Re: Chase Sapphire Preferred

That bonus of 60k is set in stone the only times I've seen it change is a better offer comes out within days and you call to get the better offer. As for maximizing the bonus on the card it's done thru transferring points to the preferred airline/hotel you want to use

Congratulations on your approval.

 

I don't think there's any way to change the bonus, but I don't know, never having tried to do that.

Chase used to match offers like that, but no longer. A couple years ago I applied for an 80K offer that was boosted to 100k within 24 hours of my approval, and Chase would not match it. I tried multiple times, multiple contact methods.
