Update 3/24/23: This offer is now live in Chase branches across the US and we’ve received numerous reports of successful applications.
We’ve seen a number of reports over the past few days about a 90K offer for the Chase Sapphire Preferred (CSP) card that will soon be available in-branch. Doctor of Credit received a Chase internal memo which indicates that, starting 3/19, there will be an in-branch welcome offer of 80,000 Ultimate Rewards points after $4,000 in spend within the first 3 months plus an additional 10,000 points after spending $6,000 total within the first 6 months.
Our assumption is that this will be available at all Chase locations. However, as always with these in-branch offers, it can pay to call and confirm before going.

Quick Thoughts
We see better in-branch offers for the Sapphire Preferred now and then — sometimes the online offer also increases, but not always. While 90K points isn’t the best offer that we’ve ever seen on the Sapphire Preferred (it’s been as high as 100K), it is still an excellent offer that could be well worth the trip to a Chase branch.
Currently, referral links go to the 60K public offer. However, if that increases, a household referral would add another 15,000 points to the total haul. If you’re in a 2-player household and already have one Sapphire Preferred, it may be worth holding off for a bit to see whether or not this 90K offer eventually goes online.

I know the bonus restrictions include 1) Not having received a sapphire bonus in past 48 months and 2) not currently having an open Sapphire card. I have the Sapphire Reserve now, which I obtained about six years ago. If I cancel the Reserve now, can I apply for the Sapphire Preferred a few weeks later? I will meet the technical requirements for the bonus, but will Chase hold the Reserve cancellation against me?
Any DP’s of SM to get the offer if already got it?
My friend applied online using my referral link a month ago. Would they match the bonus?
I saw a rumor that the public offer will be 80k.
Try requesting via secure message. For my family, they always say as soon as I reach min spend for bonus, I may request it. I always refer to my original match request and their secure message response once I meet min spend.
I assume there will be the usual 5-24 consideration in obtaining this card?
Disqualified if prior CSP?
I think it’s 48 months since the last welcome bonus was earned.
I downgrade this card to a Flex last Oct. what are the chances of me getting this again? (originally got it in 2020)
Thanks
Need to wait 48 months between Sapphire bonuses, so yes you can get the card, but NO you won’t get the bonus
Drat.. that’s what I was afraid of… thanks
And what are the restrictions for getting this card again?
Thanks
