The current offer is 125,000 points for 3 months of $6,000 spend.
Instead of the one-time $500 credit, you'll receive an additional 25,000 points.
For those of you who found the $500 credit difficult to redeem, the offer to get the entire signup bonus in points might be better.

Saree cards issued by Chase (Chase Sapphire Reserve®) is back with a major update.
I think the consensus is that this update is a good thing.
- First, the bonus "once in a lifetime" rule was introduced, so for those of you who have had the Sari card in the past, the new benefits are literally a blessing in disguise!
- The consensus seems to be that many of the new benefits are more of a hassle to use than a real upgrade worth the increased annual fee.
But, That the UR 100,000 points + $500 Chase Travel℠ promo credit after 3 months of $5,000 spend is the highest sign-up bonus we've ever seen, so it's a great offer for first-time Sari cardholders.I don't think there's any disagreement about that.
We're also hearing that the newly introduced Points Boost feature (a variable value rather than a fixed 1.5-cent value when redeeming UR points for cash on Chase Travel℠) has some positive aspects to it, contrary to some concerns.
At the end of the day, the question is: Is it worth keeping the Sari card in year two?
In today's post, we'll show you what's new with the Sari card,
- Offer Basic History
- A full complement of benefits
- Good to know, but ambiguous benefits
- Great perks for big spenders
- Things to keep in mind
- Card application eligibility requirements
and more to break it down.
New in this release is the Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ Card (Sapphire Reserve for Business℠)will be covered in a separate article.
Table of Contents
1. Offer Basic History
The basics of this offer are
- 5,000 for 3 months
- 125,000 UR points, which are Chase's own points
On top of that, you'll receive a $500 Chase Travel℠ promo credit to use on Chase's own travel booking portal, Chase Travel℠ (this is a one-time offer and will expire if you don't use it up).
Considering that the sign-up bonus was UR 100,000 points when the Sari card was first launched in the past, the sign-up bonus itself is probably the best offer ever.
However, the annual fee has increased significantly for the newly launched Sari card.
In the past, a year ago, $550 $450but if you apply now, you'll have to pay $795 in annual fees for the first year.
The answer to the question of whether it's worth the annual fee is whether the new and updated benefits are actually meaningful to you, and I would say that depends a lot on where you live, your travel patterns, and your spending habits.

|---|---|
| Business cards | Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ NEW: 200,000 points after 6 months of $30,000 spend |
| Personal cards | Chase Sapphire Reserve® Highest bonus ever: 125,000 points after spending $6,000 in the first 3 months of card issuance |
2. sufficiently available benefits
There are a number of new benefits that have been introduced.
In my personal opinion, there are two of these benefits that are fully available and can therefore play a real role in lowering your annual fee.
1) $300 annual travel credit
The $300 travel credit is a case where a benefit that existed before has survived.
The idea is that you can automatically earn up to $300 in credit each year (on your anniversary year) as long as your spending qualifies for travel, with no strings attached (like using specific sites).
This benefit is so easy to use that it can be argued that it actually lowers the annual fee.
2) $500 credit for stays with The EditSM
The second is The EditSM This is a new benefit tied to the hotel program (seeOffer available for existing sari holders starting 10/26/2025.)
The EditSM is Chase's version of Amex's Fine Hotels & Resorts hotel program, where you can earn perks like free breakfast for two, a $$100 hotel credit, upgrades, late checkout, and more when you book two nights or more through the Chase site.
And if you're a Sari Card member, you can get a statement credit for using your Sari Card to make a reservation, which can be up to $250 for each half of the year, or up to $500 for a full year if you split the year into two halves.
This is the case with the Shilla Hotel in Seoul, which is $329 for a one-night stay and $717 for a two-night stay, and you get $250 back.
3. Nice to have, but ambiguous benefits
The following benefits are great if you use them well,
- Benefits that you can't use if you don't live in your neighborhood ($300 dining credit)
- Heavily personalized perks (Apple TV+, Apple Music, Peloton)
- Benefits that require a lot of effort each month to find and eat (DoorDash; Lyft)
and more, organized in a table.
These benefits are so region-specific that if you're a typical cardmember, you'll probably feel more comfortable assuming they don't exist outside of Apple TV+ and Apple Music.
Of course, if you can find and use each and every one of them, you can dramatically lower your annual fee.
| Benefits | Maximum amount per year | Details | Caveats | Remarks (new offer effective 10/26/25 for existing members) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple TV+ and Apple Music subscriptions | $250 | Apple TV+, Apple Music subscription benefits | Offer valid 6/22/2027 | New |
| dining credit | $300 | 150 semi-annually for dining at restaurants on Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables | Focused on large cities | New |
| DashPass Membership | $120 | DashPass membership | Must be activated by 12/31/2027 | Existing benefits |
| DoorDash promos | $300 | Up to $25 per month, with $5 for restaurants and two $10 payments valid for groceries, retail orders, etc. | Valid through 12/31/2027 | Existing benefits |
| StubHub credits | $300 | $150 semi-annual for StubHub, viagogo purchases | Until 12/31/2027. Activation required | New |
| Lyft credits | $120 | 10 per month | Valid through 9/30/2027 | Existing benefits |
| Peloton credits | $120 | 10 monthly credit if you have a Peloton membership | Valid through 12/31/2027. Activation required. | New |
4. great for big spenders
The trend with cards these days is to prioritize big spenders.
This trend is clearly reflected in this Sari card revamp.
That is, the benefits you get if you spend more than $75,000 a year on a calendar year basis are decent.
I think it's a good deal if you're a big spender and can squeeze it all onto one card.
| Benefits | Maximum amount per year | Details | Caveats |
|---|---|---|---|
| IHG One Rewards Diamond Elite Status | IHG Top Rated. Free breakfast perks | Valid for the remainder of the year after spending $75,000 + the following year | |
| Southwest Airlines A-list status | Elite status on Southwest Airlines | Valid for the remainder of the year after achievement + 1 year thereafter | |
| Credit for The Shops at Chase | $250 | Get $250 in statement credit when you use your card at Chase's own online stores | Must be used within the year of achievement + one year following the year of achievement. |
| Southwest Airlines Chase Travel credit | $500 | Up to $500 statement credit when you purchase a Southwest ticket from Chase Travel. | Must be used within the year of achievement + one year following the year of achievement. |
5. Things to keep in mind
There is one caveat to this offer.
The catch is that the $500 credit you get as a signup bonus is a one-time use, and if you redeem it for a $500 or less travel deal, you'll lose the rest.
In the terms and conditions, it says "The promotional credit is valid for a one-time use only, if you apply the promotional credit to a transaction less than $500, you will forfeit the remaining balance".
I think this is something to keep in mind.
6. Eligibility requirements to apply for the card
Finally, there are eligibility requirements to apply for the card.
This is important.
1) Remove concurrent ownership restrictions
First, we've removed the restriction on simultaneous Sapphire card holdings.
Previously, if you had the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, you couldn't have the Sapphire Card, so you had to give up one of the two cards.
With this rule change, it is now possible to hold both the Sharp and Sari cards.
2) Have a Sharp card for the signup bonus, but not apply for the Sari card
The ability to hold concurrently does not mean that you can hold the Sharp Card and receive the sign-up bonus on the Sari Card.
In the terms, it says "The new cardmember bonus may not be available to you if you currently have open any other personal Sapphire cards...".
So, if you currently have the Sharp card, I believe you can apply for the Sari card after downgrading to a card like the Freedom (it should pop up if you apply while you have it).
3) Introduce a "once in a lifetime" rule
The old 48-month rule was long, but it means Chase has officially opened the door to new sign-up bonuses.
That door was closed this time around with the introduction of the "once in a lifetime" rule.
In the terms and conditions, it says "The new cardmember bonus may not be available to you if you currently have any other personal Sapphire cards open, previously held this card or received a new cardmember bonus for this card"It says
It says that those who have had a Sari card in the past or received a signup bonus may not be eligible for the new member bonus.
The wording used is "may not be available" rather than "are not available," which leaves some wiggle room, but we'll have to wait and see if existing Sari cardholders or those who previously received the signup bonus will receive a new one.
To summarize,
- If you've never had a Sari card before and don't currently have any other Sapphire family cards, I think you're good to go..
- I've never had a Sari card, but if you currently have a Sharp card, I think you can downgrade it to a Freedom family card and apply.
- For those of you who have had Sari cards in the past, I think you need to look at the situation.
5/24 is an unofficial rule, so it's not listed in the terms, but it's safe to assume it applies.
Let's wrap up today's post.
The Sari Card's major makeover was a disappointment for existing members, as the "once in a lifetime" rule was introduced.
However, it may be a good deal for those who have never had a Sari card before, so it's worth reading the offer details carefully.

I have a question about hotel credits.
For example, if I plan a 4-night trip in May next year (2026), and I book 2 nights on December 31, 2025 (second half of the year) and the remaining 2 nights on January 1, 2026 (first half of the year), can I book all 4 nights for next year's trip and get the $500 credit?
Or do I have to stay between June-December 2025 for the second half of 2025 credit and January-June 2026 for the first half of 2026 credit to get the $500 credit?
Thanks for the good summary.
I got lucky (?) and got billed for my second year of sari before they revamped it.
I was originally going to keep it as a lifetime card, but the annual fee has gone up so much that I'm not sure I'll keep it next year.
There's also the P2 AU card, but that's a lot more expensive.
You're right. If you're a good steward of your benefits, the annual fee is worth it, but if you're not, I think most people will find it hard to hold on to it for the long haul.
P2 has a sari and I have a sharp, but I've been applying for a sharp down, applying for a sari, and looking for various benefits every month... (I've already made a dense benefits table with the front and back for other cards such as Amex cards, and I'm writing it on the refrigerator while erasing it...) I'm hesitating a lot. As a wearer, it's hard to turn away from these sign-up bonuses, and it's hard to apply for them... How long will this sign-up bonus be maintained? I need to think about it.
Thanks for the neat organization, Mamo~!
The sign-up bonus makes the first year worth it, but I think you'll have to keep an eye on your travel and spending patterns to see if you want to keep it long term.
"It used to be $450 a year."
This is the old Annual Fee, and then it went up to $550, and now it's $795.
When you compare the signup bonus up to 100,000, I think you mean the increase in various credits from $450 in the past and $795 now. The increase from $550 to $795 is not points,
Ah, right, my mistake, I've updated the text. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks, just wanted to let you know ^^.
You can delete my comment now. I can't delete it~.
I got the sari bonus in 2016, but this time I got a smconfirmation that it was newly opened and I will get the bonus after spanning! I wonder if it will be reopened after 7 years or so like Amex?
Congratulations, did you not get a popup when you opened it? I'm in a similar situation and I'm excited lol.
Oh, thanks for the great story. That would be great.
When did you close Sari by any chance? I opened it in 2016 and still have it, but I'm not sure if I should downgrade and give it a shot.
Ooh I've never had a siri and only have a sap so this is a great offer and I had a lot of questions but thanks for the neat summary Mamo!!! I applied for a downgrade today for my sharp card which is in it's 4th year. Will I have to wait about 1-2 weeks before I can apply for a siri?
In the past, that would have been enough, but this is a new situation, so I guess you're doing it at your own risk ;);
hello. How many days do you usually wait to open a reserve card after a sharp downgrade?
I used to say that 4-5 days was enough, but now I think it should be at least 2-3 weeks (again, this is not definitive).
I went to Chase's official website and saw that one of the benefits is IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status!
That's right. You have IHG Platinum status, which doesn't have a lot of perks (drink coupons + 2pm late checkout), so I didn't mention it in the text.
Thank you for your neat theorizing and explanation, I'm stuck on something.
All the cards are getting more and more couponized, which is a real problem ;);
The Edit by Chase Travel is $250 for the first half of the year and $250 for the second half of the year.
If I stay at a hotel on June 30 and July 1, will it be considered the second half of the first half and deducted $500 each...?
Wow genius idea!! Wouldn't that require checking out 6/30 and checking back in 7/1?
In the terms, it says "Qualifying purchases are when you or an authorized user of the account use the card for pre-paid "Pay Now" stays of 2 nights or more".
So my understanding is that it's based on the hotel booking date, not the actual stay, so it wouldn't make sense to book over 6/30, 7/1.
In Korea, The edit hotel does not exist, will it be Shilla Hotel?
When I did a search for existing Sari members, I found not only the Shilla Hotel, but also the Four Seasons and Mondrian Hotel in Itaewon. Of course, it would be interesting to see if this list is always the same or if it depends on specific dates.
Is there any way to search the edit hotel list if I'm not a Sari holder?
I went in through my Sharp card and didn't see The edit option at all. I'm sure English-speaking bloggers will compile a list soon, but the best way to be sure is to check it yourself as the list changes often.
Will UR point x1.5 remain the same?
No, there is a change, and according to shilph on the message board, points earned by October 26, 2025 will be guaranteed to be redeemed for 1.5 cents until October 25, 2027, two years later.
For more information, see this article.
https://www.milemoa.com/bbs/board/11781078
I currently have a reserve card. $75000 Can I start running it now? Or do I have to run from the date the annual fee goes up?
Most of the offers will be available to existing members after 10/26 this year, so I'm guessing this $75,000 offer is based on that date as well. You'll have to contact Chase to find out for sure.
Does the once-in-a-lifetime rule apply to Sharp cards? lol
I would say yes, probably. However, given that there is an example of someone who made a sari in 2016 and was approved again, I think it's possible that the "lifetime" is not really a lifetime, but more like 7-8 years.
I've had my Safecard for about 7 months, but I can't downgrade because I already have a balance, what should I do?
Can I get a bonus offer if I apply for a Sari card after canceling my Safecard?
1. We recommend that you keep your new card for at least one year.
2. according to the terms, I think you should be able to, but do it at your own risk.
hello. I've never created a personal Shari card before, I was issued a Sharp last year but after reading this I'm thinking of downgrading to Freedom. Can you please confirm if it's okay to apply for a new Shari in this case? Your response would be greatly appreciated.
The terms say it's possible, but given the collection of cases, I'm afraid I'm going to have to answer at your own risk. Good luck.
I have a question about StubHub credits, if I create a new card, will I get credit if I spend it now in 1Q25? Does the activation requirement mean I can just activate the card?
1. the terms say "One-time activation required on chase.comOpens in new window or the Chase Mobile® app".
I'm guessing it's something like signing up for an Amex offer, where you pre-register and then use the card on the Stubhub site.
2. since today is already 6/28, it seems a bit early to get the first half credit.
I called and found out how to activate it, so I went to the chase app, pressed down and right more, pressed explore benefit, and went to where I could redeem it!
Oh, right, thanks for letting us know.
Will the sign up $500 chase travel credit that I get for this event be used differently than the edit credit that I get in 6 months? I booked somewhere for 2 nights for about $600 and I'm worried that the 6 month edit credit of $250 and the sign up $350 (I understood that the unused part of $500 will just fly) will be deducted.
That's an important question and I'm not sure exactly how this works ;);
However, the $500 promotional credit is part of the signup bonus, so you'll need to reach $5,000 to get it, so it's probably best to book The edit before you reach $5,000.
What a great way to do it~!
2 years with Sharp, never had Shari
I'm not sure if it's just me, or if it's the fact that I've been using it for a long time, but it's been a long time since I've been able to use it. pop-ups not...
Today I checked my application status and there were two applications...The agent said if you don't want to get the bonus, you can apply for a new one. I said I want the bonus, but they said I can't get the Sharp bonus, so I got the Sharp/Shari Eni Sapphire card once, but I can't get the bonus..ㅠㅠ
And when I checked the message in the evening, it said it was not approved because it was a duplicate application.
Is it possible to do a recall in this case?? Or can I get a bonus if I reapply it again???
I'd recommend trying to recon, but to be sure, you might want to wait a month or so before applying for a new one.
I was issued the personal sapphire preferred and will be closing it out altogether soon, so I'm assuming there's no problem getting the business chariot? I'm wondering if the personal and business are linked, and if you have any predictions on how many months that 200k bonus offer will last?
1. I understand that personal and business cards are not related to each other.
2. We don't know when the offer will end, but we're cautiously predicting at least a month. We'll update this post as soon as we hear anything new.
I had CSP for more than 48 months, but now when I look at DP, if you have CSP, you will be denied inly or SUB, so I downloaded it to Flex on Monday, but I still see a canned CSP in the app. I'll just play it safe and wait until the end of July to try for CSR SUB.
한 달정도 묵어야 될라나요 에혀
I thought about it and wondered if it might have been because I made an Explorer card in May and it took less than 3 months...
That's a lot of work ;;
I got sari bonus in 2016 and closed it, sharp opened and got bonus and closed it after using it for a few years.
I opened this shari and got the card after approval. I can't post on the board so I'm leaving it here.
I'd appreciate it if you could put me on your list.
Congratulations on your approval and thank you for sharing this important data point. Don't forget to claim your bonus.

Question.
I have 100,000 points and $500 in chase travel promo credit and another $300 annual travel credit, are they the same thing? I'm not sure if you mean $500 when it's $300 a month.
They're different, and you'll receive both. The $300 is what you already have and receive every year (based on your membership year). The $500 is what you'll receive as part of the sign-up bonus during this promotion, which you'll receive once you meet your spend.
I downgraded my sap card today, all other conditions are met.
When should I apply for Sarikad?
We recommend waiting 2-3 weeks.
This is a great offer, I'm tempted... I've never owned a Saricad and currently only have a Sap.
Can I apply for a Sari Business Card while having a Saff? I'm a little confused because you said in the comments of another article that the Sari Business Card doesn't have many restrictions ^^.
Yes. It's only an issue between personal cards. I believe the Sari Business Card can be applied for regardless of personal cards like Sharp/Sari.
Shouldn't there be a Sapphire no annual fee card? To get signed up. I'll have to apply after I close, right?
That's how I understand it.
It's been almost 4 years since I got the Sharp bonus (in October), but should I cancel it and wait until October to fill the 4 years...? I've never gotten the Sari, and the Sharp downgrade is because I have an old Freedom card (old so I want to keep it).... I've never opened the Unleash, so I'm not sure if I want to downgrade it to the Unleash for a good bonus...
The four-year rule is said to be gone this time. It's sari, it's sharp, and now "once in a lifetime" is the default. lol
Instead, if you've never gotten a sari before, you'll get a sari bonus, so I'd recommend downgrading to Sharp and trying a sari.
Since Freedom is stackable, I think you should be able to go down with the same Freedom card.
hello.
Thanks for sharing the details.
I have less than a year of credit history.
Also, I'm on 4/24, I got Bonvoy Boundless about a month ago, my first statement will be next week at the latest, and I've already hit the $5000 spend.
I opened a Chase Checking and Savings Account in April, linked Jinsung DD, and put some money in the Chase account.
I'm not sure if I can use your affiliate link to get approved or if I should ditch this offer because it's too early, so I'm looking for advice.
How much of the Boundless card did you get? I'm not sure when this offer will end, but it might be an option to wait a bit and apply just before it ends.
I have a big purchase coming up and it's a great opportunity, but I'm stuck on 5/24. I assume the 5/24 rule applies to both business and personal cards?
And please change my email address to gmail and add me to your list.
That's what we know.

Hi Mamo, could you please add me to the list of members? Thank you.
Added.
I've been wondering how to sign up for a few years now, where do I go to get on the list. I'd love to be on it.
We'll email you when you're ready to sign up.
Thanks for the great article. I've been reading through all the replies and got some hints, but I'm having a hard time getting a definitive answer, so I have a question. If I already have an existing saricad, the annual fee will automatically go up on my next renewal, right?
Yes. I'm assuming that's the case.
Hello, Mamo.
Registration is always open, but we're waiting.
We'd love to have you on our signup list.
Added your email to the notification list.
I have a shari card and will be charged the annual fee in December I don't think I'll use it well, so if I request to downgrade after the membership is charged, will I get a refund?
I read that if you request it before 30 days, it will be refunded, but is that true?
If you use the benefits even a little bit, will they give you a $250 credit or something... and then not give you a refund?
AnswerMii Thank you Yayom!
My understanding is that if you cancel the card within 30 days of the annual fee being posted, you get a full refund. As for credit usage, I don't know of any recent examples ;;
I applied for the SariCard a few days before the new offer came out and am using it as a mermaid.
After the new offer, I tried to request a bonus match just in case, but it was denied ;;
I guess it's a good thing I'll be able to take advantage of the benefits that will be added at the end of October
Thank you for adding me to your list of members.
Chase is being a bit picky about matching these days.
Added to the notification list.
I'd love a notification list too, please.
We're waiting with bated breath.
We apologize for the delay in responding. We've added you to our notification list.
If I'm using the sari now and my husband used it and closed it, would it be beneficial for him to open the sari this time and transfer all my points to him and then close my card? Will I lose the 1.5 point redemption guarantee if I transfer to my husband?
1. Given the annual fee, it may not make financial sense for both of you to have a card.
2. for existing members, points earned through 10/26 this year are guaranteed to be worth 1.5 points until 10/26/2027. However, this only seems to apply if you keep the card, not if you combine it with your spouse's account.
Points earned prior to October 26, 2025, by Sapphire Reserve cardmembers who applied prior to June 23, 2025, can be redeemed at 1.5x on Chase Travel until October 26, 2027. For points earned prior to October 26, 2025, cardmembers will automatically receive the best offer available, whether it's Points Boost or 1.5x on Chase Travel, maximizing rewards value for two years.
I'm currently at 5/24, opened the Sari in 2016 (don't have it now), opened the Sharp in April 2021 and have owned it ever since. I have about 70k chase UR left and would like to try the Sari again (based on the reviews I received on 5/24), but if I downgrade the Sharp with 70k left, will I lose the points? Or will I be left with points that I can cash out? Would it be better to transfer the 70k points to a hotel or airline?
Downgrading means you're downgrading to Freedom, right? In that case, you'll keep your points.
However, the concern is that you've had a Sari card before, and while you may be approved, it's worth remembering that it's basically a "once in a lifetime" deal.
In my case, I had the sari as an upload, so I never received the bonus, but I wonder if it will pop up when I create a sari.
Oh, yeah, if you do go ahead with it, I'd appreciate an update afterward.
I don't see an end date for the promotion, is it usually announced later?
It's common for rumors to spread through English-speaking blogs, and we'll update this post as soon as we have a date.
I've been getting a lot of 1.5 benefits on my personal saricard because I accumulate a lot of points from Business Ink every year, but now I can't get 1.5 benefits from Business Ink anymore? If I can't get 1.5 benefits on sari, can I transfer to sapph and still get 1.25?
For existing Sari members, points earned through 10/26 this year are guaranteed 1.5 points for Chase Travel redemptions through 10/25/2027. I'm not sure if this also applies to combining with ink etc though ;);
The same is true for Sapphire 1.25, where existing members can earn points through 10/26 this year that are guaranteed to be worth 1.25 cents on Chase Travel through 10/25/2027.
Hello, I've been using the information you post since I came to the U.S. last year.
I was lamenting the fact that I missed out on the 100,000 Sharp points last time, so I applied for the card after seeing the Shari info you posted and am enjoying it.
However, there are a few questions I wanted to ask you just in case.
1. for the spanning offer, it says it pops up but it doesn't, and when I look it up in the app, it doesn't show up either. do I need to contact my bank to see if this is an offer?
2. How does the Chase Travel offer of $300 apply? For example, if I pay for a plane ticket for $500, does the $300 come out as a discounted $200 or does it show as $500 and then apply as $200 when billed?
And we'd appreciate it if you could add us to your signup list
Both are resolved.
1. is only visible in the app when swiping down
2. it didn't take effect right away, but after 2-3 days
Glad to hear it worked out for you.
1. to be sure, you may want to send a secure message to Chase.
2. for the $300 travel annual credit, you don't have to buy it from chase travel, just buy a $500 ticket on the airline's site, charge $500, and the $300 will come back to you as a statement credit.
3. added.
Is that $500 promo credit a coupon or something?
Or is it just a pay chase travel, get reimbursed structure?
In one of the replies above, Mamo said that the $500 is given when the spandex is full, so I'm very curious about the benefits.
There are different views on this, but I haven't seen a definitive answer yet. If anyone knows, I'd be grateful for examples.
I know that once it's filled, you get an email saying you've been issued a travel credit (?) and then it shows up on the Chase travel portal. I wish it was a statement credit that you get back when you pay. I guess you could say it's a coupon of sorts that can only be used on the travel portal!
Okay, thanks for the info!
You have an existing saff, you don't have a sari.
I'm currently stuck in the 48 month sap and can't make it, but if it's changed to 1 lifetime, will I be rewarded because it overrides the existing 48 month rule?
Yes. That's my understanding.
I guess it's very largely YMMV. I saw a DP who got the sap bonus in May 2023, got the sap bonus this year, got the sap bonus in Jan 2023, downgraded in Dec 2023, and got the ex-bonus inly & "Want a card without bonus?" page :'/
That's right ;;
2016 Sari 10k received and 2020 Sharp 8k received and currently holding. I applied for Sari at the end of June and it was instantly rejected(?) so I thought it was not working but today I got a mail at home saying it was rejected??? So I closed my current sapph and will try to apply for sari next week or so!! I don't think I have a case for anyone who received the mail, so I'm leaving a comment. I'd like to ask you to put me on the list.
Good luck.

Sad news.
I reapplied it and got the popup.
Signup bonus not available...ㅠ

2016 Received 100,000 Sari
2020 Sari Close
2020 Received only 80,000 Saf
Sari Greatest Offer Rejected Appliance Again

Anyone recently downgraded an existing sapph and got a good siri bonus?
Hi, I would appreciate it if you could add me to the list.
I guess it comes down to approval.

I'm looking hard right now, and I'm pretty sure I've been using Sharp for over 48 months and downgraded to
I applied for Shari a few days later and they said no because I have too many credits.
I've had a total of 8 credit cards in 8 years and I don't understand why it says I have too much credit.
The 48-month threshold went away with this new card, and I understand that the high credit is also a message that Chase gives you if your credit line is too high.
I think you could try calling the Chase reconsideration line and ask for approval, perhaps by pulling the limit from an existing Chase card.
Please add me to the list, thank you.

I received the 2014 Shari bonus and have been using Shari as my primary ever since. I downgraded my Shari to Freedom on the morning of July 22, thanks to Mamo's as always friendly, detailed, and pin-pointed guidance. I was honest with my rep about the reason for the downgrade (to get the bonus) and he told me to apply for Shari two days later. So, I applied on the afternoon of July 24. I was worried about the pop-up jail, but it went through without a hitch. I received the approval email around 9am on July 25. Here's my experience.
Congratulations on the approval and thanks for sharing your story in detail.
I called last week to downgrade from the sharp to the freedom and I told them I was trying to get the bonus with the sharp and the rep said there is nothing set in stone but they usually pull my credit report on the 23rd of the month and if I don't have the sapphire card at that time, I might get the bonus? So I'm wondering if I should wait until the 23rd?
This is the first I've heard of this. I'm sure there are individual differences, but my understanding is that you usually have to wait 3-4 days.
I tried to apply with my link 2 weeks after downgrading, but it popped up saying I couldn't get the bonus, so I might not get it even though it's coming up soon.
Oh, right, I see. I think everyone is frustrated because they can't figure out under what conditions the popup appears.
hello. I opened the skypass uscard and sharp card through Milemoa this year and am using them well. I'm thinking of opening one in my husband's name because Chase-Hyatt points are the most valuable. I was waiting to sign up, but please add it to the list!

Hello, Mamo.
I was wondering the same thing. I downgraded to a sapphire last month after 48 months of sharp and got a sapphire. Will I never get the sharp/shari bonus again?
Registration is always open, but we're waiting.
We'd love to have you on our signup list.
1. switch to Freedom. If you've never gotten the Sari card bonus, you might want to try it.
2. Added a notification list.
Mermaided with a link to a milkmoth!
Thank you
Congrats on the mermaid and thanks for the link.
Got the Sari 100k bonus in 2016 and downgraded to Freedom Unlimited a year or two later,
Sharp 80k bonus in 2020 and downgraded to 2021,
I applied for a sari last Saturday evening and received an email over the weekend that I was approved on Monday morning.
아 다시보니 샤프는 2021년에 보너스 받나서 2022년에 다운그레이드네요 ㅎㅎ
Congratulations on your approval!
Thanks for the information. I'm in the queue to apply for the Sapphire Reserve as well.

I'm going to follow your advice from last time and not apply.
On a separate note, I was wondering if you could add me to your signup list.
You've commented from two different emails, so we'll only register this one.
I already have a Legerbrand and a Sapphire, so it doesn't matter, but....마모님 I've been wanting to join for a few years now, so I've been coming back often. I would be grateful if you could add me to your list ^^.

I would also appreciate it if you could post a list of members. I monitor it quite often, but I'm often disappointed that I can't even comment on the board. ㅠㅠ
For reference, my DP is... I downloaded the Sharp I had for about a year as a sister and applied for a sari a few days later, but it popped up, and I applied again a few days later, so I'm in trouble. ㅠㅠ I'm upset. ㅠㅠㅠ

*I clicked Apply to my current Sapphire situation and a popup appeared.
1. downsize any Sapphires you have to Freedom
2. 3 to 4 days later, go back to the Sari Appliance
3. If I don't get approved for Sari, is it possible to upgrade from a downed Freedom to Sapphire?
Before downgrading to Freedom, I was wondering what if I can't transfer my UR points to my travel partner?
Oh, I'm not sure about that, I think it's possible, but I haven't tried it myself, so I can't say definitively that it works or doesn't work, sorry.
I opened the sari in 2016 and used it well throughout the year, and my anniversary is renewing on 10/1/25 at $550, but the new benefit starts on 10/26/25. But I booked The Edit hotel on Chase Travel for 10/26/10 for check-in and 10/29/10 for check-out, and that's the one hotel I originally booked to use the sari $100 hotel credit, so can I still get the $250 credit? I prefunded the entire reservation and it's refundable.
And my sari is closing for the last time this year, and I'm wondering if I should refer my husband tomorrow to get it, because then I'll get the welcome offer, but all the other benefits will be stacked and it'll be a waste since we travel a lot.
Mamo, please add me to the list of members. Many thanks.
1. for The Edit credit, it's my understanding that you have to prepaid for the reservation and therefore the offer applies at the time of booking. So I guess it's not applicable to pre-booked reservations, or you have to make a new reservation after 10/26.
2. added your email to the notification list.

Hi MileMom, I just opened the Sari and received a $500 credit + 100,000 points for spending. One question I have is that if I book a 2-night hotel through The Edits, it will cost about $1,000, so with the $500 credit from the promotion and the $250 from the Sari card ($250 first half + $250 second half), will I end up paying only $250? Also, will the $300 travel credit be used for this, but I haven't made the payment yet! If you know anything about this, please comment.
Mamo, and I'd love to be added to the list for signup notifications 🙂 Thank you as always! I've been using your information for 10 years in the US and have been traveling well since I was a poor student lol.
1. the $500 credit can be checked for redemption like a coupon. For the $250, it seems that it is automatically applied when the payment is made in cash over $250 instead of points. Looking at the example you gave, it is a cash payment of $1,000 - $500 = $500. Perhaps the $300 travel credit will be applied automatically afterwards. I think it's great to be able to use the credit early, so why would you hesitate to use it?
2. added.
I was waiting to make a sari and use the 1.5 points I've accumulated over my lifetime with sapphire ㅠㅠ I've never made a sari and have had sapphire for 10 years, but on 4/17 this year, I downgraded to freedom and reapplied and got the sapphire bonus. If I downgraded to sapphire freedom now and apply for sari, can I get the 125k bonus and use the 1.5 points I've accumulated?
1. you need to hold the card for at least 1 year to downgrade it, so I understand you can't downgrade it now.
2. Furthermore, it is unclear if the sari application will be approved, and I understand that redeeming existing points for 1.5 is only available to existing sari cardholders.
For now, it's probably a good idea to keep things the way they are.
I don't see this offer when I go to the link now, so it's over, right?
It changed to 125,000 and the offer is still alive. See the BankRate page that jumped over.
Hi I'm a worker who is getting a lot of help from this site Thank you
I just signed up for Sari (I am the main, spouse authorized user)
I was wondering if I and my spouse would be eligible for the sari benefits such as $300 travel, $300 dining, and $500 Edit benefits separately?
Signing up to receive DoorDash benefits
It clearly states that you and your authorized user are eligible for a one-year membership, which is why I'm reaching out to you
We know them as totals that add up, not individually.
Hi, does the new offer for 125,000 also come with the Chase Travel $500 redeemable credit?
No, you're getting an additional 25,000 points instead of a one-time $500 credit, for a total signup bonus of 125,000 points.
(a great deal for high spenders), I can only choose 1 of the 4 subcategories?
My understanding is that you get all four, because it says benefits plural in the terms and conditions, and all four are described.
"You, as the primary cardmember, will get access to the benefits described below after spending $75,000 in purchases on your Sapphire Reserve or JPMorgan Reserve card each calendar year."
