Chase Sapphire 100,000 Bonus Points (Update: DEAD)

FunkyGonz said:   Yea does anyone know good way to spend 3000 in 3 months, since the coin route is no longer working?

Open PNC bank virtual wallet account and fund with 2K via CC. Score $100 bonus along the way if you had no accounts with them in the last 3 months, can set up a DD of $750 and make 10 non-PIN transactions with PNC debit card. See link in the WIKI.

Cashed out my points and balance paid off. Next step for me is to cancel the card. Has anyone called to cancel and been offered points to keep it open? If so, what did you say and how many points were you offered?

Not true, actually. Sapphire has a different customer service line. They're somewhere in the U.S. (forget where exactly) but they've always been tremendously helpful whenever I've needed anything. Wait times are virtually non-existent as well... So much better than the standard Chase card services line, although it would be nice if they had bonus rewards for being a checking customer, much like the Freedom/Slate get. Despite having a higher limit and better perks, I'll normally reach for my Freedom over my Sapphire just for the extra Cash Back...

Chase does have a huge call center in Springfield, Missouri. Do not know a direct number for them unfortunately.

100,000 points for $500 in first 3 months

no annual fee

the offer code on the letter is X1P

oh and it's just "chase sapphire" not preferred

wow..Chase must be desperate to get people on their credit cards.

I'm in the same situation with the 50,000 offer for $3,000. What email did you send it to and do you have the preferred card or regular card?

bverly said:   What email address did you send it to? and do you have the regular card or preferred? I think the 100,000 points offer is for the preferred card, but I only have the regular one, but I had also signed up for the 50,000 for spending $3,000. Any thoughts?

Not sure what you mean, the new 100k point offer is targeted mail. The 'old' 100K offer where you send a message is no longer valid.

Offer: X1P

No annual Fee 100,000 Bonus Points.

if anyone is interested, i can offer more than $1 cash per 100 points for sapphire preferred points - PM me if you are interested

Got the exact response - looks like someone cut and paste this generic response!! And the following:

Dear XXXXX,

As indicated in our previous response, the Chase Sapphire
credit card application offering 100,000 bonus points is
non-transferable. The offer is by invitation only and we
are unable to apply the offer to an account that does not
belong to the recipient of the mailing.

Unless you can provide the unique Invitation Number
included on the direct mail sent to you, we are
considering this issue closed. We regret any
inconvenience this may cause you.

If you have any further questions, please reply using the
Secure Message Center.

Thank You,

Can anyone comment on doing this: http://lifehacker.com/5835072/use-amazon-webpay-to-meet-rewards-card-minimum-spending-requirements

Will chase consider this a cash advance or some other thing that won't count towards the $3k needed?

Wondering the same myself...

Terms state the following:
"Term: Cash-like Transactions
What It Means: The following transactions will be treated as cash advances: ....making a payment using a third party service"

Does this mean that if I use Amazon webpay that I am going to incur the fees:
"Cash Advances: Either $10 or 5% of the the amount of each transaction, whichever is greater" ?

Has anyone used Amazon Webpay with their Sapphire Preferred? If so, were you charged as per the terms above?

I'd rather find out online rather than calling Chase, in case they are unaware of this service and I would rather keep it that way so that we can use it to our advantage. Thanks so much in advance for your time, effort, and assistance. It is so greatly appreciated.

Why don't you just effing try a small transaction and see? Or, I guess you could ruin it for everyone by threatening to call chase.

how long does it take to get the 50k points after the 3k statement is paid off?

DELETED

BA still shows up as a transfer option by me

This is not dead. Got an offer the other day valid through Nov 11

That's targeted. If you read the thread, what is dead is people getting the additional 50K points without the targeted offer.

You hit the required spending and should wait for the statement to be generated to get the points. At least that is what happened to me.

Has anyone applied recently (say Sep or Oct'11) and was still successful in getting the additional 50K miles using this offer code S6V?

Call the number on the back of your card?

If you transfer the points to an airline or sell them you can get even more cash than 1000/100,000 points
