CIP - Ink Preferred biz card. Rumor is public offer is slated for July 11th, per DoC.
If the 120K offer is showing on my account when I sign in, does that give me a good chance of getting approved? I will need a card for house taxes and insurance by September and that gives me until early October to meet the 8K spend.
 
I think that I'm going to go for 2 CIPs. First I'll refer dd, collect 40k URs, then I'll refer myself with her link. I have 2 more property tax installments, tuition and res payment in September and chemo treatments for my 14 yr old doggie. Sad that I'll be able to meet the spend before the end of September.

I closed 2 cards and lowered the CL on another last week (no phone calls), so I should be good to go. I have to check dd's cards and make sure that the CL is as low as possible.

If successful I won't feel as bad about using 178k URs to pay for my hotel room in London in December at the BoTree (6 nights). It was a great deal -- I think that someone at Expedia (Chase's back-end) made an error and loaded the prices for the hotel in US$ instead of GBP. I checked less than 24 hours later and the prices had gone up by $3k (I booked 1 room cash and the other using URs).
 
So P2 applied for a Amex card a few weeks ago using my referral link and got the dreaded pop-up. I have seen some reports where the pop-up was seen using the referral link, but no pop-up when using an application without referral. So I'm thinking that maybe worth a try.

So my question is: Is it worth trying again with the referral link? And how long should I wait before trying a non-referral link?

IDK what's best for you to do at this point but wanted to add a DP that last year, P2 got a pop-up on a support link but instant approval when trying with no support.

I would try again with the support link because if the non-support goes through I'd be going what if. If still pop-up, then try the non-support right after, no need to wait. Each try generates a canceled app record, which you can see on the status page. So I wouldn't go crazy with it, but otherwise there isn't really a "cost" with trying different ways.

I've been getting the pop-up for months now. Last week I tried P2's link and it was a no-go. Today I tried it again (because 25K MRs is too attractive to miss out on!) and it failed on Chrome, and got the pop-up on Safari desktop, and also the pop-up on my iPhone. Finally I went thru the NLL link on DoC (for the Hilton Surpass) and got instant approval, right after the pop-ups from my other attempts today.

I'm getting ready to cancel my vanilla Plat (plan to keep my Schwab Plat), so I expect to remain in pop-up jail for the foreseeable future :laughing:
 
Didn't Chase used to have a SUB tracker in the app? I recently got a CSP for DH and we met the spend pretty quickly. I don't see the SUB tracker anywhere. I will be patient and wait till the statement posts, but wondering if they got rid of the tracker. ??

I see it. I also got a CSP recently. In the app I click on the CSP and scroll down, past transactions, there is a new account bonus tracker.

Can you see the SUB points pending

Replying to myself here: It seems as if there is an IT glitch as reported here:
https://travel-on-points.com/sapphire-preferred-bonus-issue/

From the article:
"The Chase supervisors informed them that there was a systemwide coding issue affecting June Sapphire applications. That is what is causing these Sapphire Preferred bonus issues."

I will wait it out for now.....then SM. I may have to have DH call if SM doesn't work.

Fingers crossed that if this information is accurate, it will correct itself.

If anyone else applied for the CSP in June - you should read this article and make sure you get your bonus.

Met the spend on the Alaska card and the IHG biz far too quickly, whoops.

Debating the Chase increased offer 120k or the Amex targeted Gold Biz for 150k MR- opinions?

Also, my disney peeps, we could come in for our November cruise a day early and hit a MVMCP- worth it? We have never been. We wouldnt do a regular ticket, just the party. My kids can stay up until 9:30, maybe 10pm at the most. I can easily change our flights (love that about jetblue).

Strange. I applied in May, guess that’s why I can see it

So I tried again with the support link.....no pop-up.....but had a spinny thing for ages and then it went to review and I got a 14 day message. Can't remember seeing that with Amex before.

Anyway, received approval email about 30 mins later so just have to hope the relevant SUB and referral bonuses stick. Just feeling a little uncertain about it so I guess it might need an online chat to confirm that all is OK.

If you didn't get the pop up the sub will be there. The delayed approval doesn't affect it.
