CSP 80,000 points offer

randomguy1 — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 20:58:04 GMT

Crazy 80k offer and same spend. I wish my referral link was showing this as P2 is about to PC and re-apply.

I wonder if this is to bait the last group of interested people to app for this before they revise the card like they just did with Freedom -> Freedom Flex. As it stands now, the card is a lot less interesting...even compared to the no AF cards.

It would take quite a bit of spend to overtake 80k points even with a 99 annual fee though. Can always PC after a year. 60k point difference.

That's a sweet SUB!! I think I'm switching mine to CFF. Not getting much use... Wondering how they're going to keep that card attractive with new launch.

They were trotting out higher than the usual 70k-80k points offer back in the Dec-Jan timeframe this past year.

I think the decision is to use the elevated points to push more consumers into the CSP rather than load in with the CSR which seems like what most people want to do. CSR is attracting the heavy users going overboard on 3x travel.

That's awesome, that is a HUGE signup bonus!

But...

I hope this isn't the extent of the Sapphire revamp that we've all been waiting for.

Elevated offers also bring people to the Chase Credit Cards section which introduces new traffic for their "new" Chase Freedom Flex card. Smart move JPM Chase.

Yep, 80,000 points is now showing as the public offer on the Chase website. You don't even have to be logged in to see it.

Sub is amazing. Sent out link when I saw earlier today to a few friends so they can collect 800+ dollars depending on how they choose to use it. Sure it has to do with the Freedom Flex and something to come on CSP/CSR although you think they would of done something simliar for the CSR..

And that's noteworthy because I think most (or maybe all?) of the other >60k point SUB's in the recent past were targeted, not for general public

One of the Chase Ink cards recently had an 80,000 point signup bonus that was open to the general public. That offer stayed up for a full year.

You're correct, I was meaning specifically about the CSP though, my bad

Very nice offer indeed. Chase, if you're listening, if you're not going to improve the CSR then please allow folks to have the CSP/CSR combo.

I was thinking of downgrading my CSR but I'm hoping there is something on the horizon as I'd hate to PC and then regret it. Two months out from CSR renewal...fingers crossed for some kind of announcement.

What would that combo be able to do, that the CSR by itself can't do? I thought the CSR had everything the CSP has, plus more.

Their 48mo SUB restriction applies to all sapphire products, so even if you could have both cards, you could only get one SUB or the other (within 48 months), unless they change that policy too, which I can't really imagine they're interested in doing. They have a strong disdain for card churners, so it doesn't seem like promoting card churning would be in their best interest.

They would have to make them different so there is synergy like the Gold\Platinum

It's a sweat deal, lets hope it stays around for the "possible" refresh! Unfortunately I'm still 24 months away from being eligible for the SUB.

I'm a mere 32 months away... so close I can smell it

Exactly. I had been hoping for the last couple of years that Chase would take a lesson from Amex's successful refresh of the Gold card and refresh the CSP to focus on gas and groceries rather than on the same dining and travel categories that the CSR uses.
