Chase CSR replacement card (better quality card)

sjt · ‎05-31-2025

I just received my Chase CSR replacement card the other day. It is heavier than the old one, and the Visa logo is on the back. Additionally, "Chase" and "Sapphire Reserve" are laser-engraved, not printed. Overall, a better quality card.

Isn't "Chase CSR" redundant?

[Until I can make a pretty signature, here’s an updated draft]

Everyday 5% CB:
Chase prime Visa // citi CUSTOM CASH “A” // citi CUSTOM CASH “B” // citi SHOP YOUR WAY (5% gas (in points), lucrative spending offers) // mylowe’s Rewards // Target circle card // primis Perks debit Visa (50c CB per transaction (5% CB or more up to $10 spend))

5% CB rotating:
Chase “OG” freedom Visa // DISCOVER it Cash Back // nusenda CU Platinum Cash Rewards

Everyday 4% CB:
US Bank Smartly (v1.0)

Everyday 3% / 2.2% CB:
AOD FCU Visa Signature (3%, sockdrawered) // upgrade Cash Rewards Elite (2.2%, sockdrawered)

Welcome Offer / credits only:
Chase SAPPHIRE PREFFERED (grabbed my $1,000, sockdrawered, will cancel) // NFCU FLAGSHIP REWARDS (elevated Welcome Offer, annual prime credit, sockdrawered)

Hotel card:
Chase IHG ONE REWARDS PREMIER (elevated Welcome Offer, 1 free night/yr)

On my radar:
Langely FCU Signature Cash Back (5% CB monthly selectable cat) // Safe CU Cash Back+ (Quarterly rotating 5% CB cats plus bonus cats) // upgrade MyFive Cash Rewards (5% CB monthly selectable cat) // US Bank Kroger (and family) World Elite Master Card(s) (5% CB Mobile Wallet)

My pre-refresh CSR was laser engraved with Chase and Sapphire Reserve, and the Visa logo is on the back. I only picked it up late last year so maybe there was a different version before that?

Either way, congrats on the upgraded card. I have been on the fence on whether or not to get the new card. When Amex refreshed the Platinum card a few years ago the newer card was a downgrade and lost the word "Platinum" across the front.

Amex - Platinum, BCP
BofA - Unlimited Cash Rewards Sig
Chase - CSR, Amazon Prime
