Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is almost done! The last two weeks Greg, Nick, and Stephen competed to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines. But who completed the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
While online links are not currently available for the Chase Sapphire Reserve card, many people on Reddit are reporting that they have been able to successfully apply in-branch. You can check which branches are open on Sunday using Chase’s branch locator and checking the box “Open on Sunday”. Here is an example for California.
The Bonus
As a reminder, here is the bonus for the Sapphire Reserve:
- Earn 100,000 points after spending $4K within the first 3 months. $450 annual fee is not waived.
And here are a few key benefits of the card:
- 3X points on dining and travel.
- $300 credit towards purchases in the travel category each calendar year.
- Points transfer 1:1 to travel partners.
- Points are worth 1.5 cents each when booking travel through Ultimate Rewards.
- Up to $100 Global Entry/Precheck fee credit every 4 years.
- Priority Pass Select membership.
- Some Visa Infinite benefits. (No $100 companion airfare discount.)
- Primary CDW rental car insurance.
5/24?
As of now there are mixed data points regarding 5/24 approvals/denials, so it is too early to tell or make a definitive judgement.

Do authorized users count toward the 5/24 rule? Is removing your spouse as an authorized user a good idea? Will it hurt their credit score or help?
Yes, Chase counts AU cards if they show up on the AU’s credit report but recon agents can ignore them if you ask nicely. Removing spouse as AU can potentially help with their Chase approvals but only if they explicitly request that their AU account be removed from their credit report.
This shouldn’t help or hurt spouse’s credit score
The 3 points per dollar works on local citi transportation like trains and buses?
Hey FM, my long time go to guy, will you do a post on lounge access pass on the Citi prestige, Chase Ritz and the upcoming Chase SP reserve?
I have the former 2 but very confused about which lounge pass to use when I travel nationally and internationally with my family. Which one has most lounge access and which one allows any number of families or guests?
Thanks
Yes, I’m sure I will do a comparison but info about the Sapphire Reserve guest policy is not yet known
