SMOKING HOT!!! Signup For The Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, Spend $3K In 3 Months, And Get 50,000 Points! Good For 50,000 Continental Miles, British Airways Miles, Hyatt Points, A Ticket Worth Up To $625, Or A $500 Account Credit Or Gift Card!!
Chase Sapphire Preferred 50K Signup Bonus Linky
Need To Meet A Spending Threshold Deadline? Get Waived Fees On AMEX Gift Cards!
You get 50,000 points after spending $3,000 on the Chase Sapphire Preferred card! (Actually you’ll have over 53,000 points with the 3K points for spending and the 7% annual bonus on spending)
There is no annual fee for this card for the first year, but it’s $95 after the first year. Chase allows you to downgrade to the “non-preferred” version of the Sapphire card which has no annual fee. However be sure to transfer your points into miles before downgrading as the “non-preferred” version does not allow transfers into miles!
There is no foreign exchange or foreign transaction fee on when you use this card overseas!
You also get a 7% bonus on spending every year, so you actually get 1.07 miles per dollar spent on this card, which is very good if you want Continental miles. You get this 7% bonus at the end of the year, regardless of whether you have already redeemed the points.
Chase Sapphire points convert into BA miles, Continental miles, or Hyatt points at a 1:1 ratio and they transfer over instantly whenever you want. You can also transfer your Continental miles into United miles. Continental and United do not charge fuel surcharges on award redemptions like British Airways does.
You can transfer the points to anyone’s mileage or hotel account-it does not need to be in your name!
50,000 points is enough points for 2 US48/Canada airline tickets on American via BA miles (OneWorld partners) or on Air Canada, Continental, United, or USAirways via Continental miles (Star Alliance partners). It’s more than enough points for 2-5 nights at any Hyatt in the world (Hyatt nights with no blackout dates or capacity controls go from 5,000 to 22,000 points per night) including Park Hyatt properties that can go for $1,000 a night!
Or save up for a bigger trip. Here are the current Continental rates for other destinations from the US:
-Hawaii: 40,000 coach, 80,000 business/businessfirst
-Europe: 60,000 coach, 100,000 business/businessfirst
-Asia: 65,000 coach, 120,000 business/businessfirst
-Israel: 80,000 coach, 120,000 business/businessfirst
-Australia: 80,000 coach, 135,000 business/businessfirst
-Round-the-world: 180,000 coach, 260,000 business/businessfirst
You can also use the points to book paid tickets directly from the airline through the Chase airfare tool. With 50,000 points you can book a ticket worth up to $625 and you’ll even earn miles on the ticket. Personally I’d still go for the highly valued Continental miles, but if a domestic redemption is what you’re looking for it’s not a bad usage.
Or you can always just use the 50,000 points for a $500 gift card or a $500 account credit for spending on whatever you would like!
Points can also transfer to Amtrak, Priority Club, or Marriott, but those transfer options are less lucrative than the others.
If you have a Chase Freedom card, a Chase Checking account, and a Sapphire Preferred account you can earn 10 points for every transaction (even for transaction of just a penny!) made on the Freedom card and up to 5 points per dollar by spending in rotating categories on the Freedom card. You can then transfer those points to your Sapphire Preferred card and change then into valuable miles from BA, Continental, or Hyatt points at a 1 point:1 mile ratio!
The Chase Sapphire Card also offers return protection of up to $500 per item. If you buy something you don’t like you can just return it to Chase within 3 months of the purchase and get a full refund! I wanted to return a $340 item a few months after I bought it and got a refund check in the mail within 2 weeks of returning the item to Chase! There are also a number of items that you can’t return with the Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express that you can return with the Chase Sapphire (and vice versa). You can read about them in this post.
Whenever you call Chase Sapphire customer service a real live US-based human being always answers the phone immediately without going through any touch-tone systems or having to push “0″ repeatedly. If only all companies offered this!

@Yitzi:
I’m not sure, but it is a limited time offer.

If you want to apply for multiple cards at the same time (and for more info why this is a good idea) see this DDF thread: http://www.dansdeals.com/forums/index.php?topic=8028
In case guys have problems here are some useful Chase contacts:
Chase: 800-432-3117 (Application status)
Chase: 888-270-2127 (Application reconsideration)

If you have a Chase checking account you can also ask a banker in a branch to send in a reconsideration request form if you are rejected for a Chase credit card.

May 13th, 2011 at 5:52 pm
Is it for first time card holders only ?
5
May 13th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
oy i just applied for the ba chase card, together with my existing chase freedom card would a third card be too many for chase to allow?
6
May 13th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
Great offer but was expecting a little better with all the chatter
7
May 13th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
Is there a business version of this offer?
8
May 13th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
@Jason:
Unknown at this point.
@chaim yankel:
I have 6 active Chase cards and will likely try for 7!
Their reconsideration department is very good.
@Shlomo:
It’s a great card between the waived annual fee for the first year, the flexibility of the points, the 0% foreign fee, the instant live operators…
And 50K points for free is still nothing to sneeze at!
9
May 13th, 2011 at 6:21 pm
Can you transfer the points from this card to anyone’s Continental account or does it have to be your own? Do the names have to match?
10
May 13th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
the $500 refund thing.. i can do it as many times as i want? or just once a year
11
May 13th, 2011 at 6:24 pm
also 1 more thing… can i paypal myself $3000? and this way is as if i spent 3 grand
12
May 13th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
@sara:
You can transfer to anyone’s Continental account.
@albert:
$1,000 per year maximum.
@albert:
Not a good idea to paypal yourself $3,000. Paypal isn’t going to like that as they consider that to be a cash advance.
13
May 13th, 2011 at 6:30 pm
so its a cash advance regardless of who i send the money to? myself or a friend
14
May 13th, 2011 at 6:33 pm
@albert:
You can send $3,000 to a friend and have him just give you the cash.
You can also use Amazon payments or AMEX Serve where you can send money to friends and they don’t charge any credit card processing fees!
15
May 13th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
so then why dont i sent my friend 10,000 a month and he will just give it back to me.. and this way il rack up serious amounts of miles and points
16
May 13th, 2011 at 6:39 pm
@albert:
Both AMEX Serve and Amazon payments have limits of how much you can do for free each month.
17
May 13th, 2011 at 6:40 pm
oh i got it… and how much is that limit per a month? and does paypal also have a limit?
18
May 13th, 2011 at 6:43 pm
@albert:
This is getting off-topic.
I invite to come on over to http://www.dansdeals.com/forums to discuss it further.

May 13th, 2011 at 7:23 pm
Hi dan,
I got a denial letter from chase stating “too many requests for credit or opened accts with us”
So Dan what should I tell the reconsideration dept.?
20
May 13th, 2011 at 7:28 pm
@moishe:
I usually ask them to close an older account in order to approve a new account and move the credit from the older account to the new account.
21
May 13th, 2011 at 10:44 pm
In the early part of the discussion of CO vs UA reward travel you mention:
“-Continental has always allowed you to have a free stopover and an open-jaw”
I am pretty sure this is not true for domestic redemptions. A stopover costs you 35,000 in coach, instead of the usual 25,000, even if saver inventory is available.
I just booked one to test and used Houston as the stopover point since it is absolutely on the published routing for the trip and got the 35k price.
I also tried the open jaw, and was successful with that for no additional cost.
So clarify if you have new information.
Thanks
22
May 14th, 2011 at 12:20 pm
Can I do a balance transfer for 3k to pay off another card and would that be considered spending 3,000 miles on the card in order to get the 50k continental points???
23
May 14th, 2011 at 2:41 pm
not so hot, you gotta spend 3k?
24
May 14th, 2011 at 2:57 pm
if i want to apply for the 50k chase one pass and the 50k sapphire what should i do? is there anyway to make it only one hard hit on my report? will chase give me issues with multiple apps? thanks
25
May 14th, 2011 at 5:09 pm
dan, ur a rock star! if i want to open this cc just for for the short term benifits( the miles) and then i would cancel the account, how does that effect my credit, meaning the opening and closing of the account? also, if it does effect my credit, is it better if i keep the account open. and does it make a diff for my creidt how quickly i close the account. ive wanting to get clarity on this topic for a while. thanks alot dan.
26
May 14th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
I have a high credit score but not many cards or credit and chase denied me saying that I don’t have enough history. Do you think calling the reconsideration department will help? I’d take a lower line to get this. What do you think? Txs!
27
May 14th, 2011 at 9:47 pm
I applied for the sapphire card a year and a half ago and was rejected because I didn’t have enough credit. I then got the chase freedom card, and spent around $50,000 on it in the last year and half, without missing a payment. Do you think I would now be able to get approved for the sapphire? I don’t want to be rejected again.
28
May 14th, 2011 at 10:02 pm
i just got my BRITISH airways card you guys had posted a few weeks ago with what seems like the same deal should i activate it or ask for SAPPHIRE deal instead
29
May 14th, 2011 at 10:46 pm
How bad does it affect the credit score to open & close credit cards often?
30
May 14th, 2011 at 11:07 pm
@ljderm:
I should have been more clear.
Continental allows a free stopover on all awards except for the US48/Canada 25K award.
@jeff:
I don’t think that counts.
@zalmy:
It’s really not so hard to spend $3,000.
Between mint coins, amex gift cards, amazon payments, amex serve, and many more ways as talked about on http://www.dansdeals.com/forums you should be able to do that in no time.
@charles:
I applied for and got approved for 3 Chase cards a couple weeks ago with some help from the Chase reconsideration departments.
I only got 1 credit hit.
Just use different web browsers (Like IE, Firefox, and Chrome) and hit submit on one after the other.
Other Chase cards include:
Hyatt
United
Southwest
Continental
@yak:
I usually don’t cancel an account outright.
I’ll keep it and then apply for a new card and have them move over the credit line from the old card to get another new one approved.
I’ve cancelled hundreds of cards over the years though and still have a credit score in the high-700s.
@Ed:
Sure, definitely call them!
@bob:
I’m sure you can get approved now. Even if they do reject you be sure to call reconsideration and see what they can do-they work miracles!
@yomo:
You can do both!
@sp:
I do it all the time and still have a top-notch score!
31
May 14th, 2011 at 11:19 pm
if you take hyatt points can you then transfer to miles.. is it worth it, or only from starwoods?
32
May 14th, 2011 at 11:27 pm
@ummm:
Which miles are you looking for? Does BA or Continental not work for you?
The only hotel points that are really worth transferring to miles are Starwood Starpoints.
You’ll lose too much in the Hyatt transfer.
33
May 15th, 2011 at 12:00 am
If I make a British Airways reservation with miles, do they charge to change things like dates, times, departure/arrival cities, etc…?
I know some airlines do, but is BA one of them?
34
May 15th, 2011 at 12:36 am
How do u track all ur cards/points….do you have some sort of spread sheet..

DAN, DOES CHASE STILL ALLOW YOU TO APPLY FOR 2 CARDS USING ONLY 1 CREDIT PULL?
37
May 15th, 2011 at 1:28 am
i just got my BA card, should i wait to apply for a new chase card? if ye how long?
38
May 15th, 2011 at 3:40 am
i received my wifes BA chase card with me being a second card holder being that im canadian and dont have a social do i still get 50k for each card when i spend the 1st dollar with each or does i count as one account with 2 cards
39
May 15th, 2011 at 3:43 am
Can I ask chase to spit credit from my existing chase cards to go to this card.think at this point they won’t offer me new credit
40
May 15th, 2011 at 9:56 am
Dan, I dont plan on using the points for flights. Is there a company that you recommend that buys 50k points?
41
May 15th, 2011 at 11:03 am
Dan,
I already have the chase Saphire (not preffered) version.
Anyway to convert it to the preffered version?
Or do I need to apply again and close(or combine) the other account?
42
May 15th, 2011 at 11:09 am
A little off topic, I recently got the chase presidential plus card. 1 of the benefits is platinum level at Hyatt. Is it worth anything?
43
May 15th, 2011 at 11:53 am
for some reason I cant seem to find a way to add the saphhire to awardwallet please help!
Thanks
44
May 15th, 2011 at 12:03 pm
Thanx dan! Just 2 questions: 1, if i write that im a student will it ruin my chances of getting approved? And does the gross household income have to be accurate? Do they have any way of checking?
2, can i buy coins from the mint to spend 3k and then deposit it in my account to pay the cc bill?
45
May 15th, 2011 at 12:43 pm
If I applied for the BA card a month ago- will chase need to pull my credit again?
Also- if I want to transfer my chase credit from another Chase account to this new card- do they have access to all the cards on their computer?
46
May 15th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Hi Dan,
I have the feedom cc and the BA, i called them to close the freedom one and transfer the credit to the BA cc and they say that the cant do that, i asked why and she said, you cant, period! do you have any idea why i cant ? and how should i do to be able to do that? cuz the freedom it doesnt really give me anything.
Thanks
47
May 15th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
I applied for the BA card with perfect credit, and they denied me, saying that I got 3 chase cards in 8 months. Is there anything to do about it, and will they also deny me if I apply for the Sapphire?
48
May 15th, 2011 at 5:56 pm
I have a chase saphire card for about 10 months besides for a chase freedom card that I have for a few years, can I still get this offer? And would I be able to downgrade it before the 2nd year?
49
May 15th, 2011 at 7:52 pm
i have a ba card with 100k miles, if i get this card is there anyway to transfer all the miles to a continental card?
50
May 15th, 2011 at 8:04 pm
@MIKE:
I got approved for 3 chase cards with 1 credit pull 2 weeks ago.
@eli:
Probably 30 days between apps.
@Shlomo:
Apply and then call reconsideration.
@Chaim:
There’s a banner on the top of the site to sell miles!
@steve:
You’ll need to apply again to get this bonus.
@yitz:
Sure, check out http://www.dansdeals.com/forums for more discussion of off-topic questions though.
@Meir:
It goes by household income. Chase doesn’t verify it. You can buy mint coins.
@Avi:
They can transfer credit lines when you open the card. They will probably pull your credit again.
@Dovid:
The Chase Freedom card is actually great if you also have a bank account.
They give 10 points per transaction…even on one penny transaction! If you also have a Sapphire Preferred you can then transfer points to miles!
You can only transfer lines/close cards when you apply for a new card.
@Mitch:
Call the reconsideration department.
@ll:
You can try. If they deny you just call reconsideration and have them close the regular sapphire to approve the sapphire preferred.
@dov:
No, those miles can’t be transferred from BA.
51
May 16th, 2011 at 9:26 am
This is very improtant for anybody who has applied for chase saphire i recent months when they were only giving
25,000 points
this is an email i sent them yesterday
To whom it may concern;
I opened up this account on 3/28.At the time there was a promotion of receiving 25,000 after you spend $3000. I should be credited that amnount after the enxt paymeny cycle.I just have 1 request.You currently have promnotion offering 50000 miles for spending the same amount of money. I would appreciate if you would credit me the extra 25,000 miles being that i opened my account so recently.
this is response i got a few hours later
Dear Sarah Weinberg,
Thank you for your inquiry about the bonus promotional
points on your Chase Sapphire Preferred card.
As requested, I have added the 25,000 points to your
account and this adjustment has been reflected online.
I would also like to inform you that your Chase Sapphire
Preferred card will no longer be charged with foreign
transaction fee. Please note that the Foreign Transaction
Fee waiver is automatic. There’s
nothing you need to do. All account information, rewards
and annual fees will stay the same.
It was a pleasure to assist you today. I appreciate your
business and hope to have the opportunity to serve you
again in the future.
If you have any further questions, please reply using the
Secure Message Center.
Thank you,
Russell Pereira

Hi Dan,
If I previosuly had a Chase Sapphire before, and canceled a couple of years ago, would I still qualify for the 50,000 miles?
53
May 16th, 2011 at 5:53 pm
Is there a way to get the 1.07x bonus without paying an annual fee? (Just wondering how the timing works at the end/beginning of the first/second year)
Thanks
54
May 16th, 2011 at 10:19 pm
if you downgrade to non-preferred could you still get the 500 dollar credit
55
May 16th, 2011 at 10:26 pm
could i merge the ba card with this one and how would i go about doing that
56
May 16th, 2011 at 11:34 pm
@berish:
Well done!
@magnus:
Considering that you can always cancel/downgrade for at least 30 days after the annual posts the 2nd year you should not have a problem getting the 7% bonus.
@dov:
Yes.
@dov:
Apply for this card and then the card combining department can help you.
57
May 18th, 2011 at 10:24 am
Hey-
Do they charge you to move your miles to continental? and if so how much? Thanks!
58
May 18th, 2011 at 11:12 am
@Sara:
Nope (unlike AMEX which has a small charge) there is no charge at all for transferring Sapphire points to miles!
59
May 18th, 2011 at 12:40 pm
Dan, Im going abroad. Would this be the best card to use to avoid fees? Do they really charge no fees? Or do they have a bad currency exchange?
Would u advise to use this card, the amex starwood or pehaps a chase ba or contin? or capital one?
Tx
60
May 18th, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Can I apply for this credit card for my business? Do I just put the tx id in the ss# field?
61
May 18th, 2011 at 6:49 pm
Applied for this card, was denied (had opened continental card just 15 days back). Called the reconsideration department and asked them to move the credit lines and got it approved!
Thanks Dan for all the information!
62
May 19th, 2011 at 5:28 am
dan,
what is the deadline to transfer the points into continental miles? (or is there not?)
63
May 19th, 2011 at 12:13 pm
dan just got the CO 50k mile card from chase. I want to wait a while to before I open this card. How long do you think this offer will be around?
64
May 19th, 2011 at 1:02 pm
@Sam:
This card is great for abroad.
Excellent exchange rate and no fees!
@jon:
This is a consumer card.
@SG:
Congrats!
@hendel:
There is no deadline, this card will continue to transfer to Continental points even after AMEX no longer does.
@jesse:
Don’t know…sorry!
65
May 19th, 2011 at 1:53 pm
Dan,
I tried calling Chase reconsideration as they denied my app for the hyatt and BA cards (I accidentally did both apps in SAME browser – misunderstood the distinction). They said I had too many recent inquiries from various banks. The reconsideration dept. guy told me that they won’t open new card for me even if i lower/transfer credit line from other chase cards i have. I have 20k credit between united and continental cards. I stressed by perfect history/high credit score but he wouldn’t budge.
Is it worth calling them back if their reconsideration dept says no? I even got a second denial letter.
Is it even worth applying for this offer instead?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
66
May 19th, 2011 at 1:57 pm
On a side note: I just got approved for my third amex platinum though I had to call to get them to push the app through as it has only been 45 days since I cancelled the last one and thier system therefore cancelled my app.
We’ll see if I get another 50k.
67
May 19th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
I applied for the BA card over a month ago, but had to call to get it approved- and that was less than a month ago. I would like to apply for three new Chase cards. Should I wait 30 days from the application date, or 30 days from the approval date?
68
May 19th, 2011 at 8:48 pm
The reconsideration is great. I was rejected for the BA Card as well as the Sapphire card. I called Chase and got approved for both cards.
69
May 20th, 2011 at 8:58 am
The freedom card also has 5% cash back for different categories each quarter. This is sometimes worth more than points, but you have to wait 6-8 weeks to get it. For example April thru June you get 5% back on home furnishings, gardening supplies and other things. My daughter just ordered beds for over $1000. 1000 points are worth $10 but 5% back is $50 so that is pretty good.

He did say it COULD go towards my credit? Is it worth a current 786 credit score or hold off? Thanks as always!
79
May 27th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
@Chaim:
Sure, keep trying.
@dave:
They do not.
@mo:
They probably won’t see.
@MO:
Yes.
@Kevin:
Sure, have them apply your Disney credit line to the new Sapphire card.
80
May 29th, 2011 at 8:58 am
I want to thank you so very much for the gret advice that you gave with the above promotion. I too was rejected for the sapphire crdit card because I had too many cards. I had just opened a BA account, which I should not have canceled, but I did because they denied me the promotion because I had already tken advantage of such a promotion. So I called the last number that you had listed for CHASE and i asked them to transfer my credit line. she found a card that I had not used in a year and transfered my credit.

Hi Dan,
I just spoke with a senior account supervisor with Sapphire and he told me that there is no way I could get the 50,000 points if I signed up for Sapphire Preferred. I currently have a regular Sapphire card. Anyway I could be eligible for 50k points! Thanks!

When does the 3 months begin, from card activation or from approval? Or some other time?
83
June 14th, 2011 at 9:31 am
i applied for chase sapphire, united and continental in 3 browsers at the same time on sun. thanks dan.
when i called i was able to move the required min. of 5k line to the sapphire and it was approved.
they told me the united was declined b/c i already have that card… but can cancel it and then immediately apply again.
the csr said not to try for the continental today since it’s less than 30 days since i got my BA chase card and they wont give me more than 2 cards in 30 days, but if i wait till thurs it’ll be 30 days after my BA card was approved and then call to try to approve the current pending status.

Hi Dan…
I have the Chase Sapphire card from when the introduced it a few years ago (with a 25K bonus). Will I be eligible for the new card/bonus if I apply?
89
June 19th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
dan – for 2 years i have been closed out from chase i beleive for buying coins – they keep on rejecting me – any good ideas to get back onto the chase circuit?
90
June 19th, 2011 at 3:29 pm
Worked via SM!
“As per the offer on your account, you will receive 50,000
Chase Sapphire bonus points after spending $3,000.00 in
purchases within 93 days of account open date. These
points will post to your account within one to two billing
cycles.
I feel that every relationship is based on mutual trust
and support, including one between a bank and a customer.
As a gesture of commitment to you, I have added additional
50,000 points to the rewards balance on your account.
This adjustment will reflect on your next statement.
Thank you”
91
June 19th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
I just applied for my wife and got approved but was denied via phone the additional 50K points. I need to wait for the card to see if the secure message works. On another note, I personally have the sapphire card. Can I transfer the points from my wife to myself without any issues?
92
June 19th, 2011 at 3:40 pm
@Sam:
Enjoy the free travels!
@Josh:
The card should show up in your online profile within a couple days, usually before you actually get the card, so just keep checking!
People have said that you should be able to transfer points between people in the same household but I haven’t tried it myself.
93
June 19th, 2011 at 4:30 pm
Just did some basic research: Account-to-Account Points Transfers: Points transfers are not currently available. We
will notify you when you may transfer points to other Ultimate Rewards accounts. At
that time, you may transfer points to any other eligible credit card or debit card with
Ultimate Rewards. Transfers may only be used to combine points belonging to the same
individual or business in the Program; or for the purpose of enabling spouses or domestic
partners to combine points earned in their respective names. If the transferee’s or your
credit card account(s) or checking account(s), as applicable, are in default at the time of
the transfer, Chase will not make the transfer. Once points are transferred, they cannot be
credited back.
94
June 19th, 2011 at 5:30 pm
Dan do you know which department to send the sm to?
95
June 19th, 2011 at 6:31 pm

96
June 19th, 2011 at 6:33 pm
Hey Dan,
Just applied for the Chase Saphire Card. What is S6V and when do I send the message or call to try and get the additional 50,000 points – immediately after approval? Is there a better chance of them giving me the 50,000 extra points instantly without waiting for the 3 months if i call or send the secured message – what do you think? Also, how long does it take for me to check my application status for approval – what’s the fastest way to check the most updated status?
Thanks,
Chaim

@Sruly:
Absolutely you can message them.
@Chaim:
As soon as your card shows up on your Chase.com online profile you can send a secure message.

It’s unknown at this point. If anyone tries it let us know!

@YouG:
You need to apply for this card to get a new card bonus. If they deny you then you can call up to switch the credit line from another card to this card.

my letter
To whom this may concern.
I recently received the chase preferred sapphire card. When I applied I received 50 thousand points.
But i am dismayed because my friend just applied for the same card with the code S6V and received 100 thousand points.
I just left american express and came to chase and cannot believe that only some people will receive 100 thousand points.
If you can please let me know if anything can be done it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I was wondering if you could match offer S6V and add an additional 50,000 points to my account. thank you.
Dear ,
I understand that you wish to receive the 100,000 points
offer on your Chase Sapphire account ending in .
I see that as per the offer that you applied for, you are
eligible to receive 50,000 bonus points for spending
$3,000.00 in the first 93 days of the account being
opened. Although I am unable to change the offer on your
account, I have gone ahead and added the difference of
50,000 points to your account as a courtesy. This
adjustment is effective immediately.
You will still receive the initial 50,000 points on the
$3,000 in purchases made within 93 days of open date.
Please allow one to two billing cycles for the 50,000
points to post to the account, after spending criteria is
met.

116
June 20th, 2011 at 8:42 am
Dan,
Just used your 2 browser method last night to apply for this twice.
I call in today, they said since I used the same “offer” twice, they denied one, and the other is still pending
.
117
June 20th, 2011 at 9:06 am
They didn’t respond to my inquiry so I resent an email. Within an hour I had an additional 50k deposited and the 50k to match the current offer. This means I will be getting 50k after spending the 3k dollars and an additional 100k!!!
118
June 20th, 2011 at 9:27 am
Thanks so very much. I just took care of this offer last night, and magically this morning I received a similar reply that Abe ( the reply above mine) received. It really works!!!!!!!
119
June 20th, 2011 at 9:29 am
I got the same response as Abe above from the same customer service advisor and the 50,000 points have been deposited into my account already.
Thanks Dan!
120
June 20th, 2011 at 9:32 am
Dan, I wrote them last night. just got a response that they added an additional 50,000 points and I should see it on the next statement. This is awesome!!
121
June 20th, 2011 at 9:52 am
Congrats to all you guys who got the bonus 50K, well done!
Looks like everyone who has sent a secure message online has been approved for the bonus 50K so far!
@Joe P:
The 2 or 3 browser method is for applying for 2 or 3 different cards from the same bank. Not for applying for the same card twice or 3 times…
122
June 20th, 2011 at 9:58 am
Yech, shoot. Didn’t realize that. Guess I should have checked first. I thought I saw people receiving like 2-3 british airways deals….

i just asked for the extra 50k points and 10 min later they gave it to me!!!!1
124
June 20th, 2011 at 10:31 am
Now with all these Ultimate Reward points, where do we put them? Especially since many of us had errors done with account and got extra points (like me), we want to move points out sooner then later.
With Amex ending MR points for Continental in 3 months, is Continental still best value? I see as far as staying at Hyatt (w/o Hyatt Chase), we can spend 4-5 nights in Grand Hyatt anywhere with 100K points. No other card seems to be able to compete in obtaining Hyatt points so quickly.
Dan, please guide us….

130
June 20th, 2011 at 12:27 pm
Hi Dan and Everyone,
Applied for the card and got denied.. Called in Recon a few times and got approved! Thanks a mill for all the info!
I got the card and welcome this Saturday and do not see the 50k bonus points offer anywhere mentioned… Is that normal? Am I automatically enrolled in the 50k bonus miles (the initial 50k), or do I need to do something to get this bonus?
I’m asking cuz I wanna go ahead and send the SM regarding the “additional” 50k points..
Thanks in advance
131
June 20th, 2011 at 12:31 pm
@Avi:
Create an online account at Chase.com to send secure messages.
@Anshel:
Congrats! The Chase Reconsideration folks are the best in the industry for getting denials approved!
That is normal. As long as you applied from my link for the card you will be getting the 50,000 points for spending $3,000.
Now you can send an SM to them asking for another 50,000 points with the offer code in the post.
Good luck and keep us posted!
132

The card should automatically populate in your Chase online account.
If it’s not there may have to call Chase to get it put there.

June 20th, 2011 at 1:02 pm
I alternate openning accounts in my husband’s name/ss and mine. In either case I get a second card for the other.

Thanks Dan! sorry for bothering,, just a quick question..
When is best to send the Secure Message? is it before or activating the card? (its already on my online account since last week just not activated)
Thanks!
136
June 20th, 2011 at 1:12 pm
This just worked for me! They gave the 50,000 points instantly!
Thanks Dan! You’re the best!!
137
June 20th, 2011 at 1:16 pm

was it through their SM?
152

How do I send the secure message asking them to match the 100k offer? Can I simply just call and ask?
153
June 20th, 2011 at 4:36 pm
way to go Dan! I think a question that many people have is the terms seems to say that you aren’t eligible for these offers if you already have that card. How do we get around that?
Thanks
154
June 20th, 2011 at 5:02 pm
I got approved. How do I create an account with out the card? I don’t have a account Number.

hi Dan.
could u explain to me how to do the following “send a secure message from your online Chase account asking them to match offer S6V for 100,000 points”
do you just ask them to “match offer s6v” or do you have to mention something elso too? and what is offer s6v?
thanx!
156
June 20th, 2011 at 6:01 pm

When you’re signed into your Chase account just locate the secure message center on the left and send a message!
@jeff:
We won’t know until someone tries it and lets us know.

You have no other Chase accounts? You may need to wait until the card comes.
You can call Chase to get the card overnighted to you for free.

Yes, just wait until you get the card and setup your account online to send a secure message.

166
June 20th, 2011 at 10:52 pm
Dan, you said, create an online account to send an sm. Can I do this before I recieve the card? I don’t have a Chase bank account. Can I still ask for the 50,000 points just for signing on? Also, I was approved on the spot. However, they said I have to wait a few wks to get the card and they were unable to expedite or give me the account number over the phone. When I inquired about the 50,000 additional miles just for signing up with them, I was told it’s only given after I spend three thousand within ninety days. Could
you please clarify the above?
Thanks
167
June 20th, 2011 at 10:52 pm
thanks dan
I sent a message on Fri asking them to match the offer for 80,000 which they did, then yesterday i asked them to adjust it again to 100,000 and they did it again!

Thanks for the advice on the card. I just applied and was instantly approved. I tried to create an acct but did not have a current account with Chase so I took your advice and called them asking them to overnight which they are doing. I think I made a mistake though, because I asked them to match for the 100,000 and the women said that is something thats by promotion only. So will this cause me problems if I now email them? Thanks for your help.

@shoshana: no it shouldn’t as probably nothing was noted on the acct

Yippy. Just sent 2 SMs for myself and wife and got 50K x 2 within minutes! Thanks Dan!

June 21st, 2011 at 4:49 am
Dan,
Based on the information you provided. If I for example have a chase freedom card with 60k points and now sign up for a sapphire card I can transfer freedom points to the sapphire card which then can transfer to continental 1:1 miles is this correct?
173
June 21st, 2011 at 7:57 am
thanks dan as always!
got the extra 50k on both cards!!
174
June 21st, 2011 at 8:48 am

175
June 21st, 2011 at 9:28 am
I am about to sign up for the card however I want to know exactly what I am supposed to do in order to get the extra 50,000 points? Thanks

How do I use the Sappfire Miles for Hyatt Hotels?
Do I need to first open an account on the Hyatt website ?
178
June 21st, 2011 at 4:51 pm
Dan, Your recommended 30 day wait between chase apps are determined by when the app was submitted or when finally approved? Thanks for all your continuous help.
179
June 21st, 2011 at 7:07 pm
Was rejected for additional 50K points. Wanted invitation number. I guess I’m the first
180
June 21st, 2011 at 7:13 pm
@Ariel:
Correct.
@Meir:
Yes, open an account there first.
@Josh:
Submitted.
@Joe:
Yup, looks like you are the first. I would try again…
181
June 21st, 2011 at 7:31 pm
Sent in from my Mom’s account, and was told I would need to resubmit a request after spending $3000.
182
June 21st, 2011 at 7:45 pm
joe
did you call them or send them a sm
183
June 21st, 2011 at 7:57 pm
Rejected again. I think they see the previous emails because the same rep quoted a paragraph straight from the first email.
184
June 21st, 2011 at 8:53 pm
SM, should i call?
185
June 21st, 2011 at 9:20 pm
rejected too. last night they responded that they cant give me the 100k because my rewards acct is not yet active and i should try again once its active. tried again today and got rejected.
186
June 21st, 2011 at 9:28 pm
Seems like all the sudden people are getting rejected tonight.
Probably best to hold off asking until the morning when another rep is there…
187
June 21st, 2011 at 10:58 pm
my son was also rejected tonight. I told him to try to call and be very sad. I gave him the phone number from the email and also the one that Joe had attached to his email. will let you know that results. thanks
188
June 21st, 2011 at 11:02 pm
Just got denied seven hours after sending SM. Boo hoo.
189
June 22nd, 2011 at 2:05 am
Was denied this afternoon as well
…………..sent them another letter in dissatisfaction, we’ll c how they respond. So not cool. This would’ve been really nice to get. Nu NU, u win some, and u lose some.
190
June 22nd, 2011 at 9:20 am
I also got rejected. I was wondering if anyone had any luck when calling.
191
June 22nd, 2011 at 10:57 am
Dan,
I want to send them a SM but I want it to sound correct. Can you give a very brief description of promotion code S6V so that I can explain it to them correctly.
192
June 22nd, 2011 at 1:11 pm
@outoftowner:
There is no “proper description of S6V. It’s just targeted offer code (which gives 100k for $3,000 spend).
In all likelihood, you’ll get shot down, (no one, to my knowledge has been approved since about late afternoon yesterday) but just mention the code, that it offered 100k for $3000 spend, and cross your fingers. Good luck.
193
June 22nd, 2011 at 2:54 pm
Both my wife and I got rejected.
Sent another SM asking them to reconsider.
194
June 22nd, 2011 at 5:50 pm
they responded to my request,
“I kindly
request you to reply to this email with the offer code and
the invitation number”
does anyone have one?
195
June 22nd, 2011 at 7:43 pm
is there a fuel surcharge when booking a miles ticket on continental
196
June 23rd, 2011 at 12:54 am
so has anyone got the match since yesterday maybe chase is catching on!
197
June 23rd, 2011 at 1:36 am
requested the extra miles last night and was rejected. resent the request this morning and was rejected.
198
June 23rd, 2011 at 1:49 am
@partys over????:
Looks like they closed this up last night.
Congrats to those who got in on it, but even for those who didn’t, 50K is still a serious chunk of miles!
199
June 23rd, 2011 at 10:55 am
Dan
Do you think if i call them up i can be lucky and get them?
200
June 23rd, 2011 at 1:07 pm
when is this deal over?
201
June 23rd, 2011 at 3:10 pm
I sent an sm and, like everyone else, was asked to provide an invitation number. I called and the representative said she would submit the request to the research dept and I should hear by mail in 7-10 bus days. She said it was likely to get approved. I’m not sure if that is significant.
202
June 23rd, 2011 at 4:55 pm
Hi Dan
I tried to get the additional 50000 points to my new chase saphire card and they responded that I need an offer code. Is there an offer code available for me to use?Thank you Dan for a great service. Yitzchok
203
June 23rd, 2011 at 4:59 pm
Dan wrote “then send a secure message from your online Chase account asking them to match offer S6V for 100,000 points”. Does anybody know what S6V is?
204
June 24th, 2011 at 12:31 am
Hi Dan,
I sent the SM for 50,000 additional points for the offer S6V, but they denied my request telling me that:
Thank you for your interest in the Chase Sapphire bonus
points offer.
The 100,000 bonus points offer was made through a small
direct mail test and is non-transferable. The Offer Code
and Invitation Number included in the mailing can only be
applied to the recipient’s account. If you are not listed
as the addressee of the mailing, we will be unable to
apply the offer to your account. I understand you may be
disappointed and I am sincerely sorry for any confusion.
Please know that we will consider reviewing the terms of
other offers you receive in the future.
Your satisfaction and your business are greatly
appreciated, and I look forward to your continuing
participation in our credit card program.

Dan, do I have to keep trying in sending more SM in order to get the 50K bonus points, or that is a worthless?
205
June 24th, 2011 at 1:14 am
So can we say party over?
206
June 24th, 2011 at 7:11 am
The party is more than over.
I Called a few days ago and was told that I would get the extra 50,000 points.
When I called back to check my account, the new rep said the old rep was wrong and I have no right to get the points!
207
June 24th, 2011 at 3:34 pm
dan
when does this promo end?
208
June 24th, 2011 at 4:48 pm
I saw a paragraph saying about earning 10 points for every trasnaction if I have Chase Freedom Card, Chase Checking Account,and a Sapphire Preferred Account. I tried to locate this information on Chase website but unable to find any more info on how this actually works. Just because I have 3 of them, I earn 10 points on every transaction my Chase Freedome Card is swiped? Just that easy? Can anyone please guide me on where I can find details on this?
209
June 26th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
@Dan Shouldn’t be this be updated as DEAD? (at least re: 2nd 50k)
210
June 28th, 2011 at 12:34 pm
Apparently this promo will not work if you already have a chase sapphire card (non-preferred), and they will not upgrade your card with any premium (50k or 100k points). Big disappointment.
211
June 28th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
dan, can i still try to call or email chase to get the additional 50k (total 100k) ?
212
June 28th, 2011 at 10:33 pm
Denied as well, I would agree to refer to this as dead
213
June 28th, 2011 at 10:36 pm
@Ari #210, I emailed them and was denied as well but was given 5,000 bonus points pretty much for asking nicely. Worth a shot
214
June 29th, 2011 at 11:35 am
I sent them a secure message and was denied as well. I then spoke to them over the phone and was told they know there were codes leaked on the internet that people were giving to get the 100k offer and that now they implemented a policy of not extending that offer unless you were specifically targeted with an invitation. Basically they caught on and this deal is DEAD!
215
June 29th, 2011 at 6:52 pm
Wrote to Chase about getting the extra 50,000 points and was refused. The rep. said it was a solicited offer and I would have to provide an invitation number to be eligible for the extra 50,000. Sent another email begging to be considered so we’ll see.
216
June 29th, 2011 at 6:55 pm
@Richard S:
Looks like the 100K deal is dead unfortunately.
Still 50K Continental miles or Hyatt points is nothing to sneeze at!
They can be easily be worth over $1,000.
217
June 30th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
Is the link still working?
218
July 6th, 2011 at 12:13 pm
Dan,
Any idea how to get chase to allow me to do a balance transfer to the sapphire card? B/c on the sign up screen for the 50k offer it says that, balance transfers are included in qualifying purchases. But I just talked to chase and they said I can not do a balance transfer at this time.
219
July 7th, 2011 at 12:18 am
any idea if you can apply for the chase card if you are unemployed, like homemaker. what do you put in for employer?
220
July 7th, 2011 at 8:40 am
U can just write bmg..or anything it doesn’t matter so much who employer is. Mayb put down husbands employer cause its same household.
221
July 7th, 2011 at 11:42 pm
Any way to get the extra 50,000 points? Anyone have an invitation for that promotion? I applied for the 100,000 and now they are only giving me 50,000!!!
222
July 12th, 2011 at 12:12 am

Mazel Tov to you! Asach Nachas!
I got approved for the sapphire after calling the reconsideration department.
I sent a message to them about the other 50000. They didn’t want to honor it. They forwarded it to the manager. Still not. I sent a new message. Trying. Think it’s still gonna work?
225
July 12th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
originally chase said i applied for and/or had too many cc’s and didnt approve me for sapphire since i had applied for and was approved for chase BA and chase continental. today i closed the BA to get refunded the $95 fee (w/in 60days) and called the reconsideration and they agreed to approve the sapphire (the cs thought when i closed ba i gave up my credit line i had on it, but i had actually moved it to the other cards so…)
226
August 4th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Dan,
I just signed up for the Sapphire card and got approved. I also have the Freedom card for a while. They are telling me I cant transfer my Freedom points to the Sapphire account. Any suggestions on how I can get this transfer to happen?
227
August 4th, 2011 at 7:34 pm
@DL_NY:
It’s easy to do.
Just logon to Chase, click on ultimate rewards, then manage account and combine points.
228
August 15th, 2011 at 5:56 pm
Has anyone who recevied the bonus 50K points on the Sapphire Card also received the additional 50K points after reaching the spending threshold of $3K?
How long does it usually take to show up?
Thansk.
