Update 4/8/25: 100k offer is now available via referral links as well. Find your referral link here. No referral links in the comments below.
Update 4/3/25: Now available online as well as predicted.
Update 3/24/25: 100k offer is live in Chase branches. The online offer is supposed to be coming by April 3rd. We don’t know if or when referral offers will update to 100k.
Update 3/19/25: We’ve been able to confirm that the branch offer is coming on March 23rd, per memo sent to Chase bankers. More importantly, a Reddit report indicates that it’ll become available to Chase affiliates on April 3rd for online applications. We don’t know if the offer will ever appear on referral links.
Original Post 3/17/25:
According to a source on reddit who has provided reliable information in the past Chase will launch a Chase Sapphire Preferred 100,000 point bonus in branch starting March 23, 2025. The minimum spend requirement will be $5,000 within three months of account opening.
Independently other outlets have also been told to expect a similar offer to become available sometime after March 23, 2025 (not sure on exact dates). It’s unclear if the offer will eventually become available via referral or not.
Obviously a fantastic offer and we will add it to our list of the best credit card bonuses when the offer launches.
What’s the offer with the referral link? I can’t find it anywhere. Are we still getting the 100K plus another bonus through a referral link ?
It’s the same 100k offer but the referrer also gets 10,000 UR point ($100).
where do i share my referral link?
Not in comments nor is there is a referral thread available.

You should note here or in the best signup bonus page that the 48-month rule applies
I applied for this card more than 4 years ago and got the bonus. I downgraded the card to the free Chase Sapphire card. Do I need to close this basic free Sapphire card before applying for the Sapphire Preferred? Or I can keep it and apply for this new preferred with 100k bonus? I am confused as the terms read “current cardmembers of any Sapphire credit card”. Please advise.
You need to either close it or product change your Sapphire to another card. I would recommend PCing it to a Freedom. Then about a week later, you can apply for the 100K CSP offer.
Nice. Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll go ahead and do a product change.
I just made the product change request with Chase. My credit card logo changed right away, online, to the Freedom card. How long do you recommend waiting before applying for the Sapphire card? A week? I hope the offer won’t disappear between now and then…
I haven’t studied all of the DPs but I do remember seeing at least a couple of people mention that it is okay to apply 4 days after PCing it. If it was me, I would still wait at least a week to be safe but to each their own.
Is buying Visa/MC GCs safe enough to meet the spending requirement, or is Chase strict on that?
Chase generally doesn’t care, but amex does. I wouldn’t do total spend that way.
Does anyone happen to know how long it takes for the account page to start offering the Chase spending offers on a new card? 3x dining is relatively low compared to other cards and I was wondering if the Chase spend offer would act like a point multiplier while I work on the $5000 spend.
Hello, I applied 4/10 and got 7-10 days message on the automated line to check application status. Called and talked to them. They told me they couldn’t verify my ID and asked me for documents to prove my DOB and Address. Did so and receipt was acknowledged by them. I was told they are pushing my application to the team for approval.
This was all done on the same day 04/10. After that, the next day, the automated 7-10 days message changed to 2 weeks. Called them on 04/14 after no approval email nor change in automated message. I was told that they had everything they needed and it was sent for approval, and to just wait till the end of this week “hopefully”.
If anyone has any insight on how I could move forward with them to expedite approval and then the card, or do I just have to wait it out for snail mail? I have purchases that I wanted to put on the card to meet the SUB.
I believe applying through a work device with Zscaler/VPN may have been to blame for the 7-10 days message/denial at first. Not sure though. A possible DP for others.
Is there somewhere to share referrals in general? I know occasionally we’re allowed to share them here, but somewhere other than Churning? Even when I was super active in that sub and managed to get up votes I still never had enough karma to share a referral link. The two times I was able to do it here (for the Venture card and Disney card) I maxed out referrals. Thank you!
If I received my last CSP bonus on 5/16/21 and my billing cycles for that card started on the 23rd of every month, when am I ok to apply for this 100k offer?
As long as you have no current Sapphire card, you are good to go on 5.17.25.
I haven’t noticed any of the discussion that you mentioned. I am going by the terms. You are supposed to wait over 48 months from when you last received a Sapphire bonus. If you want to wait longer, that is up to you but the offer could get removed at any time.
I am unsure if you get an instant rejection with no hard pull if you apply before 48 months.
However, I am fairly confident that you will be good to go on 5.17.25 as long as you are sure that you received the last bonus on 5.16.21.
Think I’d just call the reconsideration line on 5/23 instead of a new app.
Approved immediately. I’m in California and they pulled Experian, not Transunion as I was led to believe from previous comments, glad I unfroze both just in case.
