24 i would pick it up.

Interesting! A higher end version of the Sapphire, hope it is solid metal like Ritz

The rumors said it will be bonded metal like CSP, not solid like the Ritz.

Interesting I will have to talk DH into this card as he is 4/24

This is an interesting rumor. It'd be nice to see a Chase UR earning product go toe to toe with the Amex Plat and the Citi Prestige. I'm really curious to see how this compares to the newly soon to be nerfed Prestige. I'm guessing Chase had all the benefits set and contracts signed before the Citi announcement, and will probably compete with Citi's pre-nerf benefits.

Edit: for clarity

If it competes with the nerfed Prestige it won't sway anyone from Amex Platinum.

I have yet to hold a Ritz card in real life. Is it that much more "metally" than CSP? What about the Chase Marriott? Is that bonded or solid?

The Chase Marriott is metal bonded. It's exactly the same as the CSP except a different color, black. It does look good though.

I have both the Ritz and the CSP and the difference is night and day, the Ritz is way way heavier, I also have the United Club and it's exactly like the CSP.

rumored to have 100k sign up bonus, as long as no 8k spending I might give it a shot, I'm only at 3/24
