Link: Apply now for the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is regarded as one of the most lucrative credit cards out there. Several weeks ago, we saw an excellent welcome offer introduced on this card, in line with the best offers that we’ve seen. If eligible, this is an ideal time to apply for the card.

I’ve been informed that this offer will be pulled at 9AM EST on Thursday, May 15, 2025. So if you’re interested in picking up this card, I’d recommend applying ASAP.

Chase Sapphire Preferred improved bonus details

The Chase Sapphire Preferred currently has a welcome offer where you can earn 100,000 Ultimate Rewards points after spending $5,000 within the first three months.

Assuming you have this card, Ultimate Rewards points can be redeemed for a minimum of 1.25 cents each toward travel through the Chase Travel Portal, meaning 100,000 points will get you at least $1,250 in travel. However, thanks to the other ways to redeem them, I value Ultimate Rewards points at 1.7 cents each, so to me, those points are worth $1,700.

As a point of comparison, the card previously offered a bonus of 60,000 points, so this is a lot better.

Book a lot of awesome travel with this welcome offer!

Who is eligible for the Chase Sapphire Preferred bonus?

You can be approved for the Chase Sapphire Preferred if:

  • You don’t currently have a Chase Sapphire card (Preferred or Reserve)
  • You haven’t received a new cardmember bonus on a Chase Sapphire card (Preferred or Reserve) in the past 48 months

Note that this is based on whether you’re the primary cardmember on one of these cards — if you’re currently an authorized user (or have been one in the past), you’d be eligible. Also keep in mind the general rules of applying for Chase cards, including the 5/24 rule (though there are increasingly reports of people being approved in spite of being over the 5/24 limit).

See this post for more details on eligibility requirements for the Sapphire Preferred.

Keep in mind the restrictions on being approved for Chase cards

Why the Chase Sapphire Preferred is worth it

The $95 annual fee Chase Sapphire Preferred is one of the most well-rounded mid-range cards out there. The card has the following perks, among other things:

Bottom line

The Chase Sapphire Preferred is offering an exceptional welcome bonus of 100,000 Ultimate Rewards upon completing minimum spending. This great bonus will get you at least $1,250 worth of travel, though potentially much more than that, thanks to Chase’s travel partners.

In my opinion this is the most well-rounded mid-range credit card out there, and offers on the card don’t get better than this. If you’ve been interested, the offer is ending soon, so now is the time to apply.

Do you plan on picking up the Chase Sapphire Preferred with 100K bonus points?

    If I’m going by date to date, I’m in Chase Jail (at “5/24”), until 19 May. At that point, I’ll be at “4/24”. This offer ends at 9am EDT on 15 May.

    I will apply for the CSP at 6am EDT on 15 May. Do I have a chance here? I have also heard that Chase looks at the first of the month to gauge the “5/24” month.

    Do I have a realistic shot at being approved for the CSP?

  2. Ryan Guest

    Just got approved via your link! Thanks for all the great content, I've traveled so much more than I could have ever imagined thanks to this blog.

  3. Nate Guest

    May 12, 2025 according to referral links

  4. Julian Guest

    When do we think this offer is likely to end?

  5. JB Guest

    I have the Capital One Venture X and the Savor card for my everyday spending. With this combo, I get a similar 3x capital one miles on the Savor on groceries and dining. Is there any incremental value in applying for the CSP?

    1. Andrew Guest

      The 10% annual bonus essentially makes travel 2.1x and dining 3.1x compared to 2x and 3x, respectively (hardly revolutionary, and unlikely to be worth the annual fee). I have the VX and Savor and am considering CSP but only for the bonus as the incremental value is minimal.

    2. Mark P Diamond

      The value is the signup bonus, which is how all cards should be weighed.

  6. DanG-DEN Diamond

    Ben just wanted to let you know I enjoy reading your site so when I applied for this card this week I made sure to use the link from your post.

    1. Ben Schlappig OMAAT

      @ DanG-DEN -- You're so kind, thanks so much for your support, and for reading in general, I really appreciate it!

    2. DAVID D Guest

      That's a great story, very nice. But let me tell you, you left 30,000 AMEX points on the board.

  7. FFups Guest

    Question: I had the Reserve card I cancelled yesterday, to be eligible for the Preferred. I read different comments on how long to wait before applying for Preferred -- 1 billing cycle, 1 week, 48h... If I just tried today and get denied because it's too early, could I just try again 1 week from now or so, or does that denial count against me? Thanks

    1. Mitch Guest

      Hey FFups, My wife and I waited 5 business days before reapplying for this offer. It worked but I'd recommend at least 5 business days.

    2. Mark P Diamond

      You should have downgraded, not canceled. Downgrading makes the wait time 4 days. Canceling makes it 30.

    3. Venu Guest

      I did the same thing except that I downgraded my Reserve to Freedom Unlimited after 7 years. I applied for the Preferred the next day. I didn't get instant approval because they needed to rejiggle my credit limits (I had huge credit limits on my other chase cards) to accommodate my Preferred. Within 5 minutes they sent an email approving my card and adjusting my credit limits evenly across all my cards.

  8. ZTravel Diamond

    If I have the Chase Freedom card and have Rewards points under that card… which doesn’t allow transfer to partner airlines/hotels (I think it’s limited to Accor and one other partner) and I get this card, can I move the un-transferable Reward points from the Freedom card to this one so I can actually transfer them to a hotel/airline partner?

    1. MVP Guest

      I previously used got Chase Freedom Unlimited through referral link from this site. The deal doubled all earned points after first year. My biggest concern was that Chase after 1 year would say that they have no idea what I am talking about when I ask about points doubling. But everything worked smoothly.
      P.S. I don’t have any premium Chase cards so I used points for the statement credit.

  9. Stanley C Diamond

    It should be pointed as well that the offer is for 100k points at 5k spend and yes it is better than the previous offer but it was 60k points for 3k spend so I think it is adjusted accordingly. This post mentions that this current offer is better now but at least point out the fact the higher points also equals a higher spend.

  10. Jeff Guest

    I tried applying today and was reminded that I was once approved for this card on May 11, 2021. So I'm five weeks short of being eligible to apply again. I realize they could pull the offer at any time/their discretion, but does anyone know how long the offers typically stay open for?

    1. Ben Schlappig OMAAT

      @ Jeff -- Usually these offers last for several weeks, but of course there's no guarantee that will be the case this time around. Good luck!

    2. Steve Guest

      Jeff - remember that it’s 48 months from the time you received the bonus last, not the date of application.

  11. Jonathan Guest

    Out of curiosity, if someone signed up for a CSP >2 years ago but did not receive the signup bonus (not enough spend within the allotted timeline) would that technically make them eligible for the new SUB? (Assuming all other requirements are met)

    1. Ben Schlappig OMAAT

      @ Jonathan -- Yep! The 48-month rule is specific to receiving a bonus, and not just to having the card.

  12. Regis Guest

    Fantastic offer. Plus the 200K points bonus for the IHG card. Good time to be signing up for credit cards!

    1. Santos Guest

      Not sure if it's been covered but I also received via email a 200k MR points bonus offer for Amex Plat Business. Spend requirement is kinda high, though. $20k/3months.

      But yes, card issuers see the pain coming and are sweetening the pot, it seems.

    2. Eskimo Guest

      @Santos

      When you say 'pain coming' you mean recession?

      So you're suggesting that with a potential recession, banks are giving out more unsecured loan and encouraging to spend even more?

      Now that's messed up.

    3. Santos Guest

      @Eskimo banks see recession coming and want to encourage more consumer spending to weather the storm. Plain and simple. And of course they’ll take a gamble on debt, because that can be used as collateral. We’ve seen this movie before. Actually, you should watch the movie. It’s called The Big Short.

  13. Matthew Whitehouse Guest

    Chase has great rewards card products. However, JPMorgan Chase is the top bank in the world for fossil fuel financing. That is incredibly disturbing given the climate crisis and I plan to cancel my Sapphire Preferred at the next renewal.

    1. Mark Christopher Guest

      Great, get lost.

    2. Matthew Whitehouse Guest

      Thanks for engaging with my comment! I’m a regular OMAAT reader and don’t plan to go anywhere. Have a great day!

    3. Eskimo Guest

      Another greenwashed hypocrite.

      You criticize a bank for financing something yet you still keep the card until renewal and not canceling immediately.
      ICYMI, every use of the card is contributing to the bank financing.

      You whine about fossil fuel and climate crisis yet you refuse to stop reading a travel blog.
      ICYMI, travel industry runs on fossil fuel. Your phone is built in factories powered by fossil fuel. The internet you're using is...

      Now That is incredibly disturbing.

    4. Matthew Whitehouse Guest

      Feel free to contact Chase and ask them when I last used my CSP. Also feel free to ask them when it’s up for renewal. Thanks for engaging and have a fabulous day!

  14. CSR does not get it? Guest

    What? I cannot apply because I have a CSR Card already?

    1. Ben Schlappig OMAAT

      @ CSR does not get it? -- Correct, if you currently have the CSR, you're not eligible for the bonus on the CSP.

  15. Wayne Y Guest

    Well this sucks. I signed up for the CSP last week to pay for my taxes...

    1. Ed Guest

      Ask them to match the current offer.

    2. Wayne Y Guest

      Hi Ed,

      Thanks for the suggestion. I sent Chase a secured message asking for a match. Just received their confirmation!

  16. S. Guest

    I get value out of the CSR, using the LGA Sapphire lounge frequently, and would prefer to minimize the time without the Reserve lounge benefit while I apply for the CSP/bonus. Aside from the CSR, I currently hold two United personal cards. Are there any suggestions for holding a CSP and CSR simultaneously? I.e. downgrade CSR to Freedom, apply for CSP, product change Freedom back to CSR while working on CSR minimum spend?

  17. Eric Schmidt Guest

    Any idea how long such signon bonus offers usually last? If someone for example is just on the edge of reaching their 4-year bonus time limit?

    1. Ben Schlappig OMAAT

      @ Eric Schmidt -- It hasn't been announced. Typically these offers stay around for several weeks or a couple of months(ish), but there's no guarantee that will be the case this time around.

    2. Jeff Guest

      I'm in the exact same boat. Five weeks short. Just posted a comment asking this exact question before reading your comment!

  18. FA Guest

    Does anyone know if this 100k offer is available via referrals?

    Trying to see if I can double dip on the 100k and 10k referral bonus.

    1. Ed Guest

      Just checked, doesn't look like it is (yet...referrals often lag public offers so it could be coming soon)

    2. Daniel Guest

      Rumor on Reddit is 4/8 for this

  19. Eskimo Guest

    If I currently have a CSR that has been open for >7 years, could I cancel today, and reapply in ~1 week to get the bonus?

    1. klsd Guest

      don't cancel - downgrade + keep the points

  20. Jay Guest

    long time reader and used your link for the referral and approved (had been a victim of 5/24 and finally got out of that jail last month!). Thanks for all the free advice since 2015!

    1. Ben Schlappig OMAAT

      @ Jay -- Thanks so much for the support, and for reading, I really appreciate it! :-)

  21. James Guest

    If I currently have a CSP that has been open for >4 years, could I cancel today, and reapply in ~1 week to get the bonus?

    1. DG Guest

      Yes I would recommend to just downgrade to the original Chase Freedom and then apply for the CSP

    2. Sel, D. Guest

      My understanding is you have to go through a billing cycle first.

    3. Harold Guest

      incorrect. one week is fine
